i’m not an insider.

Minnesota – #6

Stephen Curry
Position: PG
Height: 6-3
Weight: 181
Age: 21
School: Davidson

Analysis: The Wolves really need help at center and point guard. There aren’t any centers worth taking at this spot, so they’ve been looking hard at Curry, Tyreke Evans, DeMar DeRozan and Brandon Jennings here. If they move up, Ricky Rubio and Hasheem Thabeet move into the picture.

I think Curry can play both positions on the floor and, combined with Randy Foye, could give the Wolves a pretty formidable backcourt. Curry’s maturity, dead-eye shooting and name recognition will make him a smart pick for the Wolves if he’s still on the board. But if he’s not, they will go with Evans. And if Evans is not there, DeRozan and Jennings will get looks.

Golden State – #7

Jordan Hill
Position: PF
Height: 6-10
Weight: 232
Age: 21
School: Arizona
Analysis: The Warriors don’t have a traditional point guard, and they’ll have at least three to choose from here, including Jonny Flynn, Brandon Jennings and Jrue Holiday.

The problem for the Warriors is that they have a young player, Monta Ellis, who thinks he’s a point guard and a coach, Don Nelson, who appears to be committed to giving Ellis a shot at running the point.

That means that even though Flynn, Jennings and Holiday all are on the board here, the Warriors could pass on all three.

I think that puts Hill strongly in play here. He’s a mobile big man, which Nellie likes, and he’s got a great motor. It wouldn’t shock me to see Golden State move Brandan Wright this summer, and if it does, Hill fits right in.

New York – #8

Brandon Jennings
Position: PG
Height: 6-2
Weight: 165
Age: 19
Country: Italy

Analysis: The Knicks will be disappointed if Curry is off the board, but the truth is, they have needs everywhere.

With David Lee hitting restricted free agency this summer, Hill would be a perfect fit for New York at the 4. If he’s there, I think he’ll go ahead of any of the point guards not named Rubio or Curry.

If Hill is gone, as he is in this mock, they’ll be drafting for a point guard. The Knicks likely would be deciding between two young, inexperienced guards with terrific upside: Jennings and Holiday.

Neither had a terrific season, but both have huge potential. Early on, Jennings was better than Holiday in the New York workouts — Jennings held his own in a workout with Evans while Holiday got overshadowed a bit by Curry and Gerald Henderson in his first workout.

The Knicks are bringing Holiday back on Monday. Holiday is all about substance, Jennings about flash. Holiday is low risk, Jennings is higher risk, but higher reward. Right now, Jennings has a super-slim lead, but that could change Monday.

Toronto – #9

DeMar DeRozan
Position: SG
Height: 6-6
Weight: 211
Age: 19
School: USC

Analysis: The Raptors have some needs on the wing since Anthony Parker and Shawn Marion are hitting free agency. DeRozan is one of the most gifted players in the draft, and his strong play at the end of the season combined with a confident performance at the combine could push him even higher than No. 9. But if he’s here, sources say the Raptors won’t pass.

If DeRozan is gone, they’ll decide between Duke’s Henderson and Holiday, with Holiday in the lead. In fact, one source close to the Raptors insisted Sunday that it was Holiday, not DeRozan, whom the Raptors would select in this scenario. We’ll be watching that one closely.

Milwaukee – #10

Jrue Holiday
Position: PG
Height: 6-4
Weight: 199
Age: 18
School: UCLA

Analysis: The Bucks have a big workout Tuesday as they try to sort things out. Flynn, Ty Lawson, Jennings and Jeff Teague all will be there.

But if the team has its way and Holiday is on the board, I think the Bucks will take him. If Holiday is off the board, this week’s workout should determine the rest of their board. But going into the workout, it seems like it’s Flynn, Teague, Jennings and Lawson, in that order.

New Jersey – #11

Jonny Flynn
Position: PG
Height: 6-1
Weight: 196
Age: 20
School: Syracuse

Analysis: We’ve had Tyler Hansbrough at this spot for the past few weeks, and he’s still in consideration here. But if Flynn is on the board, Nets GM Rod Thorn won’t hesitate to take him.

While Thorn has said he needs a moose up front, the Nets have needs in the backcourt, too. Devin Harris can play the 1 and the 2, and Vince Carter can play the 2 and the 3, and without a significant backup point guard, Flynn seems like a terrific fit.

Flynn will have a shot at making his case Tuesday when he goes into a mega workout in New Jersey against his top competition at 11. Jennings, Henderson, Terrence Williams, Hansbrough and Jeff Pendergraph will join him in what could be the ultimate fight for the Nets’ pick.

The Nets are high on all the players at 11 (with the exception of Pendergraph), and Tuesday’s workout could go a long way in deciding whom they pick. That is, if they don’t trade this pick to Chicago for No. 16 and No. 26.

Charlotte – #12

Terrence Williams
Position: SG
Height: 6-6
Weight: 213
Age: 21
School: Louisville

Analysis: Last week, I said I thought it was close to a sure thing that Henderson would be the pick here. What a difference a week makes. Williams went in and blew Larry Brown away. Now Williams and Henderson are going to square off in a second workout early this week. That workout will determine who goes at No. 12, but sources are saying Williams has moved ahead for the time being.

