[gswhoops]

The Warriors aren't taking Hill, we don't need another lanky forward project. We need some interior beef or a PG.

In this scenario, I would say Jennings or Holiday are better picks for us.

[BigSlam]

With Felton and Augustin on the roster I don't see the Bobcats taking another PG with so many other holes that need feeling.

[mr.ankle]

Terrible mock for the Bulls

[Silver Man]

Fylnn is too high at number six, but I have been a fan of his, Warriors would be a no on HIll.

[djthesonicsfan]

Very bad at #3... Rick Sund is now the GM in Atlanta so the notSonics are no longer obligated to draft only tall guys.

[perezident]

made the various changes...i have to say this one is completely better imo

[DelaneyRudd]

Utah> Terrence Williams
Shooting Guard, Louisville - (best fit, instant starter for them)

uh... no he isn't.

[MYoung23]

Tyler Smith doesnt shoot well enough to play in the Cavaliers system.

[john2jer]

Wolves are happy. Or at least I am.
