gswhoops' Mock (second update 3/25)

why did you take out Nicolas Batum out of your mock. I think he is a lock to be in the lottery. Also I would rather have Anthony Randolph on the Bulls.

Also does anyone remember last year when Hibbert said that he would go in the 2008 draft and be a top 3 pick.

Cavs don't need a PG.. We're comfortable with Gibson and West... And even IF we were to draft one, it'd be a guy like Mayo or Bayless (they wouldn't be available, I know) not Lawson... We need more of a combo guard at the point... One that can do a little bit of everything...

Cavs need a big man like a Jawai, Hardin, Hendrix, Hansbrough, Thabeet, etc...

Not sure the sixers want a PG either.

Knicks fans are going to riot no matter what...

Yes, a big man (Love, Hibbert, Hardin), or a true scorer (Tyler Smith). Although I could see them also considering Darren Collison if he were still available.

No chance Charlotte takes Thabeet... what would be the point, with Okafor? You'd have a much better chance with Hibbert, but personally I doubt we'd pass on Randolph if he's there. Augustine might also be a possibility.

Also, Love slips a bit too much IMO..

Arthur, Randolph, Ibaka, Anderson... most likely 09 canidates.

Agree with earlier post about Jawai... Derrick Caracter is better.

But this is one volatile class... People have been jumping all over the board for a while. I'd personally rather have a late teens pick than an early teens pick. All those options makes it way harder to choose...

you have not seen the lack of defense at the Guard position

but we need Post players also... these guys mentioned are not matured ..like the player we already have or not that talented enough

Love to the Blazers? They already have LaMarcus Aldridge and Oden.

Also, is there any word on the status of JaVale McGee? The Suns seem like a perfect fit for him.

Cammo101 · Post #31 » by **Cammo101** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 11:07 pm

Arthur and Budinger are too low IMO. They likely will not declare if they are targeted in this range.

gsw_hoops · Post #32 » by **gsw_hoops** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 11:17 pm

Why would we take another PG? In my opinion, our main problem is getting outrebounded and beaten up down low. We need a banger.

Liqourish · Post #33 » by **Liqourish** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 1:36 pm

I don't mind the Jawai pick for Detroit... he is one of the four the Pistons are interested in, but where is Jason Thompson? If he is on the board, that who Dumars will draft.

Post #34 » by **5DOM** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 1:57 pm

hardin's too big of a reach at toronto's spot.

we'd rather take walker or smith.

and if we are going to draft a big, i'd rather take dorsey or jawai (both are reaches, but they bring toughness and athleticism that we need

Liqourish · Post #35 » by **Liqourish** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 2:27 pm

Detroit will swap picks and add in cash considerations for Toronto's pick. Detroit can grab Hardin and Toronto and grab Dorsey or Jawai and get some cash back. Or we can send back one of the second rounders from the Delfino trade.

1) He is top ten on this mock.

2) A top 10 talent? Yes. A top 10 pick? Not so sure. There are alot of other players that are top 10 worthy and may fit in there based on team need. Charlotte and maybe Indiana are the only top 10 teams that may be interested, and each of them has other holes that they could also go for.
