Flame away!

I think Harris is a lower upside guy, so he will have trouble cracking the lotto. Good player though. Not too high on the Euros huh?

I think Harris has a lot of current Millsap to him with a better foundation for a perimeter game. He doesn't have star potential, but I think he has high level starter potential with an immediate instant impact, so I don't see much of a problem with him going late lotto.

I don't know much about the Euro's outside of Vesely, Kanter and Moteijunas, so for now I erred on the side of caution, plus I'm not big on Moteijunas even if he declares.

Vesely has digressed. Motiejunas is not even worthy of lottery. Either Kanter or Valanciunas will go in top 3, most likely Kanter since he's a college player. Valanciunas has the most upside of any big man in draft, but he might not declare. Overall, it looks like poor draft for European-International players.

Milsap is a pretty good example, and also a 2nd round pick. Every year a guy like that falls too far because of their low upside.

I mean I mainly agree with the concept, a majority of the time it seems to reign true, but at the same time if scouts and GM's were in agreement that Elias Harris was going to be just like Millsap with even bigger potential as a perimeter scorer, I think they would take a player like that in the late lotto, that ceiling is a pretty high one.

I approve of the lofty ranking of Alec Burks, I think he's going to be a phenom this year.

Barnes is a good pick for the Warriors. Good mock overall IMO, no one strikes me as way too high or too low.

Jeff Taylor - Vanderbilt?

Kyle Single doesn't go 1st round? Not sure I believe that.

I don't see the outrage here? They certainly may go in the first, but around pick 18 to 20 is probably both's ceiling and it would be one of those half reach picks where everyone is like, he'll probably be a role player so he's solid value, but how could you pick that guy over player A, B, C, D, etc.

Chris Singleton should go long before Marcus Morris.

Yeah, I didn't know exactly where to slot him.

I wouldn't go higher then where I have Morris right now, probably should have Morris a touch lower with Singleton a spot or two before him, but honestly I don't know, Morris could easily go before him when it's all over with.

Don't get me wrong I like Klay Thompson, but do you really think he'll go 10th?

Anyways I like the Kings going with Knight if they end up with the 5th.

I hope you're right about Singleton to the notSonics. Frankly, I don't think he will still be there at 24. I'd be content if we got Honeycutt or Harris.

I really think he has one more big jump in store for him.

He's cracked the lotto in both major mocks for a couple updates before going back into the late teens, but I think he's one of the most overlooked players in this draft.

His advanced stats are almost a mirror image of Alec Burks.

I don't understand how people watch this kid play and don't see the potential for him to be a very good player in the NBA.

I don't think Cory Joseph is going to drop past the Knicks.
