Observations:
It is clear that there is a depth of solid centers in this draft and picks 7-14 could go a number of ways depending on which team values which center high. I could easily see Monroe picked high or slip down to the late lottery (same for Udoh, Whiteside, Orton, etc). Tough to make the call right now.
There are also some wing players that are very closely rated at this moment and could swing the draft if a team falls in love with one. I could see Pondexter going mid first round or slipping to the early second.
So there is my first mock draft of 2010. Please give me any comments and if I missed someone major, feel free to bust my balls.

OKC should try upgrade their front court...
so I think at least one center will be drafted. OKC would at least pick up Sanders with the 26th pick, if not the 21st pick.
Loud City Resident - Barring trade, I see this happening:
21: Seraphin, 26: Paul George, 32: Pittman or J. Jordan. 51: Greivis Vasquez
Concerning Bron, Bosh, and Boozer. I could care less.
