I can't believe Collison is going at 24! He's been playing really well...

Your best mock yet imo. I like Jordan dropping to 8th, and I like how you have Darrell Arthur and Bill Walker a fair bit higher than Draft Express. I still think you have the Euros (Gallinari and especially Batum) a bit high though. Batum may be athletic, but his lack of production against somewhat weak competition makes him a bit of a stretch for a top 10 pick.

Memphis wants to to uptempo, they are not taking Lopez.

What would that matter? Lopez would be fine in an up tempo system.

As for the mock, well thought out as usual from Cammo. My critiques (as if my opinion mattered):
1. I still think Gallinari and Batum are too high. It doesnt seem like a strong draft year for the foreign guys.
2. Still think Anthony Randolph is too low.
3. Westbrook is too low.
4. Joe Alexander helped his stock in the tournament, but not that much.
5. Collison is too low.

I think that Davidson PG will at least be drafted in the second round with his performance in the tourney.

Charlotte would pick Love over DeAndre "Bust-tacular" Jordbust.

thought out as usual. as for critiques:

batum still ahead of love seems a bit iffy. dont mind gallinari position though.
arthur may be a tad bit high while randolph is a bit low. id think theyd be a bit closer.
i still think collison is low, but not as much as some others do.
maybe a bit high on t.smith and a little low on westbrook, but not wildly so.

a few others based on personal preferences, but nothing that stands out as odd.

I know. I love Collison and it pains me to have him there. Deep draft, at least if all these guys declare.

Thank you. Batum won't be picked on his play now, but on his ample upside. This is a tough draft to predict, there are a lot of pretty evenly rated players.

Again, good mock, few minor tweaks at the most, but always look forward to your mocks.

However, for the Kings
How do you feel about K. Love, A. Randolph, J. McGee, D. Greene all at the PF for us? Do you think that Arthur will eventually be the best player and best fit?

I like Portland's second round picks, Hickson, Ibaka and Hairston are all solid but I doubt Portland leaves this draft having signed more than 1 of their second rounders as the roster is stacked. I can see why youd put them there though because as it is Portland will probably trade a couple of them anyway.

I hope you're wrong for the Bucks sake.

For Philly, the Randolph pick is good value, but I think we'd be looking for either a center (like Hibbert or Thabeet) or a true PG that can be groomed under Miller (like Collison). We're pretty good at swingman right now with both Young and Iguodala, I don't think Randolph would see the light of day (unless he does have actual PF potential).

Just something to consider

I think Love and Hawes would not mesh well together. Too simular, too unathletic. Randolph, McGee, and Arthur would all be solid fits. I personally like Arhtur best of the group for pretty much any team. Greene IMO will be a SF in the NBA in the Rudy Gay mold.

If Seattle ends up #1, and take Beasley (although I think they might still take Rose). But if they take Beasley, I think they move up a spot (to 24) If Collison is still there.

With Durant and Green pegged as the future, I think Seattle would take Rose. Then take a guy like Weaver with their 2nd 1st round pick.

I don't think Randolph really projects as a swingman, he's like 6'11. I think the Sixers would definitely take him if he were available.

Has it been confirmed that Blake Griffin isn't coming out this year? Because I notice that you don't have him anywhere on this mock draft?

And you still think that Joey Dorsey will go in the second round? I think he might be creeping up to the late 1st..

Griffin has not said one way or the other. I don't think he comes out if I had to guess. Dorsey may sneak into the 1st round, but his height is a problem at the next level as he is very limited offensively.

where's ty lawson? :-?

I guess you're thinking he won't come out this year, but I can't see why he wouldn't...
