Mock Draft with Lottery predictions

[Ballislife10]

1.Sacramento kings-PG/John Wall
kings win Lottery and cash in with Wall.

2.New Jersey nets-SG/Evan Turner
Nets lose the chance at the big prize but they didn't lose it all as they add Evan Turner to have a potential All star they can build around.

3.Minnesota Timberwolves-PF/Derrick Favors
Timberwolves May not get Turner but they add the BPA at number 3 IMO Derrick Favors, Derrick is gonna be a star. and could be doing it in Timberwolves colors

4.Golden State-SF/Westley Johnson
Golden State could use A SF like Westley Johnson on there team, He would be great in the open floor and after adding Steph Curry last year they add another amazing player....Curry,Ellis,Westley,Randolph,Beidrins sounds scary in the future as they grow.

5.Washington Wizards-C/Demarcus Cousins
Wizards add Demarcus Cousins! i think he has all star potential to be a great C in this league. Wizards get a great looking C to play with Arenas and Blatch.

6.Philadelphia 76ers-C/Cole Aldrich
I see Dalembert getting traded from 76ers in the offseason. 76ers could use a young C that works hard and hopefully turns into a better player then Dalembert.

7.Detroit Pistons-SF/Al-Farouq Aminu
Al-Farouqs D is what will attract Pistons to draft him with 7th overall. And hopefully can take Princes spot in the future.

8.La Clippers-C/Greg Monroe
Monroe would be a great player to build with Blake Griffin if they decide to Trade Chris Kaman.

9.Utah Jazz-PF/Ed Davis
With Boozer packing his bags...this pick is pretty obvious, they need more bigs.

10.Indiana Pacers-SG/Xavier Henry
This Draft has alot of Big men but i see the Pacers Going Small and getting Xavier Henry...this guy is a stud and i dont see him dropping out of the lottery because he has so much potential.

11.New Orleans Hornets-C/Daniel Orton
I think Hornets Pick Daniel Orton Because of the Potential and all the coaches and team management love him for some reason ...but i see a bust written all over this guy Hornets will regret passing on more high level talent in the draft. if it does work out tho he could be a Kendrick Perkins.

12.Memphis Grizzlies-PF/Donatas Motiejunas
This Guy has all the tools to be a match up nightmare for any PF guarding him, at best could become a Bargnani type player if so Memphis would get a Steal...if not hes a bust and Memphis regret this pick, could go either way.

13.Toronto Raptors-C/Hassan Whiteside
With Bosh walking out the door Raptors need another Big man...and Whiteside.... or should i call him upside because of all the potential he has, Would team well with Bargnani. Whiteside Future Jermain Oneal? before knee injury

14.Houston Rockets-PF/Ekpe Udoh
Ekpe Udoh's stalk is raising in the Draft and this would be a steal for the rockets in the draft...i see Rockets Grabbing him and having a solid Backup Big that can do some big things for there franchise if he Develops his skill set. potential 20ppg 10reb player?

15.Bucks-PF/Patrick Patterson
Bucks Get Patrick Patterson and add a powerhorse to play with Andrew Bogut, would be the best move for Bucks to add a solid PF in this draft considering it is filled with bigs.

16.Timberwolves-SF/Damion James
After Adding the best PF in the country to there team i see Wolves Going with a SF...They are lacking at the wing Position so this pick is a great addition to there team. could do big things as a starter in the NBA.

17.Bulls-Sg/James Anderson
Derrick Rose Could really use some help in another scorer and i see James Anderson being a big time help.

18.Heat-PG/Eric Bledsoe
I see Miami going with a pg in this Draft...Bledsoe would be a good backup for Mario Chalmers.

19.Celtics-C/Larry Sanders
Celtics Getting up in the age desperately need a Boost ...adding a young talented C like Larry Sanders to the team could be a boost they are looking for.

20.Spurs-PG/SG Willie Warren
I see Spurs Liken this kid and with Age being a Concern with the Spurs they could really use this guy
he is a steal for sure and is a great Combo Guard for the spurs to Develop. (Tony Parker Might get traded)

21.Thunder-SF/Stanley Robinson
Thunder Could really use this kid ...he is young, talented, and has all the tools to be a good rebounding Forward ...playing behind KD will limit him. But with his size 6'9 he could move to the PF and give them more Rebounding off the bench.

22.Blazers-SF/Paul George
Can someone say a steal...i see Paul George fitting in perfectly with the Blazers ...i see Batum more of a role player, adding Paul George you would get a Solid starting SF.

23.Timberwolves-C/Solomon Albi
I see Timberwolves going big again... and draft a C with lots of potential to get some rebounding and young athletic role players added to there team.

24.Hawks-SG/Avery Bradley
With the possibility of All star Guard Joe Johnson leaving for FA you need to get a Good guard with this pick and i see Avery Bradley being the best Guard available at this time. This could be a big steal look out! This could be the Monta Ellis of 2010.

