I bet KCP is a major riser.

so at what point in the draft do you have to take Shabazz? we could probably get him in the teens at this point. You could take Caldwell Pope @ 9 and trade Williams to get Muhammed too - could be a good gamble w/ minimal investment.

I like Erik Murphy in the 2nd - being compared to Bonner and would be a nice pick n pop option w/ Rubio

Sounds like Zeller continues to impress with his athleticism and shooting. He'll likely be a top-8 pick.

I sure hope so, that'd help us a lot

In those flip interviews he keeps emphasizing size in the backcourt. Unless McCollum looks like the next stephen curry in workouts then i dont see us pick him. Shabazz might be higher on our big board than he is.

Size in the backcourt will definitely help us out a lot. Ricky is big, but lacks strength so we can't be sending out Ridnour at SG again.

I've said this over and over...but I hope we could get Travis Releford with one of our 2nds. Idk why he isn't rated higher, great defender, he can handle a bit, good shooter and he played for a big time program. I'd also be interested in Reggie Bullock.

Well he might be flying under the radar on purpose, GMs don't want to tip their hand. But he would be a solid 2nd round option.

As I mentioned before, I hope Flip considers Bogdan Bogdanovic in the 2nd round, he's a 6'6.35'' and 6'11'' wingspan(??!!), playing at SG. He's from the same club where Pek got known playing for, Partizan Belgrade.

I think he is similar to Terrence Ross, three pointer gunner, streaky, with athleticism, can't create, and has a tough time getting to the basket due to bad ball handling skills, his defense first year should be on par wit any rookie. I would be wary making him a starter though, but his second year he could be.

sounds good - we don't have the roster spots anyways... I'm assuming he's under the typical european 19 year 2 million dollar contract that he signed when he was 16 with a few random NBA opt outs so we can stash him?

He signed a multi-year contract in 2010, but any other details are not known. I think he definitely has a typical contract with few NBA opt outs, imo he wouldn't enter the draft if he didn't.

DX has posted its new mock, and had this teaser tweet yesterday.

Most expected KCP to be one of those changes, but he hasn't moved from 19

It would be sweet if there were explanations. I'd be interested to read why they have the Wolves making a terrible pick at #9.

Post #1456 » by **Klomp** » Mon Jun 3, 2013 10:12 pm

Here are some of the bigger changes I noticed (sorry for long delay between posts, someone stopped by to chat):

-Len jumped from 6 to 4. Bennett dropped from 4 to 6.
-Adams jumped from 16 to 10. Gobert dropped from 10 to 16.
-Karasev dropped from 15 to 26.
-Snell jumped from 35 to 30.
-Pierre Jackson jumped from 42 to 32.
-Glen Rice dropped from 26 to 34.
-Goodwin dropped from 30 to 39.
-Erik Murphy jumped from 54 to 43.

Crabbe, Bullock and Hardaway Jr. all went up a few spots as well.

I doubt kcp drops that far and that bennet gets drafted by the pelicans.

Devilzsidewalk · Post #1459 » by **Devilzsidewalk** » Tue Jun 4, 2013 12:33 am

that'd be weird to see the Pelicans take Bennett

Kinda like how it'd be weird for us to take Williams when we have Love
