| Chad Ford's 2007 Draft Board, Round 2 | ||||||
| TEAM | NAME | HT | WT | POS | SCHOOL | |
| 1 (31) | Seattle (from Memphis; Traded to Houston) | Carl Landry | 6-7 | 248 | PF | Purdue |
| Landry is a tough guy who gave Greg Oden all he could handle in the Big 10. He's a little undersized, but he's a bruiser. | ||||||
| 2 (32) | Boston | Gabe Pruitt | 6-4 | 170 | PG | USC |
| Great pick for the Celtics. Pruitt reminds me a little of Devin Harris and will be a good replacement for the departing Delonte West. He's a combo guard with a great jump shot and good athleticism. | ||||||
| 3 (33) | San Antonio (from Milwaukee) | Marcus Williams | 6-7 | 207 | SF | Arizona |
| Gifted small forward who excels in the midrange. If he buys into the Spurs' system and learns how to play defense, he could be a steal at this point in the draft. | ||||||
| 4 (34) | Dallas (from Atlanta) | Nick Fazekas | 6-11 | 225 | PF | Nevada |
| He's Dirk Nowitzki without the athleticism -- a fantastic shooter and a good rebounder. But he has slow, slow feet. | ||||||
| 5 (35) | Seattle (Traded to Boston) | Glen Davis | 6-9 | 290 | PF | LSU |
| The Celtics got this pick from the Sonics and land "Big Baby." Put him on the floor with Al Jefferson and you have a beefy frontline that can score. Nice pick. | ||||||
| 6 (36) | Golden State (from Minnesota; Traded to Charlotte) | Jermareo Davidson | 6-11 | 230 | PF | Alabama |
| He's an athletic big man who thinks he's a 2 guard. So Nellie is probably gonna love him. | ||||||
| 7 (37) | Portland | Josh McRoberts | 6-10 | 230 | PF | Duke |
| A good pick in the second round. McRoberts has an all-around game. He's not a go-to guy, but he is a good passer and rebounder. Kind of a Luke Walton type. | ||||||
| 8 (38) | Philadelphia (from New York through Chicago; Traded to Utah) | Kyrylo Fesenko | 7-1 | 270 | PF | Ukraine |
| He's an athletic big man who has dominated in the Ukraine. Could be one of those international steals down the road. At this point, it's worth the risk. | ||||||
| 9 (39) | Miami (from Sacramento through Utah; Traded to Indiana) | Stanko Barac | 7-1 | 235 | C | Bosnia |
| A face-the-basket big man who will likely be stashed overseas for quite a while. | ||||||
| 10 (40) | LA Lakers (from Charlotte) | Sun Yue | 6-9 | 205 | SF | China |
| A 6-foot-9 point guard who wowed scouts with his ability to handle the ball. In the NBA, he'll be a forward who plays a little like Luke Walton. | ||||||
| 11 (41) | Minnesota (from Philadelphia) | Chris Richard | 6-9 | 252 | C | Florida |
| He would've been a starter on almost any other college team in the country. Richard is worth a flier in the second round. He's big and has some athleticism. | ||||||
| 12 (42) | Portland (from Indiana; Traded to Philadelphia) | Derrick Byars | 6-7 | 220 | SF | Vanderbilt |
| The Sixers will get this pick from Portland. Byars is one of those guys who has all-around talent, but he's not great at any one thing. | ||||||
| 13 (43) | NO/Oklahoma City | Adam Haluska | 6-5 | 210 | SG | Iowa |
| A surprise here. He's a good athlete and he can score, but he couldn't even muster an invite to the Orlando predraft camp. The Hornets do need 2 guards, however. | ||||||
| 14 (44) | Orlando (Traded to Dallas) | Reyshawn Terry | 6-8 | 222 | SF | North Carolina |
| Very good value pick here. Terry has all the tools to be a good NBA player. He didn't put it together in college, but he might do it in the NBA. | ||||||
| 15 (45) | LA Clippers | Jared Jordan | 6-2 | 183 | PG | Marist |
| Jordan was one of the best pure point guards and one of the most enjoyable players in the draft. He lacks size and athleticism, but he has great court vision. Nice pick for the Clippers. | ||||||
