The Wizards Website Put together a compilation of different "expert's" draft projections:

Here is just a few of them:
NBADraft.net (http://www.nbadraft.net/)
Shawne Williams - SG/SF (Memphis)
Strengths: Has tremendous versatility, at 6-9 Shawne can play from the 1-thru-4 positions ... Advanced offensive game, really understands how to play ... Great one on one skills offensively ... Great vision, passing skills ... Good ball handler, almost second nature ... Can create for himself or others off the dribble drive ... Consistent jump shot, with range out to three point ... A highlight reel waiting to happen ... Extremely long wingspan makes him a terrific rebounder and shot blocker ... Good competitor, doesn't back down from a challenge, as he showed squaring off with Adam Morrison after being pushed ... His body is not far from being NBA ready ...
Weaknesses: Low-release point on his jumper could cause problems at the next level ... Will need to develop better defensive technique, more intensity ... Quickness is very good, but won't stand out on the next level ... Still must add strength and conditioning

Alexander Johnson - PF/C (Florida State)
After initially being projected as a 2nd round pick, he’s helped himself tremendously in early workouts and now has a very good chance of slipping into the mid-late first round. His strength, physicality, freakish athleticism, and budding face-up skills are all tailor made to the NBA private workout setting. Chicago, Indiana, Washington and New Jersey are probably the highest drafting teams that he has a good shot of landing at. What makes him intriguing is the fact that at age 23, he is ready to come in and play right away, but still has a considerable upside to continue to improve.

Hilton Armstrong - PF (Connecticut)
Tall, long and super athletic big man that has really blossomed in his senior season. Terrific shot-blocker, runs the floor extremely well and plays very hard when motivated. Will have some excellent offensive outbursts in the post from time to time, or even knock down the mid-range jump shot. Didn't do anything in his first three years. Still not all that polished. His mental toughness has been questioned at times.

Hilton Armstrong - PF (Connecticut)
Armstrong doesn't need the basketball, which is good, considering he's not likely to get it given the presence of the Wizards' "Big Three." What he can offer is defense, particularly by altering shots, as well as rebounding. He needs to become a better finisher.
