Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has been projected as the possible #2 pick of the NBA Draft by several draft websites, but it looks like it could come down to who gets the pick in the lottery.
SBNation.com looks at the teams that could possibly need MKG at #2, and also the teams that might not need a forward.
[QUOTE][h=3]MICHAEL KIDD-GILCHRIST[/h][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Helvetica]The quintessential hard effort, defense-focused wing prospect has fans all over the place, and could end up as the consensus No. 2 before too long. But he makes more sense in places where there isn’t already a small forward, and where defense is a bigger need than offense.[/FONT][/COLOR]

MINUS: Take this minuses for MKG and the next prospect on the list with a grain of salt — if any team lands No. 2 or 3, it’d be very easy to fall in love with either and take them regardless of the roster already in place. But the [URL=”http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/washington-wizards”]Wizards[/URL] and Blazers do already have young small forwards ([URL=”http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/150202/jan-vesely”]Jan Vesely[/URL] and [URL=”http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/35102/nicolas-batum”]Nicolas Batum[/URL]).
