Who's next year's #1 NBA Draft pick?

Posted Jun 30, 2009
I think North Carolina forward Ed Davis will be the No. 1 guy. Davis was a role player on the Tar Heels' national title team this past season, but he will be the Heels' go-to guy next season. Look for him to add 10 or so pounds and also get stronger, which will make him even more attractive to scouts. Davis would've been a lottery selection this year, but he wisely chose to return for his sophomore season. (Rivals.com)
