An absolute steal if he lasts this long.
15. Detroit Pistons: Brandon Jennings, 6-1, 170, PG, Italy
Even with Will Bynum and Rodney Stuckey, Jennings is too good to pass up.
16. Chicago Bulls: Terrence Williams, 6-6, 213, Sr., SG/SF, Louisville
Reigning ROY Derrick Rose gets a new wingman who can finish on the break.
17. Philadelphia 76ers: Ty Lawson, 6-0, 197, Jr., PG, North Carolina
Andre Miller is on the way out, Lawson is the young playmaker Sixers need.
18. Minnesota Timberwolves: Austin Daye, 6-10, 192, Soph., SF/PF, Gonzaga
Versatile forward has the potential to correct the Corey Brewer blunder.
19. Atlanta Hawks: Jeff Teague, 6-1, 175, Soph., PG, Wake Forest
The Hawks need a fresh young point to replace Mike Bibby.
20. Utah Jazz: DeJuan Blair, 6-6, 277, Soph., PF, Pittsburgh
Bye bye Carlos Boozer. (Darren Collison could be a surprise pick here as well.)
21. New Orleans Hornets: Sam Young, 6-6, 223, Sr., SF, Pittsburgh
Hornets need his size, strength, athleticism and defense on the perimeter.
22. Dallas Mavericks: Patrick Mills, 6-0, 175, Soph., PG, St. Mary's
A solid choice no matter what Jason Kidd decides to do in free agency.
23. Sacramento Kings: James Johnson, 6-7, 257, Soph., PF, Wake Forest
Kings add depth at the position with the best available big left on the board.
24. Portland Trail Blazers: Nick Calathes, 6-5, 185, So., PG/SG/Florida
Steve Blake is not the long-term answer but gets the nod while Calathes heads overseas.
25. Oklahoma City Thunder: Eric Maynor, 6-3, 164, Sr., PG, Virginia Commonwealth
Terrific scorer but also a crafty playmaker who can both spell Russell Westbrook and play alongside him.
26. Chicago Bulls: Darren Collison, 6-1, 165, Sr., PG, UCLA
Bulls are now set in the backcourt, can look to unload Kirk Hinrich's contract.
27. Memphis Grizzlies: Chase Budinger, 6-7, 218, Jr., SF, Arizona.
He's the most NBA-ready player available at this point.
28. Minnesota Timberwolves: Wayne Ellington, 6-5, 190, Jr., SG, North Carolina
Draft-day trio of Thabeet, Daye and Ellington makes Minny forget it wanted a point guard.
29. Los Angeles Lakers: Omri Casspi, SF, 6-9, 211, SF, Israel
Insurance for free agents Lamar Odom and Trevor Ariza.
30. Cleveland Cavaliers: Victor Claver, 6-10, 218, Spain
A long-term project. Immediate help will come via free agency and trades.
