What? You thought I wouldn’t lead this article with a guy from the Big East? Get Real. With that said, there isn’t much coming out of the conference in this years NBA Draft. Here’s how were projecting the NBA Lottery

1.) Washington Wizards – John Wall (Kentucky) Well, Duh

2.) Philadelphia 76ers – Evan Turner (Ohio State) I don’t really care about the current personnel. This kid is a baller, and a great pick here.

3.) New Jersey Nets – Derrick Favors (Georgia Tech) They’ll be praying for a shake up and Turner, but I guess I have to start to believe Derrick Favors has the upside everyone says he does. Lopez and Favors could be tough. Lot of talk about Wes Johnson with the 3 and 4 pick.

4.) Minnesota Timberwolves – Demarcus Cousins (Kentucky) Someone is going to bite on this guy. I, personally, think he’s a d-bag, but he’s got it all and he’ll be too tempting to pass up. Here comes the headache. May go Wes Johnson, but they’ll be seduced by potential.

5.) Sacramento Kings – Greg Monroe (Georgetown) I think they will also want Cousins, but I’d be happier with Monroe. Give him a couple years please.. I love this guy’s game

6.) Golden State Warriors – Ekpe Udoh (Baylor) Another team probably hoping for Monroe or Cousins. Udoh looked real good end of last year.

7.) Detroit Pistons – Ed Davis (North Carolina) I think the first mistake of the draft goes here.

8.) Los Angeles Clippers – Wesley Johnson (Syracuse) Every year one guy falls. I think it’s Wes just because of fitting purposes. Clips start to build a nice nucleus. Odds are he’ll go higher, but that’s what everyone is picking.

9.) Utah Jazz – Xavier Henry (Kansas) I think Utah tries to get sexy here and passes up a couple sure things.

10.) Indiana Pacers – Cole Aldrich (Kansas) Kansas boys go back-to-back here. I like this fit. People are saying biggest bust of the draft. Why?

11.) New Orleans Hornets – Luke Babbit (Nevada) Cue your reliable shooter that Peja never turned out to be

12.) Memphis Grizzlies – Patrick Patterson (Kentucky) One pick late for a team hoping for Babbit. This dude is a solid NBA ready player

13.) Toronto Raptors – Daniel Orton/Hassan Whiteside (Kentucky/Marshall) I know this is illegal but the Raptors are gonna reach a little for a big man. Orton’s stock is falling, so we may see Whiteside.

14.) Houston Rockets – Al-farouq Aminu (Wake Forrest) Skilled player with a lax attitude. He may slip further.
