NBA Draft Recap:

With the NBA draft now over, let's take a look at the ACC players selected and where they are going:

12. Gerald Henderson (Duke) - Bobcats
It's probably not much of a surprise that Henderson was the first ACC player picked. And also not a surprise that the Bobcats took him. They seem to love keeping players from the state of North Carolina and I see Henderson being a good NBA player.

13. Tyler Hansbrough (UNC) - Pacers
It probably makes UNC fans mad to see their beloved Hansbrough taken one spot below a Dukie. There has been a lot of talk about the impact Psycho T will have in the NBA. I don't see this pick helping the Pacers all that much but they know they will get a guy who will work harder than anyone else.

16. James Johnson (Wake) - Bulls
James Johnson is a great athlete and probably was just reaching his potential with Wake. He's a solid pick and should help an improving Bulls team.

18. Ty Lawson (UNC) - Timberwolves
This was the third point guard Minnesota took in the first round, leaving me a bit puzzled. They have since traded Lawson to the Nuggets, where he should be just fine backing up Chauncey Billups. His speed is his biggest asset.

19. Jeff Teague (Wake) - Hawks
I thought Teague came out a year too early, and he is one of the bigger question marks in terms of how he will perform in the NBA. I don't see him playing much for Atlanta in his first year.

28. Wayne Ellington (UNC) - Timberwolves
Another Tar Heel picked by the T'Wolves. You can see a trend here: of the first 6 ACC members picked in the draft, they are all from Tobacco Road. Ellington is a terrific shooter, but so was JJ Redick and he's done little in the NBA.

29. Toney Douglas (FSU) - Lakers
This first ACC player outside Tobacco Road taken was traded to the Knicks. I really liked Douglas in college and think there's a place for his toughness and will to win in the NBA. It's too bad he's stuck on the Knicks.

46. Danny Green (UNC) - Cavaliers
Danny Green was a great player in college but I don't see a whole lot coming from him at the next level. He's playing on a good team and will likely get buried on the bench, if he even makes the squad.

51. Jack McClinton (Miami) - Spurs
Like Ellington, McClinton is just a great pure shooter. I think McClinton might have a future in the NBA, though, because he can play the point. He might make a good backup for Tony Parker.
