Al Horford
Because The Suns are my Team and so He is my #1 pick.
See the Suns in the FInals Next year.
Strengths: Runs extremely well, able to beat most forwards down the court … Is blessed with an NBA ready body and good strength … Defensively Horford is a very strong post defender able to use his body strength to disrupt opposing players from setting up … Solid shot blocker thanks to his timing and great anticipation skills … Attacks the basket with aggression and power … A surprising ball handler and passer for his size … This enables him to pass out of double teams with relative ease … Is physical in the low post and does a good job of drawling fouls from opposing defenders … Usually he is able to use his upper body strength and finish after contact … Really makes a big impact on the glass where he uses his body strength to box out … Has proven to be a very coachable player with a solid work ethic … Possesses a calm presence, doesn’t let his emotions get the best of him … Shows good court awareness, rarely does he try moves that are beyond his skill level … Has shown the ability to hit the 12-15 foot jumper from mid-range … Maintains good body control and balance absorbing contact well from opposing post defenders … Rarely bobbles or fails to catch passes thrown into the post thanks to his soft hands …

Kevin Durant by far. Greg Oden only averaged 16 pts and 12 boards this season. Durant averaged 25 pts and 11 boards and Durant can shoot the 3 ball. Durant faced better opponents than Oden did. And unlike Oden, Durant can stay out of foul trouble. Oden got fouled out almost every game. I would choose Hibbert over Oden if the team needed a center more than a forward or guard like Durant. If Hibert's team is down, Hibbert takes charge and leads them to a comeback. Did you know that Yao Ming's brother (7-2) is entering the draft this year? He's a potential top 10 pick.

Greg Oden.
The NBA is seriously lacking good centers. This is were Greg Oden comes in. He's 19 and he's already the best or second be player in college. How much more prospect could you ask for. This guy has superstar written all over him. He has power, speed, explosiveness, you name it. Unless I was Orlando, Houston or any other team that has a superstar center, I would take Oden hands down.

Yi Jianlian becuase he is young and has a lot of potential. He had a great final cba game against wang. People call him the next yao,but he is more atetic than him and with work ethnic could become better. he could be the most overrated player in the draft. People who said durant or oden probably and don't mention yi on the catergory obviously haven't watch him play or juz haters. he is juz 19 (i think) and he have shown great skills already for his young age.

You cant really just pick the best one for any team, much of a teams decision is based on their needs. But for overall talent Id say durant...odens good and all, but hes going to be going up against the best, and i really dont think he will have the experiance to be as good as he has been. Its tough being a big man, more so than being a gaurd...durant will be able to adapt much better...
dont get me wrong, oden will be a star, but durant will go farther with whatever team he joins...

I say Durant, because he is such a gifted player who any team could build around. He's ready to play at the next level now, unlike the others. I'm not impressed with Odem's game, especially seeing Horford handle him the way he did. Conley will be solid but he needs more time to mature as a player.

I'd say Oden... then Jianlian... then Durant... then Law... and then Hibbert... I really don't think any of those Florida boys will be picked until about 6th or 7th.

Roy Hibbert. Why could the T'Wolves get Beasley? he's a power forward and that they already have been given massive Al. they elect a center desperately. They have been given a factor look after and capturing look after.(Foye and mccants,telfair and greater) they only drafted a SF in Corey brewer and that they nonetheless have Gerald green. yet they have quite no midsection
