The 2011 NBA Draft Order will be set in stone after Tuesday night's NBA Draft Lottery and a number of scenarios are in play. Will the Minnesota Timberwolves draft another point guard if awarded the top overall pick? Could BYU's Jimmer Fredette fall entirely out of the lottery? How would Derrick Williams going No. 2 change the way the rest of the lottery teams made their selections? Bleacher Report will looks at these scenarios and more, along with speculation and rumors from around the web.
Whispers around the virtual water cooler have Arizona?s Derrick Williams in the mix at No. 1, especially if the Washington Wizards (11.9 percent chance) walk away with the top overall pick for the second consecutive year.
The kid is a superstar in the making if you trust his ESPN draft profile page?when the positives outnumber the negatives by a factor of five (10 vs. 2) and the pair of negatives are really the same thing (tweener/undersized), well, you?re onto something. All the more so when that something thrives on center stage as Williams did during the Wildcats? improbably deep run in the 2011 NCAA Tournament.
And still, the air of suspicion lingers.

The NBA is the pinnacle of basketball where size most definitely matters. We?ve seen many a college superstar go Association bust in a matter of seasons so any flaw in the gem is reason for pause.
If the Wiz want a sincere No. 4 or 5, expect Enes Kanter or maybe even one of the other international bigs to supplant Williams.
