Okay so I read about the fantasy draft where all players are available so i decided to make my own. I'm gonna make the top ten picks of the first round now and keep adding to it. 

1. Chicago Bulls-Lebron James-This is unquestionable by any one, even the Kobe fans around the world. Lebron James has the ability to carry a franchise on his back and even lead a talentless franchise to the finals last year. He is a good passer, averaging 7.2 assists last year and is a good rebounder as well, averaging 8 rebounds last year.

2. Miami Heat-Kobe Bryant-Last year Kobe wouldn't have ranked so high on this list as I probably would have taken Wade over him. However, his transformation this year has made him jump up in my view of him. He began trusting his teammates more and passed more, along with being nicer to them and formed great chemistry with Pau Gasol. However, the one thing I still have against him was his lack of passing and poor shot selection in the NBA finals. 

3. Minnesota Timberwolves-Dwight Howard-This was a  tough decision to make between CP3 and D12, but I chose Dwight as it is true that big men win championships. Dwight was a monster on the rebounds, and had good shot blocking ability, and his scoring was good too. He can be a franchise player with his playing style.

4. Seattle Supersonics-Chris Paul-This was a no-brainer. It would either be Chris Paul or Dwight Howard at this pick, whoever didn't get picked already. As I said, big men win championships, but that being said, another important part is someone who can run the floor, like Chris Paul. Only a few bigmen have been able to win without a good floor runner. And Chris Paul led the league in assists and steals, proving he has a great passing skill and also plays good defense.

5. Memphis Grizzlies-Dwyane Wade-Despite Wade's injury problems last year, I chose him because of his all around game. He plays great defense and has been chosen to the All Defensive team before. He also has a great ability to get to the rim and score and a good jump shot now. But his most surprising ability is his passing ability. He averaged 7+ assists last year before the injury and has shown great leadership, leading his team to the Finals and winning.

6. New York Knicks-Tim Duncan-Even though Duncan is getting older, he is still playing at a high level, able to light up the scoring board at times and is always rebounding at a high level. His all around defense also makes him a great addition to any team. His attitude and sportsmanship is just a bonus.

7. Los Angeles Clippers-Carmello Anthony-His high scoring abilities make him a must have for any team and his rebounding is just getting better by the years. However, his attitude and his legal problems make him out of the top 6 in this draft. If he cleans up his act, he might get higher up.

8. Milwaukee Bucks-Deron Williams-I say Deron should make this list as even though he's not as good as his counterpart Chris Paul, he has a great passing ability and has the ability to score more than Chris Paul but because he has higher scoring teammates than Paul, his scoring numbers are down. He also is an overall better passer, as Chris gets alot of his assists of alley-oops, while Deron actually moves the ball more. However, Chris Paul's defense is unquestionably better.

9. Charlotte Bobcats-Chris Bosh-He is undoubtedly one of the better power forwards in this league. However, I kept him down as he is somewhat a weaker type of player and does get bullied around in the paint sometimes, like against the Magic in the playoffs, but he is still a good player.

10. New Jersey Nets-Allen Iverson-He definitely would have been higher up but because of his age, I kept him at 10th. He is still a quick guard and passes well along with a good all round game. His defense is great, and he has good shooting as well as the ability to drive to the rim.

This is my top 10 NBA Fantasy Draft. I'll keep making new ones. People, please give comments and feedback on this so I can make the next one better.
