Welcome to the 2006 NBA Draft Lottery! There is a lot of anticipation for 13 teams tonight as they find out just where they will be selecting in the 2006 NBA Rookie Draft.
But before we get to the lottery, lets show the draft order before the lottery, breaking down the teams with the best and worst chances to win the first overall pick.

Now lets take it to ESPN Draft Expert Chad Ford to discuss some of the more notable prospects in this years class.
If the Sonics win again, I'm going to impale colts guy
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

Thank you, now I don't think anyone can say there is a favorite player for the #1 overall pick much like there was with Chris Paul last year, but this draft still has a lot of talent at the top. The first guy that I'm going to speak about is LaMarcus Aldridge.
Oh LaMarcus, come home to Portland where you belong!

Aldridge is a 6'11 240 lb power forward out of Texas. Many would probably consider him the best big man in this class.
Plus: Aldridge is a very skilled offensive player. He's very smooth in the post and can back you down or face you up. He also has a good midrange game, especially for an incoming rookie. He is also fairly athletic and can run the floor for you.
Minus: Many have questioned his toughness, may be a little soft and will never dominate the boards because of that. He will have some hard nights against the big bodies in the NBA.

Rudy Gay is a 6'8 220 lb small forward from the University of Connecticut.
Plus: Possesses elite athleticism. Can run and jump out of the gym. Can do everything well, has an outside game, can get to the rim, can pass the ball. A tough defend because of his good size and elite physical gifts.
Minus: Shot selection is a question mark. While he can do everything well, he doesn't do anything great. Aside from his elite athleticism doesn't have any part of his game that really sets him apart.
Still listening to offer for Mihm, Odom and Redd.
2013-1014 is the season the Pelicans fanbase grows!!!!

Brandon Roy is a 6'6 215 lb shooting guard out of Washington.
Plus: Roy possesses excellent all around skills. Possibly the best all around player in this class. Very fundamentally sound and doesn't make a lot of mistakes. Shoots the ball very well from all over the court. Has point guard handles. Quiet, but a good leader on the floor.
Minus: Like Gay, does everything well but nothing too great. Not an elite level athlete. Will never be a lock down defender.
Sorry I had to...
Again, 10, 11, or 12 come talk to me about trading out of the lottery.
If Knicks hit with my pick, I'm gonna impale Coltsguy too

I'm looking for various things as well. If my pick doesn't hit the top 3 I'll probably be trading out of it as well.
Oh this sucks... I just realized by draft pick is going to take up all my cap room. ROFL. This situation is just hilarious here in Portland. FIRST PICK HERE I COME!
jeez at least buy him dinner first....
looking for a sg with good defense, doesnt turn the ball over, and can steal

Rajon Rondo is a 6'1 171 lb point guard from the University of Kentucky.
Plus: Lightning quick with the ability to get around anyone. Has all the skills you would want in your point guard. He's a floor leader and an excellent ball handler and passer. Great finisher around the rim.
Minus: Lacks a real outside game. Can play a little to fast at times which forces him to get out of control.
You mean, Larry Hughes?
