1. Cavaliers (via Clippers) - Kyrie Irving PG Duke
Derrick Williams is a real possibility here, but Irving is still the favorite to be taken No. 1. I'd like to get daring and put Williams No. 1, but just can't do it.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
2. Timberwolves - Derrick Williams F Arizona
All indications are that the Wolves are still trying like heck to move this pick, but regardless of where it ends up, Williams and Irving are nearly a lock to go 1 & 2 in this draft. There is some talk of Enes Kanter jumping up to No. 2 for Minnesota, and while it would be funny to see them skip Williams, I don't even think David Kahn has it in him.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
3. Jazz (via Nets) - Brandon Knight PG Kentucky
Knight and Enes Kanter look like they're going to go third and fourth, although the order is clearly up for debate. I think the Jazz have more needs at point guard than in the middle, so I'm simply going with Knight due to his position. Their back up point guards are Earl Watson and Ronnie Price, while starter Devin Harris rarely seems to be healthy.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
4. Cavaliers – Enes Kanter C Turkey
The Wizards really seem to want Kanter, but it's starting to sound like he won't be there at No. 6. The Cavs have big-man needs and Kanter appears to be the best one in the draft. If they can't swing a deal to move up to the No. 2 pick, taking Kanter at No. 4 makes sense. He's got a great personality and would be a PR win as well, although a lack of wingspan should hurt him in the shot-blocking department.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
5. Raptors – Bismack Biyombo F/C Congo
This is one of those late moves I don't feel great about, but am going with anyway. The Raptors and Bryan Colangelo seem to be on a defensive kick and Biyombo is one of the best defenders in this draft, if not the best. This one could be a stretch, but I've read enough reports of Colangelo being enthralled with the big man that I'm going with it. He's got points/rebounds/blocks triple-double potential and a relatively simple buyout from his professional team, clearing the way for him to play in the NBA once the lockout issues are resolved.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
6. Wizards – Jan Vesely SF Czech Republic
Vesely's stock is on the rise and the Wizards had a disaster at SF with Rashard Lewis and Josh Howard last season. If they can't get Kanter, Vesely looks like the next best option for the Wiz.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
7. Kings - Kawhi Leonard SF San Diego State
The Kings have been struggling to find a suitable small forward since they let Gerald Wallace go and Leonard appears to fit a big need. The biggest question is whether or not Leonard is really worth the No. 7 pick. We'll find out in nine days.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
8. Pistons – Tristan Thompson PF Texas
Reports surfaced on Wednesday that the Pistons were going to target Thompson so I moved him up. Besides, the Pistons don't need a SG nearly as much as they could use a solid big man. The Bucks, Suns and Rockets are also in the mix for him.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
9. Bobcats – Kemba Walker PG UConn
Walker became a household name during the NCAA tournament and while his size is an issue (6-feet, 180 pounds), plenty of other small men have succeeded in today's NBA. Think Brandon Jennings. Walker's stock has taken a hit over the last few weeks, but he still appears to be destined for the Top 10. I'm still not sure Charlotte makes a ton of sense with D.J. Augustin around and a hole at center, but then again, DJA's not exactly a Tier 1 NBA point guard, either. There is also chatter out there that if the guy the Bobcats are targeting is gone, this pick will be dealt.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
10. Bucks – Marcus Morris PF Kansas
The Bucks are deep at most positions but could use an upgrade at power forward. Morris is ready for the NBA, is going to be a nice rookie and reminds me a bit of Greg Monroe, who was a very pleasant surprise this season. While the Bucks also have their eye on other players, like Klay Thompson, there may not be a safer pick at 10 than Morris.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
11. Warriors – Klay Thompson G/F Washington State
The latest reports from Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter are that the Bucks and Warriors both want Thompson badly, and are also two teams that wouldn't mind drafting big man Jonas Valanciunas, even if they have to wait two years for him. I don't see Marcus Morris falling past the Bucks at 10, so despite the Warriors need for bigs, I'm going to give them Thompson right here. Thompson is expected to have some shot selection issues early in his career.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
12. Jazz – Jimmer Fredette G BYU
Fredette could easily end up going in the Top 10, but I'm leaving him with the Jazz. He'd be a great fit in Utah after attending BYU and it's hard to imagine the Jazz passing on him. He'll sell tickets, hit shots and help solidify their shaky core of point guards – if he's still on the board.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
13. Suns – Iman Shumpert PG Georgia Tech
Shumpert's stock has been on a crazy rise lately and the team I've seen him most associated with is the Suns. He's also been linked with the Knicks, Timberwolves and Nuggets, but I've got a feeling the Suns are ready to pull the trigger at 13, where he'd likely be the third-string point guard behind Steve Nash and Aaron Brooks.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
14. Rockets – Jonas Valanciunas C Lithuania
He's a skinny center, built in the mold of Andris Biedrins, but is also possibly the best one in the draft. He could be a steal this late, although it now appears that he'll sit out at least next season, and possibly the following one as well. If Valanciunas was a lock to play in the NBA next season, he'd easily be going Top 10. But if any team in this draft needs a center, it's the Rockets, and getting Valanciunas this late could be the steal of the draft.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column