| 16 (46) | Golden State (from New Jersey) | Stephane Lasme | 6-7 | 213 | PF | Massachusetts |
| Lasme is one of the better shot-blockers in the draft. He's a little undersized, but he makes up for it with length and athleticism. Another good fit for Golden State. | ||||||
| 17 (47) | Washington | Dominic McGuire | 6-9 | 220 | SF | Fresno State |
| He's an interesting prospect. He rebounds and block shots, but he needs to improve his shooting. Kind of a poor man's Andrei Kirilenko. | ||||||
| 18 (48) | LA Lakers | Marc Gasol | 7-0 | 265 | C | Spain |
| Pau Gasol's brother isn't a great prospect, but he does take up space in the middle. He probably stays in Spain for another year or two. | ||||||
| 19 (49) | Chicago (from Golden State through Denver, Boston, and Phoenix) | Aaron Gray | 7-2 | 271 | C | Pittsburgh |
| He's big. He put up good stats in college. But how does he keep up with the speed of the NBA? I'll give him this, though -- he may be the most polished low-post scorer on the Bulls roster, if he makes the team. | ||||||
| 20 (50) | Dallas (from Miami through LA Lakers) | Renaldas Seibutis | 6-6 | 185 | SG | Lithuania |
| Seibutis is a tough 2 guard who can score by slashing to the basket. He'll likely continue to develop in Greece. | ||||||
| 21 (51) | Chicago (from Denver) | JamesOn Curry | 6-3 | 190 | SG | Oklahoma State |
| He's an undersized 2 guard who likes to score the ball. Remind you of anyone else on the Bulls roster? | ||||||
| 22 (52) | Portland (from Toronto) | Taurean Green | 6-1 | 173 | PG | Florida |
| How many young point guards do the Blazers need? Somebody's getting traded and we don't think it's the two guys the Blazers spent millions to acquire in the last two drafts (Sergio Rodriguez and Petteri Koponen). | ||||||
| 23 (53) | Portland (from Chicago) | Demetris Nichols | 6-8 | 211 | SF | Syracuse |
| Nichols is one of the best shooters in the draft. He becomes the ninth player added to the Blazers roster today. Something's gotta give. | ||||||
| 24 (54) | Houston (from Orlando through Cleveland) | Brad Newley | 6-7 | 201 | SG | Australia |
| The Australian is a good scorer who excels at slashing to the basket. He's got the toughness, but will he come over? He is a star in Australia, but would be just another player in the NBA. | ||||||
| 25 (55) | Utah (Traded to Philadelphia) | Herbert Hill | 6-10 | 232 | PF | Providence |
| Hill is a good value pick here. John Hollinger's statistical system ranked him as the 16th-best college prospect player in the draft. | ||||||
| 26 (56) | Milwaukee (from Houston) | Ramon Sessions | 6-4 | 185 | PG | Nevada |
| A solid point guard who knows how to get to the basket. He impressed in workouts and may have a job if Mo Williams leaves this summer via free agency. | ||||||
| 27 (57) | Detroit | Sammy Mejia | 6-7 | 218 | SG | DePaul |
| A big swingman. Obviously the Pistons feel like they need to shore up their perimeter game. | ||||||
| 28 (58) | San Antonio (Traded to Toronto) | Giorgos Printezis | 6-9 | 210 | SF | Greece |
| The Spurs love international players and Printizes is one of the toughest. He'll stay in Greece and continue to develop for awhile. | ||||||
| 29 (59) | Phoenix | D. J. Strawberry | 6-5 | 199 | SG | Maryland |
| He can play both guard positions. Excellent defender. Obviously the Suns are getting tougher, but Strawberry really can't shoot. | ||||||
| 30 (60) | Dallas (Traded to Orlando) | Milovan Rakovic | 6-10 | 0 | PF | Serbia |
| He'll go back to Serbia, and the chances that we'll ever hear his name again are slim to none. | ||||||
