I am aware DJ Augustin is ranked low, but I think he is overrated and although I know there are basically no point guards in this draft I still do not think he is lotto material. I think Joe Alexander will work his way into the lotto and think Russell Westbrook is a "Larry Brown" player for the Bobcats.

Thoughts on the mock appreciated as always...

Haha, you have the Kings picking two hometown kids in the second round, Nelson and Anderson. Was that intentional?

I love the Arthur pick by the way.

yea it was intentional. i know the Wizards usually like to take the hometown players in the second round, not sure if the Kings normally do that, but it seemed like an easier way to make second round picks.

just a heads up "Kenny Thomas is my myspace homie" - you're showing facebook.

I love the draft for Minnesota. Good stuff.

[Jack wore plaid]

If Anthony Randolph fell to the Blazers at #13 they might actually keep that pick. The only thing I saw that I questioned was the second round selection of Ibaka over Chalmbers or Lawson for Portland. I think Ibaka would be a good fit, but I doubt they would pass on either of the Pg's for him

I can't see the Sixers taking Koufos, or any center for that matter.

[A.J.]

I love the Hibbert pick

[gswhoops]

for the Speights pick!

I don't see us going with a SG in the 2nd round though but I have no complaints really if we end up with my boy Speights.

I originally had DJ White as the Warriors second round pick. Basically I think it is a longshot the Warriors second round pick will make the team based on the talent on that team compared to what is left in the draft. I think Giddens would have the best chance of making the team out of the guys left.
