Actual 2010 NBA Draft Results

I believe the top 4 picks above are pretty solid. I would be surprised if the order there changed at all. The rest of the top ten will depend on the enigmatic DeMarcus Cousins and whether a team will draft him based on his immense talent or shy away from him out of fear for his attitude and behavioral  issues.

Look for the Grizzlies to trade one of their three first round picks, likely the 25th or 28th selections.  I believe the Grizzlies could select Patrick Patterson with their 12th pick as well, although I think they really want to add a solid perimeter shooter if they can at #12.

If Minnesota can in fact select Wesley Johnson, Patrick Patterson, and Damion James with their three first round picks then they have had a heck of a draft and the start of a great young team.
