This is where you will make your picks.
All you do is make them like this...
"With the (number) overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft, the (team name) select (player)".
So, something like this.
With the 62nd overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft, the Detroit Pistons select LaMarcus Aldridge [C, Texas].
Thank you, and enjoy.
Milwaukee Bucks are now on the clock, until 9:00 PM EST (6:00 PM PST).
Dallas Mavericks can make up their pick at anytime.

With the 1st overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft, the Toronto Raptors select: LaMarcus Aldridge PF/C from TexasHe will play C for the Raptors who lack a 'Banger" on the inside, Bosh has said he doesn't want to play C and now with Aldridge he wont have to and Charlie V can stay at SF and we will have one of the best young frontcourts in Basketball we still lack a true PG with Mike James more then likley leaving but this Draft is soo deep for PG's and it would be a reach at #1 for Marcus Williams or Randy Foye. So welcome to the Toronto Raptors LaMarcus Aldridge.

With the 2nd overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls select Tyrus Thomas F LSUI know the Bulls may be questioned about this one but we felt it was a good choice. Thomas has probably the most upside out of anyone in the draft. He is a major defensive presence. He got most of his rebounds and blocks out soley on his tremendous athletic ability. He has the ability to have a Ben Wallace type of presence on the defensive side. What people question is his offensive game. He is a decent ball handler for a guy his size, and has a soft touch on his shot. With a little coaching Thomas could be a consistent scorer to go along with his defensive game.

With the 3rd overall selection in the 2006 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Bobcats select: Andrea Bargnani [PF, Benetton Treviso (Italy)]. Bargnani is a prototypical player in terms of the physical attributes and raw skills that scouts salivate over in their search for the next young European (star?) big man. First his physical attributes. He's tall (easily a 7 footer), and a very fluid athlete that runs the court very well, has a very nice first step and is a decent leaper. He'll never be a power player in the paint, but his frame suggests that his bulk will be adequate for the power forward position in the future. He's going to be a match-up nightmare in his prime once he gets stronger, probably being the player most resembling a young Dirk Nowitzki that you've seen in a while. NBA people surely remember him because of the very solid performance he had in a preseason game against the Toronto Raptors, showing he can beat players off the dribble numerous times, even a very quick power forward like Chris Bosh.He's a welcome addition to Charlotte, and will give the Bobcats an outside shooter as well as a post presence next to Emeka Okafor.

The Portland Trailblazers have went over their time limit. With the 4th overall selection in the 2006 NBA Draft, the Orlando Magic select: Rudy Gay [SF, Connecticut]. Gay shows flashes of brilliance by making plays that are usually reserved only for the truly elite basketball players. His upside is unquestioned, the only doubt is how much of it he will actually be able to realize. A stat-stuffer with #1 overall pick upside, Gay is probably the most gifted and naturally talented physical specimen in the NCAA. It’s impossible to watch him and not get excited about his potential. Gay has a prototypical body and frame for a modern NBA small forward, with great size at 6-9 and terrific length. He has the height and wingspan of a power forward, but moves and gets up and down the court like a 6-3 guard. Defensively he has great potential thanks to his height, length and extremely quick feet. His attitude here is not what you would expect from a legit NCAA star, as he has plenty of hustle in him and has no problem getting dirty for the benefit of his team. Gay covers a ton of ground in a very short amount of time, which allows him to recover quickly and be a shot-blocking threat from the weakside. He has very good hands and a good knack for coming up with steals and blocks as well. He shows not only the ability to be a great defender but also the willingness to smother his man, although he can be inconsistent in this area too.He's a welcome addition to the Orlando Magic, and will step right in and contribute immediately.

With the 6th overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft the Minnesota Timberwolves select Brandon Roy G Washington. The Timberwolves take a very reliable player here and considered one of the safest picks in the draft. Roy has all the intangibles to be a succesful plyer in the league. He has the quickness and a good first step to beat his defenders to the hole. He can stop and pop the 15 ft jumper. He is a very good passer and looks for his teammates a whole lot instead of doing everything by himself. Also he is a good defender. With all of this being said how could you not pass him up. He will play the point in Minnesota to go along side McCants. By playing the point he will cause matchup problems on the defensive side of the ball. Welcome to Minnesota Brandon Roy.