25.Grizzlies-SG/Elliot Williams
Grizzlies Get Elliot Williams with this Pick...He can score with the best of them and is a solid 25th pick for the Grizzlies.

26.Thunder-PF/Gani Lawal
With Gani being a 2nd rounder i see Thunder using this pick on him to Add a post presence that they need more then a guard or a pg at this time.

27.Nets-SF/Devin Ebanks
Nets go with Devin Ebanks a solid SF with all the tools to become a great player Ebanks+Turner not a bad Draft for nets at all

28.Grizzlies-SF/Luke Babbit
Luke Babbit is a good player that avraged great numbers 21ppg and 8 reb would be a great prospect for a 28th pick ....could be a bust tho.

29.Magic-SG/Jordan Crawford
Magic Grab a great player in Jordan Crawford...with JJ reddicks future unknown Crawford could take JJ's position on the Magics team

30.Wizards-SF/Quincy Pondexter
Wizards go with a backup to Al thornton and maybe the BPA at this time.

DRAFT IS DEEP ALL THESE FIRST ROUNDERS ARE GREAT PLAYERS SO ITS HARD TO ORDER THEM BUT WHAT YOU THINK?

WINNERS OF THE DRAFT (GOT MOST ROOKIES AND TALENT)?
ARE MY PICKS ACCURATE NOW WITH THEM EDITED?

[rpa]

Warriors won the coin toss with the Wiz and thus will draft ahead of the Wiz in the case that neither moves into the top 3

[AQuintus]

Johnson isn't BPA at 3. Either Cousins or Favors would be BPA, and Minnesota would probably go Favors because they could use his athleticism and D.

Edit:

Also Bledsoe is a terrible pick. After getting Flynn, Rubio, and Sessions last year, the last thing the Wolves need is another small Point Guard. Just about everyone picked after him (with the exception of Lawal) would be better for the Wolves.

[TurkishThunder]

There's no way the Bucks will get Motiejunas. Skiles love aggressive guys that love taking it to the hole and play good D and Donatas is not that player

[Ballislife10]

REMEMBER THIS IS MY THOUGHTS ON THE DRAFT WHAT I THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN ....I JUST THINK WESTLEY JOHNSON HAS MORE ALL STAR POTENTIAL THEN DERRICK FAVORS, SO I THINK HE WOULD MOVE UP IN THE DRAFT. AND IF TIMBERWOLVES ARE PICKING THEY DONT NEED A BIG CONSIDERING THEY HAVE KEVIN LOVE AND AL JEFFERSON THEY NEED A WING THAT CAN SCORE AND WESTLEY JOHNSON IS THAT WING ....

AS FOR DONTAS GOING TO BUCKS...THIS GUY IS A 7 FOOT PF THAT CAN STRETCH THE D WITH A GREAT 3 POINT SHOT AND ALOT OF POTENTIAL....PLUS THEY NEED A BIG TO PLAY ALONG SIDE WITH ANDREW BOGUT.

AND ERIC BLEDSOE WILL PROLLY MOVE UP IN THE DRAFT BUT IF HE DOES FALL TO 23 I THINK WOLVES WOULD TAKE HIM CUZ HE WOULD BE THE BEST PLAYER AT THAT TIME LOOK AT ALL THE PLAYERS REMAINING AND TELL ME WHO IS BETTER THEN BLEDSOE...ALSO BLEDSOE CAN PLAY COMBO GUARD AS HE DID IN KENTUCKY WHEN WALL PLAYED PG...

IM JUST THINKING IN MY OPINION HERE YOU ALL HAVE YOUR OPINIONS ON IT....IM REALLY ONLY DOING THIS CUZ ON DRAFT DAY I WANNA LOOK AT MY DRAFT AND SEE HOW ACCURATE I GUESSED ALL THE PICKS.

Why did you post this if you didn't expect comments and/or criticism? And is the all caps necessary, except to annoy everyone?


And Johnson, Orton, and Whiteside far too high.

Bledsoe wouldn't get all the way to 23 (I'd expect some like the Pacers to either pick him outright or trade down for him), but if he did, the Wolves sure wouldn't pick him.

Anything can happen in the draft ...no one expected wolves to pick 2 PG'S with there picks last year but they did right? who else would they pick if Bledsoe was available at 23? wolves could draft and then trade him for a sg or something...the draft is really unpredictable so it don't really matter

Who would they pick? How about one of the several players who have about the same talent, but fit much better? Paul George, Alabi, Damion James, Pondexter, hell, even Terrico White.

And again, why bother posting if you don't expect discussion and criticism?

I do expect discussion but why argue my picks? i'm just doing it for fun...its not like my draft is gonna be right anyway lol soo chill...and if you look at my draft...Paul George taken 22, alabi takin 18th, James taken 17th, only Pondexter and white aren't picked...Bledsoe is a much better talent then them both.

[funkatron101]

I really like the idea of Johnson to the Wolves, but I think at #3 the Wolves can pick Favors and trade down to get Johnson + incentives.
