Should the lottery odds play out accordingly, the Wizards figure to land one of the top four spots in the 2012 NBA Draft. Even the worst case scenario of falling all the way totricky number five,North Carolina forward John Henson is not a likely option. Despite his athletic gifts, 6-foot-11 size and penchant for rebounding and defense, his current draft rank falls somewhere in the back half of the lottery. That's not a bad neighborhood to be in, just not where the Wizards figure to set up shop. Not at the moment anyway.Draft Express ranks Henson the number 11 overall prospect while ESPN's Chad Ford slots him at 13. Seems a touch low for me. Maybe the junior is the latest prospect to be knocked for essentially having too much game tape on the college level from which nitpicking scouts can find flaws. Perhaps the aloof nature of Henson's game combined with sky-high expectations for the latest UNC big man have left some wanting. Then there are fears that his thin frame is not capable of adding on the needed weight to handle the NBA pounding.
