2011 NBA Draft Update

The Draft's coming up and a lot has changed since a month ago. A few players (i.e. Terrence Jones) have taken their name out, while others (i.e. Kenneth Faried, Kawhi Leonard) have been climbing up the boards. This will be one of the weakest drafts in years, so it'd be realistic to take the best talent available over than what we need. So, with that in mind, who would you take in this years draft?

Here's my list of who I'd like us to take.

1. Bismack Biyombo - I really like this guy and his 7'7 wingspan and blocking ability. He's got a lot of potential, but my only problem is that he's only 6'9 and raw offensiveley. But none the less, I'd definitely take him if he's available.

2. Jonas Valanciunas - I am also high on this kid. At 6'10 he's got good size and a lot of upside. He's a good offensive rebounder and has some solid post moves. My one concern is that he's very unathletic and a terrible jumper. Getting him at 11 though would be a steal.

3. Kawhi Leonard - Kawhi is one of the best prospects in this year's draft and could have an immediate impact on any team. He plays defense and rebounds, but I've heard his shot needs work.

4. Alec Burks - A 6'6 shooting guard that rebounds, plays mediocre defense, and can score is hard to come by in this league even as bad as that sounds. He could give us a good-sized (for lack of a better word) backcourt and  make Ellis expendable.
