Slow Form RealGM Mock Draft 

Post#1 » by dice » Wed Jun 24, 2009 3:35 pm

No clock here!

I've stopped by every board whose team has a pick in the first round of the draft and waited until a clear frontrunner had been determined. One more to go. If the Cavalier board cannot come up with a pick I'll step in and make a reasonable selection for you :wizard: Fortunately I have not yet had to do that. Here are the results so far:

1. Clippers - Blake Griffin PF, 20, Oklahoma City, OK
2. Grizzlies - Ricky Rubio PG, 18, Barcelona, Spain
3. Thunder - Hasheem Thabeet C, 22, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
4. Kings - James Harden SG, 19, Los Angeles, CA
5. Wizards - Tyreke Evans G, 19, Chester, PA
6. Wolves - Demar DeRozan G/F, 19, Compton, CA
7. Warriors - Jrue Holiday G, 19, Chatsworth, CA
8. Knicks - Jordan Hill PF, 21, Atlanta, GA
9. Raptors - Brandon Jennings PG, 19, Los Angeles, CA
10. Bucks - DeJuan Blair PF, 20, Pittsburgh, PA
11. Nets - James Johnson PF, 22, Cheyenne, WY
12. Bobcats - Terrence Williams SG, 21, Seattle, WA
13. Pacers - Stephen Curry G, 21, Charlotte, NC
14. Suns - Earl Clark F, 21, Plainfield, NJ

15. Pistons - Austin Daye F, 21, Irvine, CA
16. Bulls - Jonny Flynn PG, 20, Niagara Falls, NY
17. Sixers - Ty Lawson PG, 21, Clinton, MD
18. Wolves - Gerald Henderson SG, 21, Caldwell, NJ
19. Hawks - Eric Maynor PG, 22, Fayetteville, NC
20. Jazz - Jeff Teague PG, 21, Indianapolis, IN
21. Hornets - Darren Collison PG, 21, Rancho Cucamonga, CA
22. Mavericks - Marcus Thornton SG, 22, Baton Rouge, LA
23. Kings - Tyler Hansbrough PF, 23, Columbia, MO
24. Blazers - BJ Mullens C, 20, Canal Winchester, OH
25. Thunder - Sam Young SF, 24, Clinton, MD
26. Bulls - Wayne Ellington SG, 21, Wynnewood, PA
27. Grizzlies - Omri Casspi SF, 21, Yavne, Israel
28. Wolves - Patrick Mills PG, 20, Canberra, Australia
29. Lakers - Chase Budinger SF, 21, Encinitas, CA

And with the final pick of the 2009 SlowForm draft Cleveland takes...?

Derrick Brown, DaJuan Summers, or Taj Gibson seem logical. I'd say the edge to Brown. Yeah, Derrick Brown, Xavier. I don't see the Cavs taking a foreign player. My guess is the Cavs find a way to move up, but the way this mock shapes up, Derrick Brown at #30. What does anyone know about Omri Casspi? The scouting reports make him sound like a Rip Hamilton-type non-stop runner with a great mind for spacing, but still raw with his jumper. And he didn't seem to play many games last year and around 20 min., so he probably couldn't take 82+ games. But apparently scouts love his potential.

If the Knicks can buy the 28 can the Cavs get in that. And can they go and buy the #21 as well. Then their three picks and Ben and Sasha and cash for Shaq and #14.

Danny Green

Although, I would draft the rights to Nick Calathes and hold him for the future...

Calathes would be a good pick and so would Claver to stash overseas.

DeMarre Carroll, Heytvelt, and Derrick Brown would also be ok.

Thornton got picked really high. Mullens dropped a good amount.

I like Derrick Brown from those choices.
