The 2010 Prospects



It's never (ever, ever) too early to take a look at next years crop of NBA prospects. Unlike this year which was dominated by guards, next year is all about the bigs. Lets assume the same teams are in the lottery next year. Here's what it might look like.

1 Kings - John Wall, PG
2 Wizards - Greg Monroe, PF
3 Clippers - Donatas Motiejunas, PF
4 Thunder - Ed Davis, PF
5 T-Wolves - Derrick Favors, PF
6 Grizzlies - Cole Aldrich, C
7 Warriors - Al-Farouq Aminu, SF
8 Knicks - Willie Warren, PG/SG
9 Raptors - Craig Brackens, PF
10 Bucks - Xavier Henry, SG
11 Nets - John Henson, SF/PF
12 Bobcats - Deven Ebanks, SF
13 Pacers - Kemba Walker, PG
14 Suns - Paul George, SF

Of course the final standings will be different, new top prospects will emerge over the course of the NCAA season but given what we know today look for power forwards, not point guards to dominate next years lottery.
