Chad Ford's 2007 Draft Board, Round 2
PK(OVR)TEAMNAMEHTWTPOSSCHOOL
1 (31)Seattle (from Memphis; Traded to Houston)Carl Landry6-7248PFPurdue
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)BostonGabe Pruitt6-4170PGUSC
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 Williams6-7207SFArizona
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 Fazekas6-11225PFNevada
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 Davis6-9290PFLSU
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 Davidson6-11230PFAlabama
He's an athletic big man who thinks he's a 2 guard. So Nellie is probably gonna love him.

7 (37)PortlandJosh McRoberts6-10230PFDuke
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 Fesenko7-1270PFUkraine
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 Barac7-1235CBosnia
A face-the-basket big man who will likely be stashed overseas for quite a while.

10 (40)LA Lakers (from Charlotte)Sun Yue6-9205SFChina
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 Richard6-9252CFlorida
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 Byars6-7220SFVanderbilt
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 CityAdam Haluska6-5210SGIowa
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 Terry6-8222SFNorth 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 ClippersJared Jordan6-2183PGMarist
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 Lasme6-7213PFMassachusetts
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)WashingtonDominic McGuire6-9220SFFresno 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 LakersMarc Gasol7-0265CSpain
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 Gray7-2271CPittsburgh
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 Seibutis6-6185SGLithuania
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 Curry6-3190SGOklahoma 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 Green6-1173PGFlorida
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 Nichols6-8211SFSyracuse
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 Newley6-7201SGAustralia
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 Hill6-10232PFProvidence
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 Sessions6-4185PGNevada
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)DetroitSammy Mejia6-7218SGDePaul
A big swingman. Obviously the Pistons feel like they need to shore up their perimeter game.

28 (58)San Antonio (Traded to Toronto)Giorgos Printezis6-9210SFGreece
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)PhoenixD. J. Strawberry6-5199SGMaryland
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 Rakovic6-100PFSerbia
He'll go back to Serbia, and the chances that we'll ever hear his name again are slim to none.
