Slide over Gil

By Dan Rodgers

No surprise to anyone the Washington Wizards selected John Wall first over in the 2010 NBA Draft. We expect the Wiz to ask Gilbert Arenas to slide over and play shooting guard. If Gil does so, and does so well then the Wizards could surprise people and make the playoffs next season.

The 76ers followed by taking Evan Turner...oh gosh...another surprise...

Some pretty weird stuff going on though...Kentucky's Eric Bledsoe fell to Oklahoma City at 18 and James Anderson fell to number 20 (he was projected 10).

Teams are proposing trades like crazy...reports that Oklahoma City is looking to trade Eric Bledsoe to the Clippers and get Cole Aldrich from the Hornets. There are also reports of the Bulls trading players to the Wizards to relieve cap room.

If any of the trades actually go through or any other crazy stuff happens...I'll report back.

Wall to Washington?

By Dan Rodgers

Tonight is the NBA Draft and it is a fairly exciting time in the Baltimore/D.C. area because the Washington Wizards hold the first overall pick of the draft. John Wall is the projected first pick (even though I disagree), and many people think that the Wiz should take him.

I think a better pick would be Ohio State's Evan Turner. He won the award for the best college player, and I believe he is more NBA ready. Besides, Turner has great size (6' 7") and can play the guard or forward positions. That is a much more pressing need for them assuming Gilbert Arenas reverts back to pre-gunman form. Gil can be a great play-making point guard and even though Wall is a great player, he is going to realize that he can't run over, through, and past everyone in the NBA.

The 76ers have the second pick and what they plan to do is also very interesting. They have Jrue Holiday, a young rising point guard, and Andre Iguodala at the two position (he can play the three). Evan Turner would be a nice addition and upgrade over starting small forward, Jason Kapono. However, if the Wizards draft Turner, is Philly going to draft Wall just because he is the best available?

This should be an interesting night. ESPN @ 7:00 don't be late!