15. Pacers – Alec Burks SG Colorado
Burks is a true shooting guard and one of the best in the draft. While he may not fall this far, could be groomed as a starter for the Pacers, who have long had a hole at shooting guard. If Jimmer is still on the board, they're going to give him a close look too. And if Burks does happen to fall this far, the Pacers will likely have a steal on their hands. If Burks is gone, Marshon Brooks is probably their guy.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
16. Sixers – Nikola Vucevic PF/C USC
The Sixers and Knicks both reportedly want this kid, the biggest player in the draft, and while I'm not completely sold that it's happening, I'm putting him in Philly. He averaged 17 points, 10 boards and 1.3 blocks for USC last season, and is one of the true wild cards in this draft.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
17. Knicks – Marshon Brooks SG Providence
Brooks' stock is rising and he's 22 years old after averaging 24.6 points, seven rebounds and 2.5 assists, while finishing seventh in the nation in scoring at Providence. He's a silky smooth scorer and given the fact the Knicks are said to be looking for an alternative starting SG to Landry Fields, Brooks could be the answer. They're also going to be looking at a big man here.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
18. Wizards (via Hawks) – Jordan Hamilton SF Texas
Like Alec Burks, Hamilton is a smooth scorer and plays best when he's the main cog in a team's offense. That means it could take him a while to get going in the pros, but he might be the best pure shooter in the draft, and his quick release will be a key to his success in the pros. The Wizards really struggled at small forward last season and could use another option besides Rashard Lewis and Josh Howard.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
19. Bobcats (via Hornets) – Markieff Morris PF Kansas
Morris will be an undersized power forward, but can shoot it well enough that he might be able to play some small forward in the NBA. He's also been killing it in workouts and may not be around at No. 19. The Bobcats really need a center, but aren't likely to find one at 19.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
20. Timberwolves (via Grizzlies) – Chris Singleton SF Florida State
Singleton has the potential to be another Josh Smith or Gerald Wallace, which I'm pretty sure, would make David Kahn happy. I think he's another potential steal for such a late pick in this draft, although with Kevin Love and Michael Beasley around, the Wolves aren't exactly hurting at forward. If Kahn has come to the realization that Darko Milicic is not actually "manna from heaven," Donatas Motiejunas could easily be the pick here.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
21. Trail Blazers – Kenneth Faried PF Morehead State
Faried has a great nose for the ball, is one of the best rebounders in college history and will dive for loose balls without hesitation. Hustle is a word that best describes him and with all the Blazers problems with big men and their knees, Faried looks like the pick if he's still available.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
22. Nuggets – Donatas Motiejunas F/C Lithuania
Motiejunas surprisingly pulled out of last year's draft and then tore it up in the Italian league this season. He's a great shooter, both from the floor and beyond the arc, and appears to be one of the more NBA-ready players in the draft. He's had some good and some bad workouts lately, and is another wildcard in this draft. He could go much earlier than No. 21, but for now, that's where I'm slotting him. And with the Blazers running a continuous knee operation clinic for their centers, getting a healthy big man is probably a good idea.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
23. Rockets (via Magic) – JaJuan Johnson, F/C Purdue
Johnson was the best scorer in the Big Ten and was named the Big Ten Player of the Year. He averaged 20.5 points, 8.6 boards and 2.3 blocks per game and the Rockets could use another skilled big man to back up Luis Scola. They had good luck with Carl Landry out of Purdue a few years ago, and might go back to the Boilermakers for Johnson.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
24. Thunder – Nikola Mirotic PF Spain
This 6-10 big man can score, rebound, block shots and steal the ball, but the Thunder already have that guy with Serge Ibaka. However, Chad Ford believes the Thunder have already made a promise to him and they could certainly use more big bodies, which is good enough for me.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
25. Celtics – Reggie Jackson PG Boston College
Jackson showed an improved jumper last season and would make for a nice-sized point guard at 6-3. He has shown playmaking skills and is unselfish, while also able to play off the ball. The Celtics have many needs as one of the oldest teams in the league, but getting another guard who could play both spots makes sense. And it doesn't hurt that he played at BC, and there are rumors that the Celtics want him with this pick.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
26. Mavericks – Tobias Harris F Tennessee
The Mavs don't need guards or centers, nor do they really need forwards, either. Harris could easily go closer to No. 20, but would also be a potential steal this late. This seems like it would be a safe move for the champs. And with Chase Budinger not exactly a lock to start at small forward next season for the Rockets, they will also be giving him a close look at No. 23.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
27. Nets (via Lakers) – Kyle Singler F Duke
Singler is another guy who suddenly looks destined for the first round after a solid career at Duke. He's a bit of a tweener at the forward position, but the Nets could use a solid catch-and-shoot scorer. Whether Singler is one of those in the NBA remains to be seen, but Damion James and Travis Outlaw aren't exactly all-star small forwards for the Nets.

Steve Alexander's full Offseason Beat column
28. Bulls (via Heat) – Josh Selby SG Kansas
Selby has all kinds of potential but hasn't really lived up to the hype as of yet. The Bulls could use another shooting guard, although Selby's stock appears to be falling. The Bulls are set at most other positions, so taking Selby with the last pick of the first round seems like a good fit, if they believe he's the best shooting guard left on the board.

29. Spurs - Davis Bertans F/C Latvia
Bertans has size, athleticism and is just 18 years old. He can run the court and has a nice jumper, clocking in at 6-10, 210 pounds. Chad Ford thinks the Spurs have made a promise to take him here, and while that may not make the most sense with Tiago Splitter and DeJuan Blair wasting away on the bench, it would not be at all surprising.

30. Bulls - Darius Morris PG Michigan
This is a name that seems to be climbing up draft boards as a potential first-round sleeper. He averaged 15 points and nearly seven dimes at Michigan as a sophomore and would have time to figure things out while helping to back up Derrick Rose in Chicago.
