Expect Duncan, Mercer & Battie to go top 3 Thomas could go 4 , I don't
expect Denver to pass on Billups at 5, leaving Van Horn, Cato, Foyle, or
Daniels at 6.

I think Mercer & Van Horn would be 2 great building blocks with Walker. 
Foyle is a project but could be a good defensive & rebounding center, but
we would need to add a couple of outside scorer & a decent physical backup
(Andrew Declerq ?)

We would be fools to pass on Mercer who could be the next Grant Hill,
Scottie Pippen type 3.  Foyle is a reach at 3.
