A scout picks four prospects with good second-round value

JOE CRAWFORD (left) 6'4" SG, Sr., Kentucky "He isn't versatile and he isn't going to create a lot of shots for other guys, but he'll be a crafty scorer off the bench."

MALIK HAIRSTON 6'5" SG, Sr., Oregon "Oregon played with four perimeter players, and that held him back; I think he'll show a fuller range of offensive versatility in a more traditional lineup."

BILL WALKER 6'6" SF, Fr., Kansas State "My mind says no, my heart says yes. He has an NFL body and pretty good instincts but no position. In the right system he could be an intimidating guy in the league."

DERON WASHINGTON 6'6" SF, Sr., Virginia Tech "He's the best athlete in the draft. He doesn't shoot it well, but he can be [like] Jason Maxiell—a physical force at both ends."
