Put a lot more thought into this one than my first mock attempt. I'd appreciate some thoughtful comments so I can make another attempt sometime after the official order is announced.

[El Turco]

utah is not taking a SG

[5DOM]

toronto is not taking a PF

[gswhoops]

DJ Augustin makes no sense for the Warriors, in the short or long term. We'd take Greene or Arthur over him easily.

[eyriq]

I love Batum with the Magic! I thought this mock looked good. GJ.

[BBen]

I want to say this is a good mock draft and you go out on some limbs here. I assume though that you're not taking any team needs into account here since there's no way the Sonics draft two PFs in the first round while holding onto Collison and Wilcox; if both go then maybe. Also, Greene is too low IMHO.

[Big_Mac79]

Another thing about the Sonics you have them taking 5 PFs and a C
That might be a little too many Bigs

and Weaver is too low

[enIIgma_chan]

Utah wouldn't take another SG 'cuz they've got enough of that already and I think they should take Robin Lopez or Mario Chalmers if Joe Alexander is not available. ^^;

[GJense4181]

Pistons would take Serge Ibaka over a PG, I'm sure.
We already have Rodney Stuckey, PG, and Arron Afflalo, SG, remember?

[HeavyP]

Sonics 2nd pick: Courtney Lee, Wayne Ellington, Robin Lopez or Ty Lawson
Sonics 1st 2nd round pick: One of whoevers left otherwise Kyle Weaver or Serge Ibaka.

[KnickJunior]

You really think the Knicks will take Gallinari over Bayless?

[balkmania]

You really think the Knicks will take Gallinari over Bayless?

yea, i really do. what does bayless bring that nate and crawford don't? its not like bayless has the potential to be a lock down defender like Rose and Mayo do. D'Antoni could make a statement by taking the Euro who would fit in with his run and gun system. It would be the Knicks' first significant international draft pick (they drafted Nene to trade him) and he has just as much potential to be an all-star as Bayless or Eric Gordon.
