Some don't see it as a deep draft. Others think it's very very deep. Boston is in a position to care about which. They've looked at half a dozen players they expect to see available at the 10 and 11 picks, but may not still be there when they pick again at #21. This includes Brendan Haywood, Loren Woods, Zach Randolph, Joseph Forte and Omar Cook.

With the draft less than one month away, most draft experts are still saying that there is no sure pick amongst the crop. That means that there is a risk for even the first overall pick, and an even bigger risk for the Bulls' #4. Writes the Chicago Tribune's Chris King, "Since 1980, the fourth spot has not been kind. The No. 4 selection has produced only three All-Stars. However, out of the 21 No. 1 overall selections, 16 players were All-Stars at least once in their careers. But only eight of 21 No. 2 overall picks made the All-Star team."
