Anthony Davis overall #1 in 2012 Draft, but which team came out winning?

As everybody expected, The Hornets selected Anthony Davis with the #1 overall selection. The hornets now have perhaps the only player in the draft with Superstar potential so no surprise there. But they also got Austin Rivers at the #10 spot who has all star potential. Rivers is a VERY competitive player who will work hard and wants to be the best player on the floor. The Hornets top priority now is to sign Eric Gordon but they certainly utilized their draft picks to the max and should be very happy with their selections (they also got Darius Miller in the second round)
The Charlotte Bobcats had the second pick and had at least 5 offers for the pick from other teams. Nevertheless they stayed with the pick and selected Michael-Kid Gilchrist. The bobcats need help at basically every position and Gilchrist is arguably the best player behind Davis and certainly has the best motor, he will be a lock down defender for them and will help them in a number of ways, regardless of whether they had chosen Gilchrist or Beal or Robinson, they weren't going to go wrong with their pick and most certainly still need TONS of help for the Jordan-Owned team.
The Wizards had the third overall pick and selected Bradley Beal, who many considered to be the best player in the draft after Davis. Beal is constantly compared to Ray Allen, and was a very sought out player (The thunder supposedly offered the Bobcats James Harden for the second pick so that they could draft Beal). This pick is a great pick for Washington who need a guard who can space the floor for Wall. The Wizards have slowly been getting rid of players who have been a disturbance (to say the least) in the locker room. They traded for Trevor Ariza and Emeka Okafor and now have a solid starting 5 with a Lethal backcourt. All that remains to be seen is if Wall will have a breakout year.
The Cleveland Cavaliers had two picks in the first round and they sure put them to good use. With Rookie of the Year Kyrie Irving at point guard, they went ahead and drafted Dion Waiters, a legit scorer who has drawn comparisons to Dwyane Wade, and Tyler Zeller the 7 footer from UNC. Now the cavaliers have very good talent at the 1,2,4 and 5 position. They will be a very fun team to watch and they get a A- from this one man committee.
The kings added even more talent with Thomas Robinson who will now play along talented center Demarcus Cousins, and should compete for a starting spot immediately. The phoenix suns however seem to be getting ready to deal with their post Nash era by drafting the purest PG in the draft available in Kendall Marshall. There were concerns about his ability to shoot the ball coming out of UNC, but at the end of the season he helped his stock a lot with some big shooting performances for his team. In addition he will play for Alvin Gentry who plays a fast tempo offense and wants to run the score high, so Kendall Marshall has definitely landed in the right place.
Overall there werent any big surprises in this draft but it should come as a big surprise that Perry Jones who has All Star potential, fell to the end of the first round because of concerns of a knee injury. This man will definitely be the steal of the draft and look who lands him... The Oklahoma City Thunder, Jones is a 6-10 prospect and should the Thunder not sign Ibaka, who is a free Agent then they now have insurance.
