MOCK DRAFT using players that chose NOT to enter 2011 Draft 

Post#1 » by MitchSlapped » Thu Jun 9, 2011 10:03 am

Make a mock draft for how ever long you want it to be using marquee players that chose not to enter this year's draft (Barnes, Sullinger, the Jones'). At this point we should have a good idea of the direction of this draft, so decide where these players would get selected at this point.

1. Cavs - Kyrie Irving
2. Wolves - Jared Sullinger
3. Jazz - Harrison Barnes
4. Cavs - Derrick Williams, IMO Barnes and Williams would go 3 and 4, not sure what order
5. Raptors - Enes Kanter
6. Wizards - Perry Jones
7. Kings - Brandon Knight
8. Pistons - Kemba Walker - I know they want a big, but I doubt they'd pass on Kemba.
9. Bobcats - Jonas Valanciunas
10. Bucks - Terrence Jones, IMO Jonas and Jones will go 8 and 9, not sure what order.
11. Warriors - Jan Vesely
12. Jazz - Jimmer Fredette
13. Suns - Marcus Morris
14. Rockets - Klay Thompson
15. Pacers - Alec Burks
16. Sixers - Bismack Biyombo
17. Knicks - Tristian Thompson
18. Wizards - Kawhi Leonard
19. Bobcats - Jordan Hamilton
20. Wolves - Chris Singleton
21. Blazers - Donatas Motiejunas
22. Nuggets - Markieff Morris
23. Rockets - Nikola Vucevic
24. Thunder - Lucas Nogueira
25. Celtics - Kenneth Faried
26. Mavs - Tobias Harris
27. Nets - Josh Selby
28. Bulls - Jeremy Tyler
29. Spurs - Marshon Brooks
30. Bulls - Darius Morris

I hate looking at this because of what could have been for the Jazz. Barnes would be an amazing addition. A no-brainer pick.
Jazz_Man_86 on Favors:

"He is not Dwight Howard. He's max is 20 + 13 + 2 = is this a supers tats? No."

Dwight 2011-2012 - 20.6 Points - 14.5 Rebounds - 2.1 Blocks

In this situation the Raptors pick would be Perry Jones or Brandon Knight

This one stings a little as a Cavalier fans. Really I just wanted one more guy in....and I would have taken Barnes #1.

Terrence Jones is too high here. If he were really a top ten pick, he would never have gone back to UK. Also, Jeremy Lamb, Tyler Zeller, and John Henson need to be added to this mock. They certainly would have been first round picks had they declared.

Also, there is no way with all those guys available that Minnesota would take a PF at #2.

Cool concept though.

Wolves take Harrison Barnes in this situation with no hesitation
"That's why the last two years weren't guaranteed," Walsh said. "Either way, he knew it could have happened either way."
