Thornton works the best because he'll produce right away, he's fun to watch and fits in perfectly with the Miller-Iguodala-Dalembert feel.

And by the way, as a Celtics fan, I am hoping and praying that Thornton goes before this spot. I don't want this guy in my division.

The VP's verdict: Thornton. Now we have to talk Billy King out of giving Shavlik Randolph a $45 million contract extension.
