A very explosive PG, that works hard and plays big for a small guard.

 

7. Golden State Warriors - Stephen Curry (PG) Davidson

15. Detroit Pistons - Austin Daye (SF) Gonzaga

$1,318,920

A great point guard and leader, and is Utah Jazz type player, with Maynor and Williams will be a great PG tandem.

 

21. New Orleans Hornets - Darren Collison (PG) UCLA

$1,266,120

The Hornets needed to give some attention on getting another backup PG, a bit of a surprise they did it here and with Collison, but he'll be solid off the bench.

 

22. Portland Trailblazers (From Dallas)- Victor Claver (PF) Pamesa Valencia

$1,215,480

He'll stay overseas to develop, but a solid offensive player, that needs to work on being a PF in the NBA.

 

23. Sacramento Kings (From Houston)-  Omri Casspi (SF) Maccabi Tel Aviv

$1,167,000

27. Memphis Grizzles (From Orlando) - DeMarre Carroll (F) Missouri

$1,009,680

A big surprise they took him at 27, probably would've been around at 36. He can play both forward spots, provides alot of energy.

 

28. Minnesota Timberwolves (From Boston)-  Wayne Ellington (SG) North Carolina

$1,003,560

One of the best shooters in the draft, has solid athleticism, and shot fit in well with the T'Wolves.

 

29. New York Knicks - Toney Douglas (G) Florida State

$996,240

His stock probably rose the most in the draft process, good offensive player, and defender. Probably will play similar to Nate Robinson's role, if they let him go.

 

30. Cleveland Cavaliers - Christian Eyenga (G/F)  Congo

$989,040
