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.
I like the mock...
ReplyDelete1. 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
