PacerGuy's '11 Mock

[PacerGuy]

Here's mine, as of 6/5 - Rd. 1 & thru the Pacers pick in (#42) in rd. 2. I stop there only because (to be honest) I would be pushing my knowledge, and would only be doing so by stealing from others.

I'm sorry but your clearly a PAcers fan who thinks they can get Biyombo without moving up. I don't think he goes out of the top 10. That right there makes this extremely flawed.

Same thing with Jackson. He's a first rounder, no way Indy can get him in the middle of the 2nd round.

[detroitKG]

its a pipe dream if you think you get bismack without moving up...nice try

[sicknastydunker]

Reggie Jackson has top 10 talent. I have him in the top 10 in my big board, bismack is #4 on my big board, no way

[Day_Man]

gimme Brooks over Selby... just sayin

Draft Express has Biyombo @ 10 & NBADraft has him @ 14, & I'm a fool for having him @ 15?
Hell, I think he COULD drop to Philly @ 16 - not likely, but with him not working out for anyone, questions on his age & uncertainity about his skill level transfering to NBA talent, he COULD drop. He appears to have a lot of raw talent, but also carries a lot of unanswered questions. Not too many people can afford to swing & miss w/ a lottery pick, so all bets are off on Biyombo, IMO.

As for Jackson, again, Draft Express has him @ 31, NBADraft has him @ 39, & I'm killed for suggesting he slides to 42? Again, unlikely yes, but with him being hurt & missing the combine workouts it has not exactly driven up his stock. Just because C.Ford has him as a top 20 guy who could rise does not make him a first round lock. Sure, there is a high level of athleticism there, but others with higher projections have slipped further.

Now sure, you are 100% correct this would be an ideal draft for te Pacers, but I have taken a look @ many other mocks, read articles & rumors, etc & put together MY mock. If I wanted to put exactly what everyone else had, why bother? I have yet to see anyone get one perfect, so while I could be dead wrong on those picks, I believe there is solid justification for every pick - & yet like most it will likely be off more then it is on, & as ststed is subject to change.

That said, thanks for the feedback...

I don't expect a Cle/Min trade at the top. If there was one they certainly wouldn't make it until after Utah passes on Kanter. If that's who Minny really wants they have to take him at #2. Either way yourtop 4 are collectively correct - I think.

I'd be interested in seeing McHale's influence on the Rockets pick if it came down to Montie and Biyombo. I don't think the latter slides that far unless something is confirmed to be up with his age.

Washington adds Vesely and Hamilton, that would be fun to watch.

[gswhoops]

Warriors have been rumored to be heavily interested in two guys - Klay Thompson and Biyombo. I can't see us passing up BOTH of them for Marcus Morris.

[coordinator0]

Biyombo is fine for Detroit at 8, but why Selby over Jenkins, Cole, and Smith in the 2nd? All three would be MUCH better fits and I don't think Selby's value is significantly higher either.
