New Orleans | Anthony Davis*** | C | Kentucky | 6' 10" | 200 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "Brow down when we come to town. Great feeling since everyone has screwed us in the past. Promising future. Good building block. Will protect the paint for the next decade and then some." - Tony DeVito | |||||||||
2 | ![]() |
Charlotte | Michael Kidd-Gilchrist*** | SF | Kentucky | 6' 7" | 185 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "I think MKG was a good one. He has a winning attitude and is very motivated." -Jenna | |||||||||
3 | ![]() |
Washington | Brad Beal*** | SG | Florida | 6' 3" | 177 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "I'm ecstatic! I thought Cleveland was going to trade to get Beal. Perfect compliment to John Wall. Besides Wall, which everyone knew we were going to pick, this is the first 1st round pick I'm excited about. D.C. loves this pick!" -Kyle Thompson | |||||||||
4 | ![]() |
Cleveland | Dion Waiters** | SG | Syracuse | 6' 3" | 214 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "Not happy. Really wanted Bradley Beal or Kidd-Gilchrist. Knew we were screwed when they were picked. Is he really better than Lillard if they really needed a scorer? Not exceedingly happy but give them the benefit of the doubt. Said the same thing about Weeden with the Browns but now I'm happy" -Tom & Jared Rogers | |||||||||
5 | ![]() |
Sacramento | Thomas Robinson* | PF | Kansas | 6' 9" | 230 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "An excellent pick! Surprised he didn't go number 2 and fell into our laps at 5. When I saw everyone else was getting picked I said they better pick him. It was no brainer for the Kings. I was going to yell, shout, cry, scream, and kick if they didn't pick Robinson. Expecting big things from the Kings this year. Hopefully the pieces are there to start being contenders in the west." -Steve Cruz | |||||||||
6 | ![]() |
Portland
![]() |
Damian Lillard | SG | Weber State | 6' 2" | 185 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "I love Lillard. He's athletic and can shoot. He was the 2nd best scorer in the NCAA. They needed a point guard and haven't had one since Damon Stoudamire, if you count him as one. He's 6'3" and a big guard. He actually said he wanted to play in Portland. That's tough because you can't normally find a lot of people who want to play there." -James, Portland | |||||||||
7 | ![]() |
Golden State | Harrison Barnes** | SF | UNC | 6' 8" | 210 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "Barnes was way better than the 7th pick in the draft. I think he's the 4th best player. Curse of the Warriors is over. Fact that he is a small forward is perfect because it's exactly what we need. Thank Cleveland for being terrible at taking players." -Lucas | |||||||||
8 | ![]() |
Toronto | Terrence Ross** | SG | Washington | 6' 5" | 180 | |||
9 | ![]() |
Detroit | Andre Drummond*** | C | UConn | 6' 10" | 251 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "Shocked that Andre Drummond fell to them. Very excited! Thought he's be taken by Golden State at 7. Great addition to the from court. Paired with Greg Monroe, they should be a force for years to come." -Adam Hertz | |||||||||
10 | ![]() |
New Orleans
![]() |
Austin Rivers*** | SG | Duke | 6' 4" | 175 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "I think he's a player that can score. Monty and Dell said before the draft that's what they needed and he's the definition of that. Real excited for the way it's going down in New Orleans. Between these two picks and Gordon, there's a good foundation to build on." -Wade Kreider | |||||||||
11 | ![]() |
Portland | Meyers Leonard** | C | Illinois | 7' 0" | 225 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "Very excited for Meyers Leonard. Didn't expect him to fall. Tallest guy in draft and most athletic big guy. Watched him at the combine and the dude looks like he is going to be really good. I was afraid they were going to take a power forward and move LaMarcus to center. Fulfills what Greg Oden could have been and feel that we are ready to compete after last year's disappointment." -Bill Donlon | |||||||||

Houston

Jeremy Lamb** | SG | UConn | 6' 4" | 165 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "It's blast off time!" -Chris Keane | |||||||||
13 | ![]() |
Phoenix | Kendall Marshall** | PG | UNC | 6' 4" | 195 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "It's a good pick. Start of a new generation of pass-first Suns point guards." -Joseph Sklar | |||||||||
14 | ![]() |
Milwaukee
![]() |
John Henson* | PF | UNC | 6' 10" | 200 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "Now that Henson recovered from his injured hand, he'll be swatting shots all over the Central division. Excellent value pick at 14. Wasn't on the Bucks board because they thought he'd be taken by Detroit at 9. Overall pretty happy and pleased with the pick." -Reid Otto | |||||||||
15 | ![]() |
Philadelphia | Moe Harkless*** | SF | St. John's | 6' 8" | 190 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "Absolutely despondent. If you are going to draft Harkless, trade down. Not the right value at 15. Need bigs. Stuck in mediocrity, which as we know is purgatory in the NBA. Need to be more creative and make moves." -Noah Marmar | |||||||||

Orlando | Andrew Nicholson | PF | St. Bonaventure | 6' 9" | 220 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "I feel confident about this pick. Even if Dwight leaves, Nicholson will be a scorer and fill in that void." -Eli Weinstein | |||||||||

21 | ![]() |
Boston | Jared Sullinger** | PF | Ohio State | 6' 9" | 261 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "If Garnett comes back, Sullinger will learn a lot from him. He'll be a great mentor like when he made Glen Davis cry" -Awab Habib | |||||||||

Fab Melo** | C | Syracuse | 7' 0" | 265 | |||

![]() |
Jared Cunningham* | SG | Oregon State | 6' 4" | 194 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "Going to be a good guard for us. Trading Zeller for three picks was a good trade. Gives us more offense. Little nervous about The Jet and Kidd leaving, but this helps settles those concerns." -Bradley Lewis | |||||||||
25 | ![]() |
Memphis | Tony Wroten*** | SG | Washington | 6' 5" | 206 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | He's going to do great with O.J. Mayo. Still not going to go far in playoffs but we're Memphis. We're the shiz." -Nick Gudzak | |||||||||

Miami | Arnett Moultrie | PF | Mississippi State | 6' 11" | 235 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "We came here for him. Very excited. A+. Stacking up now. Can afford to lose Hawes and Brand cause they are set down low." -Scott & Tom | |||||||||
28 | ![]() |
Oklahoma City | Perry Jones III** | PF | Baylor | 6' 11" | 225 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "I thought it was a really good pick; a steal. Really surprised he fell that far. Think he fits well." -John Lisella | |||||||||
29 | ![]() |
Chicago | Marquis Teague*** | PG | Kentucky | 6' 2" | 175 | |||
DraftSite's comments: | "I would have much rather had Doron Lamb. Why do we need a 4th point guard. Needed a guard that could shoot. Made no sense." -Joe Carbonara | |||||||||
