http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/draft2006/insider/columns/ story?columnist=ford_chad&page=MockDraft-round2 The second round is a crapshoot for everyone, including prognosticators. So take this as an indication of what teams might be thinking and who they might have to choose from. 31. Portland Trail Blazers Damir Markota With their third pick in the draft, the Blazers grab an international kid they can stash in Croatia a few years. 32. Houston Rockets Daniel Gibson Gibson was once considered a top-five prospect and could still have a Ben Gordon-like impact on the game. 33. Atlanta Hawks Yotam Halperin Halperin would become Israel's first NBA player. The Hawks need a steady point guard and Halperin's stellar play in the Euroleague indicates he could come in and play some minutes immediately. Think a better-shooting Beno Udrih. 34. Los Angeles Clippers Joel Freeland Freeland could sneak into the first round with Phoenix or Portland, but it's been the Clippers who have been following him since his grocery-bagging days in England. A good pick for the future. 35. Toronto Raptors Dee Brown The Raptors need help at the point and Brown is one of the most experienced point guards in the draft. He has incredible speed and plays with his heart on his sleeve. But is he too small to be anything more than the next Earl Boykins? 36. Minnesota Timberwolves Leon Powe The Timberwolves could use some nastiness in the paint and Powe has that in abundance. He can be a devastating low-post scorer and rebounder when he's healthy. The fact that he's had two ACL surgeries is the only reason he's not a mid-first round pick. 37. Minnesota Timberwolves Hassan Adams While the Wolves are at it, adding a super athlete like Adams adds to the team's overall toughness. Adams can guard three positions, which makes him a great asset. If he ever learns to shoot, Trenton Hassell will be out of a job. 38. Golden State Warriors P.J. Tucker I don't know how excited to get about a 6-foot-4 power forward, but his toughness is something the Warriors desperately lack. 39. Milwaukee Bucks Will Blalock He has all the tools to be a steal for Milwaukee. He's tough, fast and athletic and he's a legit point. Adding Blalock should free them up to move Mo Williams this summer. 40. Seattle SuperSonics Josh Boone Boone made a mistake by staying in the draft. Luckily, the Sonics love big projects. Just ask Robert Swift and Johan Petro. 41. Orlando Magic Mardy Collins The Magic still need a big guard to put in the backcourt for defense, and Collins is a steal here. His lack of athleticism hurt his individual workouts, but the kid knows how to play. 42. Cleveland Cavaliers Paul Davis Davis could go much higher, but this is a great landing spot if it happens. With Drew Gooden set to test free agency, the Cavs could use another big guy who can rebound and stretch the defenses with an 18-foot jumper. 43. New Orleans/Okla. City Hornets Marcus Vinicius Vieira de Souza He's a hard one to figure out, but don't expect him to slide past here. The Hornets have been in love with de Souza for a while and, in a few years, could use his size and shooting ability. 44. Orlando Magic James Augustine The Magic add a utility forward who can rebound, block shots and step out and hit the 18-foot jumper. He's going to be quietly effective as a role player in the league. 45. Indiana Pacers Paul Millsap College basketball's best rebounder goes to a team that's looking to shore up its toughness in the paint. 46. Utah Jazz Mike Gansey The Jazz don't get J.J. Redick, but they get the next best thing. Gansey can shoot as well as Redick and may be a little more athletic. Somewhere Jeff Hornacek is smiling. 47. Utah Jazz Allan Ray Another great pickup for the Jazz. Ray is an undersized two guard who can shoot the lights out and slash to the basket. 48. Washington Wizards Ryan Hollins He's athletic and he can block shots. That's all the Wizards are looking for this low in the draft. 49. Denver Nuggets Steve Novak Novak's dead-eye shooting will be a welcome addition to the Nuggets. Now, if they could just find a two guard. 50. Charlotte Bobcats David Noel Look for the Bobcats to dial in the UNC connection again with the player rated as the best athlete in the draft. He's probably more of a defensive guy right now, but his skills are developing. 51. Los Angeles Lakers Lior Eliyahu Another player from Israel in the same draft. The Lakers will leave him over in Israel and pray that he develops into the next Andrei Kirilenko. 52. Los Angeles Clippers Vladimir Veremeenko The Clippers continue to stash players overseas. Veremeenko has solid stats in Russia, but he looks like a tweener in the pros. 53. Seattle SuperSonics Renaldo Balkman Balkman's energy, athleticism and defense could give the Sonics a new look. 54. New Jersey Nets Kevin Pittsnogle The big guy can really shoot the 3, which will be nice for the Nets. But will he rebound or guard anyone? 55. Cleveland Cavaliers Taj Gray Gray has great energy and good athleticism. He's still raw, but he helps fulfill a need if Drew Gooden goes. 56. Toronto Raptors Denham Brown GM Bryan Colangelo is contractually obligated to draft players from Canada. Just kidding. 57. Minnesota Timberwolves Kosta Perovic Big guy got lots of love three years ago. Now, despite his improvement, no one remembers his name. This is a great deal for Minnesota if they can get him. 58. Dallas Mavericks Louis Amundson The Mavs will love his energy and athleticism. He's an Avery Johnson-type of player. 59. San Antonio Spurs Juan Jose Barea He is super speedy, can score in bunches, and in Portsmouth, proved he could run a team. 60. Detroit Pistons Kenny Adeleke The Pistons will look for a project that could eventually replace Big Ben someday. Adeleke would be a good fit. -- 生活 就是要浪费在美好的事物上 --
