This is by no means an exhaustive list, but here are the big guys - and the
others too - who Shelden Williams would compete with for a spot in the draft
should he choose to come out. Sean May and Marvin Williams are included
although they have yet to declare.
A standard scenario has Andrew Bogut going first, Marvin Williams second, and
Chris Paul almost always going to New Orleans to fill the shoes of Baron
Davis. If so, it's gamesmanship and poker faces afterwards.
