Dorkestra Mock 2015

[skywalker33]

Noticed as a PHI fan, you have positioned Mudiay as always going to the 6ers.....

Noticed as a PHI fan, you have positioned Mudiay as always going to the 6ers.....

In the last several of my mocks, yes, I have Mudiay going to Philly as a BPA choice. I am fairly certain Hinkie will not let position affect his selection much if at all.

[skywalker33]

Well, the position does make sense, not disagreeing with that..just not sure he falls to the 3rd spot.

[dorkestra]

I see Mudiay going after Okafor or Towns at this stage. Especially with PG depth as it is currently.

Haha I am right there with you brother. The way the top five or so prospects are shaping out, I am not that worried about being shafted by the lottery.

WCS is definitely a player I've wanted us to draft so as a Kings fan this would make me very happy. WCS is the type of player Cousins needs next to him, and Cousins is the type of player WCS needs next to him.

Yes Cauley-Stien to Sac! Please let this happen

Sent from my SM-G900T using RealGM Forums mobile app

[Silver Man]

Like City of Trees and I previously stated once again if WCS is there for the Kings at seven we jump all over. Exactly the player we need.

[WeNeverLeftAZ]

If Lakers are any where from 3-5 I really think they take Stanley Johnson. They have sent so many guys to Arizona games. Sign Rondo draft Stanley is what I see.

[dorkestra]

I'm not arguing that the Lakers wouldn't take Johnson, but I think probably only if they had the fifth pick. It would be difficult in my mind for any player to penetrate the top four of Okafor, Towns, Russell, Mudiay right now. Things can surely change between now and the draft though.

Any specific reasoning behind Orlando taking another SG/SF? While having Harris/Gordon/Harkless at the 3 and Dipo/Fournier/Marble at the 2?

Harris assurance? but what about Gordon?

I really feel Orlando's big board should be..

- Towns
- Russell
- Turner
- Johnson
- Cauley Stein

I'm with you on that. Long way to go til those lottery balls drop.

I think Harris will get a big pay raise this off-season, and I think Orlando would be wise to let someone else overpay him.

With that in mind, I see the following guys as the Magic core:

Payton
Oladipo
______
Gordon
Vucevic

Here I arrived at Hezonja (I had typically put Stanley in this slot) due to his skillset translating better to playing off ball. I'm not quite as high on Turner as you are, but his shot-blocking ability could compliment Vucevic well in the post. Between the two of those guys though, you would be lacking in speed. Payton/Oladipo/Gordon all play well at a fast pace. It's all a work in progress though, so I am happy to have your opinion to consider while evaulating my next mock.

I think Magic would hold Johnson higher on their board due to his skill, work ethic, motor and overall character. He reminds me a lot of Payton, Oladipo, and Gordon. And with the progression of Dedmon, a shot blocker isn't as much of a need as thought. I think BPA is how they draft and the top 3 draft board should be:

Towns
Russell
Johnson
