The Hornets, at No. 20, made a nice "futures commodities) selection in a 7-foot, 20-year-old from France, Alexi Ajinca.
He's thin as heck but he is also going to spend two or three years playing in Europe before he joins Charlotte. Eat a lot of rich food, big guy.
At 19 was a solid pick for Cleveland in J.J. Hickson, the power forward from North Carolina State and the eighth freshman tabbed. He's going to be very good, fairly quickly.
And, as I projected at No. 21, New Jersey bags the seventh Pac 10 kid in Ryan Anderson, one of the best shooters in this draft pool.
The Nets' fans should be giddy right now!
