from ESPN Fantasy Games

Round 1
Team 1 LeBron James, Cle, SF
Team 2 Kobe Bryant, LAL, SG
Team 3 Kevin Garnett, Min, SF/PF
Team 4 Dirk Nowitzki, Dal, PF
Team 5 Dwyane Wade, Mia, PG/SG
Team 6 Shawn Marion, Pho, SF/PF
Team 7 Elton Brand, LAC, PF
Team 8 Gilbert Arenas, Was, PG
Team 9 Steve Nash, Pho, PG
Team 10 Allen Iverson, Phi, PG/SG
Our Take: No real stunners here, though the case can be made Marion deserves to go as high as second overall. Note that four point guard eligible players are in this top 10, a true sign assists and steals are always in demand. Who goes first? In general, it will be LeBron, but any number of players will likely go second.

Round 2
Team 10 Chris Paul, NO, PG
Team 9 Ray Allen, Sea, SG
Team 8 Paul Pierce, Bos, SG/SF
Team 7 Chris Bosh, Tor, PF/C
Team 6 Yao Ming, Hou, C
Team 5 Andrei Kirilenko, Uta, SF/PF
Team 4 Tim Duncan, SA, PF/C
Team 3 Chauncey Billups, Det, PG
Team 2 Jermaine O'Neal, Ind, PF/C
Team 1 Dwight Howard, Orl, PF
Our Take: Plenty of size goes off the board in the next 10, including annual first round stalwart Duncan, who slips to 17. Hey, staying healthy is a skill, too. It's possible half of the league's top 10 in blocks were second-rounders in this draft, so if you don't get blocks early, be careful. Team 10 now has two terrific point guards, while Team 2 is hoping for health.

Round 3
Team 1 Joe Johnson, Atl, PG/SG
Team 2 Amare Stoudemire, Pho, PF/C
Team 3 Vince Carter, NJ, SG
Team 4 Tracy McGrady, Hou, SG/SF
Team 5 Michael Redd, Mil, SG/SF
Team 6 Jason Kidd, NJ, PG
Team 7 Ron Artest, Sac, SF
Team 8 Lamar Odom, LAL, SF/PF
Team 9 Marcus Camby, Den, C
Team 10 Carmelo Anthony, Den, SF
Our Take: One of the most interesting picks in every draft will be the Amare one. Last year owners hedged their bets, and got only three games. There's no telling if his knee will ever be the same, so to be drafted this early, good luck. Nearly as stunning is the fall of McGrady, a first-rounder for years who can't stay healthy. Carter and Anthony score a ton, but aren't all-around studs.

Round 4
Team 10 Mehmet Okur, Uta, PF/C
Team 9 Gerald Wallace, Cha, SG/SF
Team 8 Rashard Lewis, Sea, SF
Team 7 Jason Richardson, GS, SG
Team 6 Stephon Marbury, NYK, PG
Team 5 Josh Smith, Atl, SG/SF
Team 4 Mike Bibby, Sac, PG
Team 3 Brad Miller, Sac, C
Team 2 Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Cle, C
Team 1 Kirk Hinrich, Chi, PG/SG
Our Take: Time for a few sleepers, as Okur and Wallace were fantasy monsters last season, but can they repeat? Okur has to contend with a healthy Carlos Boozer and Kirilenko. Clearly, a few teams needed centers. Miller and Ilgauskas are also fine choices. How about Marbury, normally a second rounder, falling this far? It makes sense. Bibby and Hinrich are probably smarter picks.

Round 5
Team 1 Baron Davis, GS, PG
Team 2 Andre Iguodala, Phi, SG/SF
Team 3 Boris Diaw-Riffiod, Pho, SF/PF
Team 4 Raymond Felton, Cha, PG
Team 5 Emeka Okafor, Cha, PF/C
Team 6 Ben Wallace, Chi, C
Team 7 Shaquille O'Neal, Mia, C
Team 8 Richard Jefferson, NJ, SF
Team 9 Carlos Boozer, Uta, PF/C
Team 10 Mike James, Min, PG
Our Take: Two of the most well-known big men in the game, but each with serious fantasy flaws, show up in this round. Ben Wallace switches teams, and remains a big rebounder and shotblocker, but forget about the scoring. And Shaq will never hit his free throws, nearly locking up a last place finish for his fantasy owners in the category. The Suns' Diaw loses his center eligibility, for now, otherwise he might have gone a few rounds earlier.

Round 6
Team 10 Antawn Jamison, Was, SF/PF
Team 9 Tony Parker, SA, PG
Team 8 Rasheed Wallace, Det, PF
Team 7 Andre Miller, Den, PG
Team 6 Emmanuel Ginobili, SA, SG
Team 5 Peja Stojakovic, NO, SG/SF
Team 4 David West, NO, PF
Team 3 Jason Terry, Dal, PG/SG
Team 2 Brandon Roy, Por, PG/SG
Team 1 Al Harrington, Ind, SF/PF
Our Take: Two members of the Hornets' frontcourt leave the draft board, and both seem nice value. Peja could score 20 points per game, he's a steal in round six. The first rookie is taken in Portland's Roy, but it's likely too early for him. Solid underrated players like Wallace and Miller consistently contribute to fantasy championships.

