Denver takes Hibbert in a fast paced, quick foot offense?
SA takes a PG? Serious?
Dorsey has fallen out of the first round, and there is no way Boston takes a big considering how many questions they have on the wings.

But a good mock overall, especially top 20.

First mock I've seen on here that has Speights going in a realistic position, he won't be outside the top 15.

honestly one of the best mocks i've seen so far. the biggest question i have though is the t-wolves passing on brook lopez. they have no big men at all after jefferson. it's too big a need to take mayo over him in my opinion.

I like it for the Bulls, especially if we can snag D'Antoni.

I agree that Lopez makes sense, but the Wolves board had a poll and Mayo won by a pretty wide margin so I went with that.

Heres the season summary for the Wolves from 82Games with their positional ranks.

As much as they need another big man they need help in the backcourt just as badly.Hopefully Foye will stay healthy and help out with that and Brewer will develop and learn to score a bit to help out at the 3 but they don't have the luxury of picking for need.

PDX would LOVE Danilo Gallinari.

Question-Can Donte Greene rebound? I don't really follow college hoops much, but we need to get a rebounder or else we're screwed next year too.

Posted: **Fri May 9, 2008 12:43 pm**

I too love the Gallinari pick for Portland, great mock. ESPN Lotto sim has Gallinari going to us now as well

Posted: **Fri May 9, 2008 12:52 pm**

God i really hope Jordan isn't going to the Nets .

Ehh...7.2 rpg in 35 minutes, so he's not a great rebounder but he's passable. As you can see from my avy though, he's not my #1 choice

Now that I think about it, I might flip Koufos and Hibbert...they seem better fits that way.

SA takes a PG? Serious?

Well, IMO their two biggest needs are athleticism on the wings and a backup PG. There are going to be a lot of athletic wings available so I think they address that with an MLE signing (Pietrus, Barnes, JR Smith, etc.) and draft Lawson to shore up PG.

Dorsey has fallen out of the first round, and there is no way Boston takes a big considering how many questions they have on the wings.

Didn't know that, I'll change that for my post-lottery mock.

Randolph is too similar to Yi and CV for Milwaukee. I'd say Westbrook is a better bet.

Posted: **Fri May 9, 2008 10:20 pm**

one of the better mocks ive seen...good job

If Philly cam eout with Arthur i wouldnt be mad @ all...

Posted: **Fri May 9, 2008 11:12 pm**

love the Sonic draft ... #32 weaver I hope

I like the Joe Alexander pick for Utah :wizard:
