Top Draft Prospects for Each Team: Central Division
 by Jon Nichols

This is the third of a six-part series in which I will match up the best prospects for each team based on the team’s weaknesses and the players’ strengths.  I use each team’s Four Factors (available here: http://www.knickerblogger.net/stats/2009/Magic.htm) and the top prospects’ Four Factors (available here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=rYWvxyu-k0VHkqpR1m7Oc4g).  Some of the teams I will talk about don’t have high enough picks to select the best available players, but I’m going ahead with it anyways just in case they make draft day trades.
