A classic "stash this guy in Europe" for a couple of years pick for the Thunder, who acquired the rights to Pleiss from Atlanta (who acquired the rights from the Nets.)
Pittman has great skill, and could be a beast if he can stay in shape. He's currently weighing in at over 300 lbs -- but was reportedly in the 400-pound range in high school.
Suddenly, the Kings have a very imposing frontcourt. Whiteside's supporters call him a poor man's Marcus Camby.
Solid backup-type point guard will give the Blazers some much-needed backcourt depth. Wonder what the picks of Johnson and Elliot Williams mean for Jerryd Bayless?
ESPN's Fran Fraschilla calls Bjelica a "young Toni Kukoc." He's expected to spend another couple of years playing in Europe. Rights traded to the T-Wolves.
Talented combo guard and explosive scorer, who may have slipped into the second round due to health concerns.
A good passer on the wing, who might develop into a "point forward" type that allows Brandon Jennings to look for his shot. The Knicks were reportedly very high on Hobson.
With the players New York reportedly coveted most -- Craig Brackins, Amon Johnson, Darrington Hobson -- off the board, New York opted for Rautins. Opinions are mixed. His three-point shot and passing are clearly NBA quality, but critics wonder if he'll be able to guard anyone.
The Pac 10's leading scorer in 2009-10, Fields projects as a similar player to New York's Wilson Chandler -- able to play as a big guard or small power forward. A consistent pull-up jumper would help his value considerably.
Another high-reward pick for the Pacers, who may have a steal if "Born Ready" can keep his head on straight.
