#1 Wiz - A: Wall was an obvious pick, but they picked up Hinrich, who should really be able to help Wall (by pushing him in practice, and even playing along side him at the 2), and also picked up a project C in Kevin Seaphin
#2 Philly - B: I think Turner was the right choice, it's just that I don't know how he's going to fit with Iggy. It'll be interesting to see what happens there over the next few weeks.
#3 NJ - B-: I really thought NJ would pull the trigger on a trade with this pick, or take Johnson and be confident that they'll get a big through FA. Now I'm not sure where they are.
#4 Minny - A: Wesley Johnson should fit this squad perfectly. They already have a big rotation of Big Al (who may be traded soon) and Kevin Love, but started Ryan Gomes at the 3 (if I'm not mistaken) for most games last year. Now, don't get me wrong, I like Gomes' game, but I don't think he's a starting 3 in this league. Johnson will probably start. Good pickup.
#5 Sactown - A: The only thing keeping this from an A+ is Demarcus' potential attitude problems, but I don't see that as that big of an issue. Especially not in the first few years. He's going to come in, shut-up, put the work in and try to prove people wrong at the get-go. He'll probably takeover the starting C from Sammy D. mid-way through the season (assuming Dalembert is still on the team).
