The draft will go as follows...

[CeltsFan <celtsfan@rcip.com>]

1. Clippers - Mike Bibby;  They really seem to think they can resign Ike
Austin so another big man isn't needed considering who they have (Rogers,
Wright, Vaught).  And drafting an exciting young pg might be the best and
only way for the Clippers to compete in the LA market.

2. Grizzlies - Paul Pierce;  He can shoot the rock drive the basket and has
an all-star atittude.  If they had not signed Reeves to that huge contract
Olowakandi would be there man.  They could also trade out of this spot.

3. Nuggets - Michael Olowokandi; With some time he could be the best player
taken in the draft.  A perfect fit...

4. Raptors - Robert Traylor;  They lack a strong inside force, this should
help.  Look for them to deal Camby and Christie and the last minute to move
up. And take Olowokandi.

5. Warriors - Antawn Jamison;  Stock has been falling but how can they pass
on the college player of the year.  Will take Traylor if he is available.

6. Dallas - Raef LaFrentz;  Defensive and rebound specialist that could be
a great complement to Finley and Bradley.

7. Kings - Larry Hughs; Maybe the best player of next years draft could be
best scorer in this draft.  Will fit in great with the Kings style and with
no Mitch.  Will see some time at pg.

8. Sixers - Nazr Mohammod;  Defensive player who will not command a lot of
shots that Allen Iverson is not willing to part with.

9. Bucks - Keon Clark - Best big man available at this pick.  A work in
progress but could pan out in a few.

10. Celtics - Al Harrington -  Pitino is very hard to figure out but all of
this talk about wanting to win now makes you think he is going to trade up.
