NBA Mock Draft

1.  This is without trades (there will be many)
2.  Because of number one you might as well stop reading now. 

...or let the craziness begin...

1.  CLE - Derrick Williams - PF - Arizona
He's the safest pick and the most NBA ready player in a mediocre draft.

2.  MIN - Enes Kanter - C - Turkey
It will be tough for Kahn to pass on Irving, but he MUST go with the big man.

3.  JAZZ - Kyrie Irving - PG - Duke
The consensus number one falls into a great situation with a talented Utah team.

4.  CLE - Brandon Knight - PG - Kentucky
The perfect scenario for Cavs with them getting two of the top 3 players.

5.  TOR - Bismack Biyombo - PF - Spain
He adds toughness and athleticism to a 'soft' Raptors team.  The first gamble of the draft. 

6.  WIZ - Kawhi Leonard - SF - San Diego State
John Wall will be very happy with this pick.  He'll be a much better option than Josh Howard on the wing. 

7.  SAC - Kemba Walker - PG - UConn
A very scary backcourt is created with Tyreke Evans.

8.  DET - Jan Vesely - SF - Czech Republic
Joe Dumars tries the International route again.  This time successfully. 

9.  CHA - Marcus Morris - PF - Kansas
**the consensus pick**

10.  MIL - Alec Burks - SG - Colorado
He'll be the more athletic Michael Redd.  Oh ya, and he has two healthy knees.

11.  GS - Klay Thompson - SG - Washington State
He'll be the starter on opening night after Monta Ellis is traded this summer.

12.  JAZZ - Chris Singleton - SF - Florida State
A lock down defender and superior athlete to spell Paul Milsap.

13.  PHX - Jimmer Fredette - BYU
The perfect guy to learn from Steve Nash.  Still think he's 50/50 to flop.

14.  HOU - Valanciunas - C - Lithuania
Fills their biggest need and with two picks they can roll the dice.

15.  IND - Jordan Hamilton - SF - Texas
Larry said that he needed scoring and this is his answer.

16.  PHI - Tristan Thompson - PF - Texas
I just wanted to take two Texas players back to back alphabetically.

17.  NYK - Reggie Jackson - PG - Boston College
How can New York pass on Mr. October?

18.  WIZ - Markieff Morris - PF - Kansas
He's got 3 point range and is a tough rebounder.  That's a solid combination. 

19.  CHA - Nikola Vucevic - C - USC
MJ won with Will Perdue.  Maybe he sees a little Will in Nikola.

20.  MIN - Tobias Harris - SF - Tennessee
Should be able to play the 3 and give Minny a tough front court with Love and Kanter.

21.  POR - Kenneth Faried - PF - Morehead State
If the top rebounder in the country is available at 21, you have to take him.

22.  DEN - Marshon Brooks - SG - Providence College
The next Carmelo has arrived.  Except for his lack of winning pedigree. 

23.  HOU - Iman Shumpert - PG - Georgia Tech
Houston goes with best available.

24.  OKC - Donatas Montiejunas - PF - Lithuania
The perfect alternative to Perkins.  An offensively talented big who runs the floor well. 

25.  BOS - Jeremy Tyler - PF- Japan
Danny goes with the upside and selects a top 10 talent with a ton of baggage.    This is the perfect locker room for the kid. 

26.  DAL - Nikola Mirotic - SF - Serbia
Dallas upgrades on the offensive end selects an understudy for Dirk. 

27.  NJ - Kyle Singler - SF - Duke
Bobby Hurley's dad coaches in New Jersey and that's all I got here. 

28.  CHI - Travis Leslie - SG - Georgia
Thibs attempts to fill their biggest hole by selecting one of the most explosive guards in the country.

29.  SAS - Norris Cole - PG - Cleveland State
The Spurs are trying to get into the lottery (by trading Parker) which leaves a big hole at PG.

30.  CHI - Justin Harper - PF - Richmond
A stretch 4 who can offer a whole lot more than the overpaid Carlos Boozer.

  1. I like the mock...
    1. I doubrt Toronto will take such a risk at 5.
    2. I doubt the Knicks will take Jackson with Vucevic, Brooks, Shumpert and Faried still on the board.
    3.I think NJ will go with Josh Selby(or a point) as backup for Darren Williams...or let's say if he decides to bounce outta NJ next year...

    Good Job,
    Cheers