Round 7
Team 1 Jameer Nelson, Orl, PG
Team 2 Pau Gasol, Mem, PF/C
Team 3 Chris Webber, Phi, PF
Team 4 Deron Williams, Uta, PG
Team 5 Caron Butler, Was, SF
Team 6 Steve Francis, NYK, PG/SG
Team 7 Ricky Davis, Min, SG/SF
Team 8 Chris Kaman, LAC, C
Team 9 Zach Randolph, Por, PF
Team 10 Troy Murphy, GS, PF
Our Take: Some good risks slip down to this point. Can Webber stay healthy again and deliver 20-10? Can Randolph get back to that level? How long will Gasol be out of action? Francis has to contend with Marbury, but who knows, maybe he gets traded. Kaman saw big improvement in his stats and is a smart pick.

Round 8
Team 10 Corey Maggette, LAC, SG/SF
Team 9 Sam Cassell, LAC, PG
Team 8 Mike Miller, Mem, SG/SF
Team 7 T.J. Ford, Tor, PG
Team 6 Shane Battier, Hou, SF
Team 5 Luke Ridnour, Sea, PG
Team 4 Josh Howard, Dal, SG/SF
Team 3 Morris Peterson, Tor, SG/SF
Team 2 Samuel Dalembert, Phi, C
Team 1 Tyson Chandler, NO, C
Our Take: Assists become popular again, with Cassell, Ford and Ridnour going off the board. All come with question marks. Toronto's Peterson slips. Do yourself a favor and check out his numbers after the All-Star break. The round closes with the enticing Dalembert and Chandler, big men who can potentially block and rebound among the leaders, being picked.

Round 9
Team 1 Charlie Villanueva, Mil, SF/PF
Team 2 Richard Hamilton, Det, SG
Team 3 Larry Hughes, Cle, SG
Team 4 Nenad Krstic, NJ, PF/C
Team 5 Adam Morrison, Cha, SF/PF
Team 6 Luol Deng, Chi, SG/SF
Team 7 Chris Wilcox, Sea, PF/C
Team 8 Randy Foye, Min, PG/SG
Team 9 Wally Szczerbiak, Bos, SG/SF
Team 10 Darko Milicic, Orl, PF/C
Our Take: More youngsters join their fantasy teams, with rookies Morrison and Foye going, and former No. 2 overall pick Milicic heading to Team 10, who has constructed a terrific team. Team 1 begins the round with the traded Villanueva, entering a nice situation to score in the high teens. And apparently Hughes was unwanted until this round, despite the potential to lead the league in steals.

Round 10
Team 10 Raja Bell, Pho, SG
Team 9 Kyle Korver, Phi, SG/SF
Team 8 Stephen Jackson, Ind, SG/SF
Team 7 Bonzi Wells, Hou, SG
Team 6 Andrew Bogut, Mil, PF/C
Team 5 Rafer Alston, Hou, PG
Team 4 Ben Gordon, Chi, PG/SG
Team 3 Delonte West, Bos, PG/SG
Team 2 Jamaal Tinsley, Ind, PG
Team 1 Maurice Williams, Mil, PG
Our Take: At this point of drafts, owners are looking for contributors. Philly's Korver can hit a ton of threes. Indy's Jackson and the Bulls' Gordon can certainly score. New Rocket Wells will likely come off the bench, but could score. And there's no guarantee Alston, West and Tinsley start, or stay healthy, but they are good, late gambles.

Round 11
Team 1 Andres Nocioni, Chi, SF
Team 2 Drew Gooden, Cle, PF
Team 3 Mark Blount, Min, PF/C
Team 4 Marvin Williams, Atl, SF/PF
Team 5 Cuttino Mobley, LAC, SG
Team 6 Channing Frye, NYK, PF/C
Team 7 Darius Miles, Por, SF
Team 8 Speedy Claxton, Atl, PG
Team 9 Rudy Gay, Mem, SF/PF
Team 10 Hidayet Turkoglu, Orl, SG/SF
Our Take: Again, it's about the late sleepers with upside. The Knicks' Frye will be given every opportunity to play and put up numbers. Nocioni and Turkoglu could score in the teens and rebound a little, and Claxton might be Atlanta's starting point guard. Gooden and Miles aren't the sexy fantasy names they used to be, but they should be decent reserves.

Round 12
Team 10 Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Sac, SF/PF
Team 9 Tayshaun Prince, Det, SF
Team 8 Travis Outlaw, Por, SF/PF
Team 7 Paul Millsap, Uta, SF/PF
Team 6 Eddie Jones, Mem, SG/SF
Team 5 Zaur Pachulia, Atl, PF/C
Team 4 Kenyon Martin, Den, PF
Team 3 Brevin Knight, Cha, PG
Team 2 Bobby Simmons, Mil, SG/SF
Team 1 Nene, Den, PF/C
Our Take: Wow, remember when Kenyon Martin was a third rounder? A year ago Simmons was also in demand coming off his big Clipper season. Eddie Jones in the last round? Shareef? It's a new era. Millsap, by the way, was a second round draft pick who led NCAA in rebounding the last three years. If Boozer can't stay healthy, who knows? And Prince isn't a great all-around fantasy option, but he does score.
