9. Nets:
Shawn Respert, MICHIGAN STATE, SHOOTING GUARD. New Jersey has been trying to replace the late Drazen Petrovic. Though undersized, the 6'1" Respert has the shot to do just that.

10. Heat:
Cherokee Parks, DUKE, POWER FORWARD/CENTER. Miami doesn't have a true center; then again, Parks isn't one either.

11. Bucks:
Damon Stoudamire, ARIZONA, POINT GUARD. Milwaukee would've liked a big man, but Stoudamire is a good catch here.

12. Mavericks:
Mario Bennett, ARIZONA STATE, POWER FORWARD. Dallas needs a center, but it's happy to get Bennett's heft.

13. Kings:
Alan Henderson, INDIANA, POWER FORWARD. O.K., you've got to say this once in a draft preview: Sacramento goes for the best available player.