Earl Clark and B.J. Mullens aren’t out of the question here, either, nor is a Bobcats trade. Not only does Henderson not have this thing locked up, but I think he’s in serious danger of slipping.

Indiana – #13

DeJuan Blair
Position: PF
Height: 6-7
Weight: 277
Age: 20
School: Pittsburgh
Analysis: The Pacers have been on the hunt for a point guard and will snatch up either Holiday or Flynn if he falls this far. If neither does, the Pacers will have a tough decision between going big or taking one of the point guards in the next tier.

If they go big, both Blair and Hansbrough are in the mix. The Pacers, like a lot of teams, have had concerns about Blair’s knees, but Blair’s circle has been pretty proactive the past few days with an avalanche of documents, MRIs and medical opinions that all state Blair’s knees should hold up fine.

If they go point guard, I think it will be a dogfight between Teague, Eric Maynor, Lawson and Jennings. All four have been impressive at workouts for the Pacers. Maynor and Lawson are the most ready. Teague and Jennings have the upside.

For now, it appears Blair has moved back into the mix in Indiana. He fills a big need at the 4, and if he’s going to be healthy, he deserves to go this high.

Phoenix – #14

Gerald Henderson
Position: SG
Height: 6-5
Weight: 215
Age: 21
School: Duke

Analysis: The Suns could go in a lot of directions, depending on where GM Steve Kerr decides to take the team.

There’s been a lot of talk about Earl Clark, James Johnson and Mullens here. Clark and Johnson joined Jennings in a workout in Phoenix this weekend with word that Clark and Johnson were basically a tie.

But I think the Suns will have a hard time passing on Henderson if he’s there. He’s rated higher on their board than anyone else who’s available. Henderson isn’t a perfect fit, but he gives them some depth at the 2 and some insurance if they try to ship Jason Richardson this summer.

Detroit – #15

Earl Clark
Position: SF
Height: 6-10
Weight: 226
Age: 21
School: Louisville

Analysis: The Pistons will begin their summer makeover in the draft.

They’d love to add a dominant low-post scorer, but in lieu of that, they’ll have to settle for choosing between two upside guys: Clark and Austin Daye.

Clark could be the second coming of Lamar Odom if he’s willing to put in the work. The versatile forward can play the 3 and the 4 and is amazing in transition, an excellent rebounder and an emerging shooter. And he has the capability (albeit not always the inclination) to play great defense. But there are a few questions about his background that might hurt him.

Daye is one of the most skilled players in the draft. He’s like a 6-foot-11 version of Tayshaun Prince. He’s super skinny, but he can really shoot the rock. He is also inconsistent but has major upside.

I think Clark gets the edge based on physicality and versatility. He’s big enough to be a full-time 4 in the NBA, but it’s a close call.

Chicago – #16

James Johnson
Position: PF
Height: 6-8
Weight: 258
Age: 22
School: Wake Forest
Analysis: The Bulls have been working the phones this week trying to move up in the draft.

They’ve talked to the Nets, Bobcats and Pacers about swapping the 16th and 26th picks to move up a few spots.

Who are they after? I’ve heard everything from Johnson to Blair to Hansbrough to Williams to Mullens here. To be honest, I can’t get a terrific handle on which way they are leaning. In this scenario, Williams and Blair are gone, which leaves Johnson, Mullens and Hansbrough.

Hansbrough is the most NBA ready. Mullens has the most upside. Johnson is somewhere in between. I’m not sure exactly how Johnson fits in Chicago with Luol Deng on one side and Tyrus Thomas on the other, but there’s no question about his upside.

Philadelphia – #17

Ty Lawson
Position: PG
Height: 6-1
Weight: 199
Age: 21
School: North Carolina
Analysis: With Andre Miller hitting free agency this summer, look for the Sixers to address the point guard position. Lou Williams is nice but not really a lead guard.

Maynor, Lawson and Teague all are in the mix here … as are Williams, Henderson and Sam Young.

Maynor would give Philly the total package as one of the most NBA-ready players in the draft. Lawson had the best season of any of the point guards and can really play in an up-tempo style. Teague also will get a look here, but he’s more of a combo guard, and the Sixers have that in Williams.

Minnesota (from Miami) – #18

B.J. Mullens
Position: C
Height: 7-1
Weight: 258
Age: 20
School: Ohio State

Analysis: I’m not sure whether the Wolves will keep this pick, and there are a number of teams that seem to be hot for Mullens that would be willing to trade for it. If the Wolves keep it, Mullens could fill a big hole in the paint in the long term.

Also: He has them picking at #48….
48. Phoenix Suns

Sergiy Gladyr | SG | Ukraine
Gladyr was a star at the Reebok Eurocamp in front of Suns GM Steve Kerr. He won’t play here for a while, but he’s a nice pick to keep tabs on for the next few years in Europe.

I would be shocked. He can guard on the ball, shoot it, and go to the whole. He is going to be a solid player.