With the 7th overall selection in the 2006 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Bobcats select: Patrick O'Bryant [C, Bradley]. O’Bryant is quickly emerging as the top true center prospect in the 2006 NBA Draft. His upside is immense, with a potent combination of length, strength, and athleticism. There are 7-footers stronger than O’Bryant and 7-footers quicker than O’Bryant, but very few that are both. He still has much work to do, both in the weight room and on the court, but the rate at which O’Bryant has improved over the past two seasons is very encouraging. The light bulb is very clearly going on, and that is more than you can say about plenty of big men who never truly get it. He will need to continue to polish his offensive game, work on his conditioning and give more consistent effort, but all the pieces are there for Patrick O’Bryant to develop into a very effective NBA big man within the next two years. Patrick O’Bryant has the type of body that will always attract NBA attention. O’Bryant is legitimately 7 feet tall, and has an outstanding frame. Despite already weighing in at 260 pounds, O’Bryant has plenty of room to add weight. While O'Bryant doesn't appear particularly athletic at first glance, he is that and more when you consider just how big he is.He posses a 7’5 wingspan and a 9’4 standing reach, freakish even for NBA standards.He'll be the starting center for the Charlotte Bobcats, and will be starting next to Emeka Okafor and Gerald Wallace.

I have the draft board for Houston, and with the 8th overall selection in the 2006 NBA Draft, the Houston Rockets select: Randy Foye [PG, Villanova]. A prototypical NYC-style combo guard, Randy Foye is considered one of the best pure scorers in college basketball. If deemed to have serious point guard potential for the NBA, Foye has excellent size for the position at 6-3. He is a very smooth athlete, possessing a couple of different gears he can go to, solid leaping ability, good strength and excellent body control in the lane. There’s no question that Foye is a fantastic college basketball player and a very likely candidate to carve out a niche in the NBA for a long time. The only question is what role that will be in, and therefore how highly do NBA teams picking in the 1st round value that in this draft. What teams will likely ask themselves is whether he can be a starter, and if so, at what position? His skills seem to be better suited for an excellent 6th man type who can come off the bench and put up points in a hurry without having to worry too much about running his team’s offense, but the extreme lack of legit point guards in this draft means that teams might decide to label him a playmaker and hope they can teach him how to run their offense and get everyone involved.

With 9th overall selection in the 2006 NBA draft, the Golden State Warriors select: Marcus Williams [ G, University of Conneticut] Yes, I know we have Baron Davis but I went by the BPA and Marcus Williams should have been a top 5 pick IMO. Williams is an outstanding penatrator with a decent outside shot and probably the best passer in college basketball. Easy pick here.

The New Orleans Hornets select... Ronnie Brewer SG Arkansas
We need an SG, and with Roy off the board, Brewer fits the bill. With Paul dishing and Green dunking, we have an excellent array of players.

With the 13th selection in the NBA Draft the Philadelphia 76ers select Mardy Collins PG, TempleThe Sixers have to start looking towards life after A.I. and they take Collins who is 6'6 and can truly play the one. He has excellent court vision and gave up less turnovers than the other PG's in this years draft class. He is just as NBA ready as Marcus Williams and he has the play making abilities comparable to any of them really. He's going to cause a lot of mismatches with his size and strength. It will be Collins and Iguodala who the team will be built around.

New Orleans sent their draft board, so with the 15th overall selection in the 2006 NBA Draft, the New Orleans Hornets select: Shelden Williams [FC, Duke]. Listed at 6-9 in shoes, Williams has average size for an NBA power forward, but makes up for that with his chiseled frame, warriors mentality and extremely long wingspan (rumored to be somewhere around 7-2). He will be able to hold his own in the paint immediately defensively and in terms of rebounding, and will do some damage offensively as well against weaker or softer opponents. He is a solid athlete that runs the floor extremely well and gets off the ground quickly to challenge shots, sky for rebounds and finish emphatically with powerful dunks.
