I finally found Ford's team need for us...if you want another team let me know and I'll post it...
This is an ESPN Insider article in which Chad Ford gives his team needs for teams with picks in the 1st round. Here they are:
Charlotte Bobcats
Pick: 12
Team Needs: Big shooting guard/point guard
The Skinny: The Bobcats did a lot to remake their roster last season, sending out Jason Richardson, Adam Morrison and Shannon Brown, and bringing in Boris Diaw, Raja Bell, DeSagana Diop, Vladimir Radmanovic and rookies D.J. Augustin and Alexis Ajinca. But no one thinks Larry Brown is done yet. There are still rumblings that he wouldn't mind moving Gerald Wallace.
Starting point guard Raymond Felton is also a restricted free agent. Given Bell's age and Felton's free-agent status, it appears that the Bobcats will likely focus their efforts on shoring up the guard position.
New Jersey Nets
Pick: 11
Team Needs: Power forward, small forward
The Skinny: The Nets struck gold in the draft last year with Brook Lopez at No. 10. Now they'd like to add a tough physical frontcourt player to complement him. No offense to Yi Jianlian, Sean Williams and Ryan Anderson, but they aren't getting it done.
The Nets are also almost out of Bobby Simmons' contract and can start thinking about replacing him. Yes, they've been hoping for years that LeBron would do that. But if he doesn't come to New Jersey, they still have to do something.
