Early thoughts on the 2010 NBA Draft

Well, it's true that the idea of the NBA draft has crossed my mind. It's very early indeed, and the Nuggets should be playing into June so I'm aware that we have other things to look forward to. However, I am bored and so I went over to nbadraft.net to take a look at some early mock drafts. Aside from the fact that the LWolves, Grizzlies and Thunder have a combined 12 of the 60 picks (1/5) I noticed that this is the year the Nuggets can swap picks with the Clips. That's all well and good. I'm looking at some of the names that the site has projected to go in the second round and I was amazed to find my boy Lance "Born Ready" Stephenson in the second round, right around where the Nuggies are drafting. I fully expect him to get into the first round. If not though, I prithee that the Nuggets take him. He'd be a great chip and could make JR expendable if need be.
I also have found 2 other guys of extreme interest for this team:
Luke Harangody = Linas Kleiza 2.0
and the guy that perhaps most intrigues me that could be there: Renardo Sidney. 6'10, 275 lbs. That would certainly be some size.
Write respectfully of your SB Nation community and yourself.

Man I love Harangody (full on homo)
That dude is such a hard worker and has a definite future in the league. I hope we can draft him.
Yeah well according to nbadraft.net, he’ll be there. I’d rather they go after Sidney though, but I know that dude’s attitude and work ethic has a lot of questions. He could be Eddy Curry 2.0 for all i know.
Oh Sidneys that dude from Texas huh?
The dude that droped a ton of weight. Yeah I was watching some SC highlights of him last night and he looked like a beast. Either way, we have to go with a PF/C.

I'm under the impression he is at Miss. St?
but i’m far from knowledgeable about college basketball…i haven’t watched it in years
dejuan blair 2010
mac koshwal of depaul could be the player every team will regret not taking. he is a junior and could return for his senior season. he has a foot injury and should be ready to go for the start of the big east season. this player can become a combination of dwight howard and tim duncan if he stays in school for 4 years.
pick up a calf every day pretty soon you will be picking up a cow
Do you think we can trade our second rounder for Pekovic unless we already traded it away?
Unless you’re the Spurs, picks in the 50s are useless. Pekovic is a big doing pretty good in Europe/Russia

Yah
They talk about him a good deal at Canis Hoopus. I just was thinking they were confusing him with Pavlovic or the late Petrovic before I looked up Pekovic and found that he’s doing pretty good. Not Linas Kleiza good, but still good.
Anybody else thinks that Omri Casspi reminds them of a skinnier version of Kleiza? However, I think Omri will turn out to be a bit better, and he seems enthusiastic about playing in the NBA, unlike Kleiza.

bruising power forward
What we need to get in the draft next year is someone who can eventually replace Kenyon.
I’m not big on draft prospects but someone along the lines of Gani Lawal, Damian James, DeMarcus Cousins, Dion Thompson or Yancy Gates for Cinci. ANyone know if getting one of those guys would be realistic without any first round picks?
