For our #1 pick in the entire draft due in 2009.

http://www.nbadraft.net/rankings/2009_positional.html

Here are the qualifications

1. Tall, athletic, rebounding and shot blocking

2. Not a gangster with personal issues and multiple illegitimate children

3. Not a soft Euro center

4. Avoid anyone with a scouting report that reads.."a year away from.." or "needs to be more focused" or "injury problems"

So with that said, here is the watch list...............

Blake Griffin from OU...not a true 7 footer, but great strength and fundamentals

Hasheem Thabeet...A solid 7-3, thin and weak, improving fundamentals and getting stronger
