1. Otto Porter
2. Marcus Smart
3. Anthony Bennet
4. Ben McLemore
5. Victor Oladipo

I know a lot of you think shabazz should be in here, but i think of him as a bust(Xavier Henry and him play a lot alike.)

I didnt put Noel on here because we already have the brow who is 1000 times better.

I also hope that we can trade for a mid first round pick because I really like Willie Cauley Stein or Gary Harris

Shabazz is a better scorer than X was in college

He is a project, but i think he could be like Tyson Chandler

Both Hardaway and Burke are not lottery picks, if we trade for a mid first rounder, I would love them

I like those picks, but we are going to be out of the top 5 for sure (that is probably the 1st 5 picks you named). I think the most realistic thing to do is focus on getting the best Center prospect we can, then trade back into to the late 1st round/early 2nd round. So I think our targets should be Zeller, Len or Olynyk. Then try to pick up the BPA after that (best wing available).

Porter is the perfect fit for this team

This would be a good year to trade down and get 2 picks if we can get someone to bite

Burke will most definitely go in the lottery.

None of those centers project to be anything better than what we have. Career backups.

We need an impact guy.

I agree w the 1st post about shabazz. Unless he drops we shouldn't pick him

IIRC, I predicted Shabazz was Shabust at the beginning of the year. I think the guy will, at best, be a role player off the bench.

Love the list, but I'd move Bennett to 5th. I think Otto fits in great with what we need on this team, but Smart is a heck of a player and will be a better pro than college guy.


I also like Michael Carter Williams out of Syracuse. 6'5 and long arms that plays PG right now but I don't think he will stay there. Looks like he's just beginning to scratch the surface of his athleticism.

And IMO, Burke will be in lottery.

any list without Nerlens Noel is faulty.

I'd be surprised if Burke didn't go in the lottery


I was just saying I like those guys. Think they will be players. Not necessarily my first pick if I'm the pelicans.

Porter would make this team complete. None of the big men are better than Lopez imo

I don't think he's a bust.

But he certainly isn't the guy everyone built him up to be.

He can score, no doubt.

But he's an average rebounder, he's dribble-blind, doesn't get any steals or blocks.

So, basically, all he's good for is scoring. Just trade for Michael Beasley if we want that. At least he's 6'10
