Hoops: Where will Jack go??

Well, it should be an interesting night for Jarrett Jack as well as BJ Elder, Will Bynum and Luke Schenscher. Anywhere from 1 to 4 Jackets could be drafted. Personally I see no more than 2 getting drafted, while I see all of them signing free agent contracts soon after.


As for Jack, I have analyzed NBA team needs, looked at the articles on his workouts, and I've come up with a breakdown on odds as to where he ends up. Of course no doubt a bunch of picks get swapped at showtime..........


1... 0% ...Milwaukee
2... 0% ...Atlanta
3... 0% ...Portland
4... 0% ...New Orleans
5... 0% ...Charlotte
6... 0% ...Utah
7... 0% ...Toronto
8... 0% ...New York
9... 0% ...Golden State
10.. 5% ...LA Lakers (look for lots of pick-swapping w/Phil Jackson)
11.. 6% ...Orlando (S.Francis is better at SG; is J.Nelson the future?)
12.. 3% ...LA Clippers (S.Livingston in the wings here)
13.. 10% ...Charlotte (likely to take Deron Williams early)
14.. 14% ...Minnesota (they are trying to ditch Sam Cassell)
15.. 4% ...New Jersey (someone needs to backup Jason Kidd)
16.. 17% ...Toronto (buds w/Bosh, but they need a center worse then a PG)
17.. 9% ...Indiana (need a better backup for Jamal Tinsley)
18.. 4% ...Boston (reports they like foreign PG Roko Ukic more than Jack)
19.. 12%...Memphis (Jack makes sense here, but they need a center also)
20.. 0% ...Denver (need a 2G, not PG)
21.. 0% ...Phoenix (can you say NBA MVP Steve Nash?)
22.. 0% ...Denver (see pick #20)
23.. 3% ...Sacramento (will they pickup Bobby Jackson's option?)
24.. 3% ...Houston (meet John Barry? Don't think so)
25.. 4% ...Seattle (about to lose Antonio Daniels to free agency?)
26.. 0% ...Detroit
27.. 4% ...Utah (they need a PG bad)
28.. 0% ...San Antonio
29.. 2% ...Miami (get a great PG, move Wade to the 2-spot, watch out)
30.. 0% ...New York
