Randolph is seemingly Brandan Wright with a higher ceiling and a weaker body

Randolph is seemingly Brandan Wright with a higher ceiling and a weaker body. Was he the right pick at 14? In terms of "Best Player Available," yes, but when you already have a stronger, almost exact clone, it’s hard to see what is so great about this pick Hendrix is a good get at No. Although, a Darrell Arthur or a Mario Chalmers could’ve been nice at 20. Grade: DDetroit PistonsWalter Sharpe - 32nd OverallTrent Plaisted - 46th OverallDeron Washington - 59th OverallYou have to feel that Joe Dumars and the Pistons had success in this draft. Dumars had his own edition of “wheeling and dealing” on draft night, and ended up with a trio of prospects.

Dumars is a guy who will go out of his way and pick up a guy who could either be a great player, or a complete bust, and Sharpe is this year's edition. Smith, and is that a good thing? I wouldn’t think too highly of it. The Nuggets did get some cash and cap relief for the 20th pick, and, with the players that were there, it looked like they didn’t make too much of a mistake. Shan Foster is a decent shooter, but will be buried at the end of a deep bench, and is really nothing to write home about. Grade: DDenver Nuggets Sonny Weems - 39th OverallI haven’t seen too much of Sonny Weems, but he essentially seems like a poor man's J.R.

He gets one of the biggest sleepers in the entire draft in Hickson. Hickson has the ability to become a very good player, but he is raw. Jackson is another good pick who will be great off the bench as a sixth or seventh man in a few years. Kaun, while playing in Russia, should continue to develop his game, and could be an interesting prospect down the line.
