Anybody watching the mock on NBATV?

They have

Parker
Exum
Wiggins
Vonleh
Stauskas
Julius Randle

Why in the world would Stauskas go 5th to the Jazz? I understand it's a need if Hayward leaves, but 5th overall? Anyone else find this nearly impossible? Also I find the top 3 to be quite likely where as I don't think anyone else really does

Here's the full list for reference



1. CLE - Parker
2. MIL - Exum
3. PHI - Wiggins
4. ORL - Vonleh
5. UTAH - Stauskas
6. BOS - Randle
7. LAL - Embiid
8. SAC - McDerrmont
9. CHA - Harris
10. PHI - Gordon
11. DEN - Saric
12. ORL - Smart
13. MIN - Payne
14. PHX - Nurkic
15. ATL - Hood
16. CHI - Young
17. BOS - Napier
18. PHX - Warren
19. CHI - LaVine
20. TOR - Payton
21. OKC - Anderson
22. MEM - Ennis
23. UTAH - Tavares
24. CHA - McDaniels
25. HOU - Hairston
26. MIA - McGary
27. PHX - Micic
28. LAC - Capela
29. OKC - Grant
30. SA - Robinson III

My Thoughts on it are

This would be Orlando's best possible haul if smart drops to 12 seems a bit low

Exum over wiggins baffled me

Stauskas at 5 is a major reach

Saric and McDerrmont both where a little too high

Can't see embiid falling that far

LaVine and Anderson will both go higher than 19th and 22nd

Shabazz's draft stock has shot up through a roof apparently

I watched it. It was fairly ridiculous. STAUSKAS at five?! SMART at 12?!

I wish this was the actual outcome as we make out like bandits...but lolno

if wiggins and embiid are on the board, and MKE takes Exum luring quick cement in my dickhole.

It was based entirely off one man's mock draft - David Aldridge. Would have made more sense for them to take turns picking a player for each team IMO.

These guys that get paid to talk about the draft rarely have the same level of passion as the posters on real gm. I saw a thing recently where Simmons and J Rose did a draft and Rose forgot to put A Gordon in at all, lol.

Having said that the real draft usually includes some similar level surprises.

Bill Simmons is on record saying there are no "game changers" in the draft.
not big time players.

I agree with that. Some good prospects and projects though.

So Parker Wiggings aren't game changers?

I don't think so. Parker will be a bust. WIggins will be decent but not a superstar, at least not if you don't consider Derozan a superstar.

I see where you're coming from. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out

they roundly called lavine a bust. i think one guy said he'll need 3yrs.

the draft is not deep in the lottery. it's deep for everyone else. i think the good teams got the most useful picks
