Like you, I expect Wagner to fall (unlike in our mock where he went #2).

I don't think Skita will drop to #8 though.

I don't think Prince will be taken nearly that high.

I also think that Kareem Rush at #23 would be the steal of a lifetime.

I also like the pick of Taylor for the Hawks. I, for one, don't think we should take a PG at #37 as a rookie BU PG is not what this team needs. However, if I were to draft a PG at #37, Taylor is who I would look for. Not Tito Maddox!!

I could see the top 5 going that way but you know we disagree on Jefferies. I think Cleveland would take Skita under your scenario, with Wilcox going to the Knicks, Wagner going to the Clips, Hilario going to the Suns and Jefferies going to the Heat. If Woods goes to the Heat, I think Jefferies goes to the Wizards at #11.
