Hey man, great stuff. Would be nice if the picks were numbered and where applicable labeled if the pick was from another team

Really like Kelly Oubre's game, he has a pro game so we'll see how it translates at Kansas this year. He and Cliff Alexander together are going to be a filthy filthy combination together. Can't wait to watch them!

No disrespect but I am just curious why you feel Okafor is worthy of #1?

I think I would slip Guo Ailun in the first round...or do you feel he is a second rounder?

Someone tell me why we're taking hezonja at 4.

I am going to change the standings and put them according to Vegas but, simply, I believe the Magic need more star power, I see Harris as a 6th man type and Gordon as the starting PF and I believe Vucevic is the one they will focus on resigning, probably Harris too, but I think if one is due to leave, Tobes is more likely.
Mario is a crafty scorer with long range and true star potential, he is likely a SF going forward and he could fit nicely next to Payton-Oladipo-Gordon-Vucevic.

Towns for me is the other option there, also Porzingis for whoever sees Gordon as a SF I guess.

You messed up on the Bulls first pick. The Sac pick. 8-)

Good mock

I don't see a situation where Kristaps goes before Towns. Minnesota would jump all over Towns at that point.

I'm not that high on Towns I guess, and Porzingis is a terrific fit for Minnesota needs.

I feel pretty good about Towns becoming the best prospect in this draft. His skill set and size are pretty unique. He has a good personality, and fits a lot of schemes with his versatility. He seems like a sure thing to me.

What do you see, or don't see, that makes you low on him?

First I dont like his body type, he is far from being an elite athlete and I have concerns about him defending in space, his offensive game is polished but he looks to much for the jumpshot and plays soft for stretches, plus he is a really heavy guy but he doesnt have that type of strength in his lower body, I worry about possible injuries, he looks like Bynum a bit.

I think Okafor is both a safer bet and a guy with a higher ceiling due to that, he got trunks for legs.
At least Okafor and Mudiay are ahead in my book, and I'd likely put Johnson there too.

Towns via the UK combine actually measured out to be a very good athlete.

What do you think the Sixers would do with Okafor given that they have Embiid?

stanley14 · Post #19 » by **stanley14** » Sun Dec 14, 2014 11:58 pm

Why would the Knicks take Winslow over Towns? Towns' ceiling is clearly higher, they already have Carmelo at SF and they need a bigman.
