With the first couple of picks in the second round coming from
Will Barton
Khris Middleton
Jared Cunningham

Waiters to the pistons?

Yeah...that was one of the trickier spots, but I'm thinking they just go BPA, and trade if it comes to a logjam.

Not my first option but Cleveland's pairing of MKG and Nicholson makes some sense.
Can't imagine Barnes dropping to #7.
Hornets end up with Davis and Lamb....that's a lot of potential right there.

29 (Bulls) - Tony Wroten Jr

Nope

Fair enough...who do you think they'd take (assuming the talent available if it goes as I had listed...)
I was kinda thinking they needed to play fill the gaps in the backcourt, since Rose is MIA, and they have a mixed bag besides him, so thought a combo guard would be useful, now and into the future.

Course, if they trade Deng, them might be more interested in a SF, I guess...but I'm not sure they'll get value for him, so I'm guessing they keep him.

Bucks don't take Zeller over Henson or Ross. So that's wrong.

I hope you're right, for the Bucks sake. Zeller smells like bust to me, but someone will jump...

Well there are rumors Bucks are interested in trading up for Drummond or Henson so if they stay at 12 and Henson is there I cant see them passing up on him. Plus a poster on the Bucks board who has inside info and is always dead on said the Bucks love a specific wing and know that he will be the pick if he falls. He wouldn't name names but that's what he said. I'm thinking it's Lamb.

Billy McKinney pretty much shot down any rumors of Zeller being the guy for MKE when he pretty much said he's nothing special and isn't a starter caliber player in the NBA. That's one hell of a smokescreen if u publicly put someone down all the while he's ur main target.

Andre Drummond, Jeremy Lamb, Terrence Ross, John Henson, Fab Melo is looking like the Bucks short list at this point IMO. In what order, I wish I knew. I do know a trade up would be for Drummond and staying at 12 will probably result in Lamb or Ross because Henson likely goes 9 to Detroit.

Just my opinion. Sorry if I came off condescending. Who really knows what's in store for Thursday other than Davis goes #1 right? Lol. Nice mock tho. 1 thing I might change is Miami's pick as I think they would just about jump for joy if Fab Melo falls to 27, I couldn't see them passing on him considering how great of a fit he would be.

U really think Detroit goes Waiters at 9?? That might mess things up for my Bucks. I'm hoping that was just a shot in the dark on ur end and not inside scoop u have lol.

I could see the Bucks going for Lamb, but I think he'll be gone. Waiters was...well...not quite a shot in the dark, but just based on a bunch of stuff I've read. Certainly not inside word, but I thought the Pistons would go for a SG before the Gordon trade (barring a Drummond slip or something), and I still kinda feel that way.

You really have Melo as a potential Bucks pick? Eeew...just personal opinion, but I'm not a fan. I agree with you on the Miami thing though. I switched him and Ezeli back and forth a couple of times for that Heat pick, since they seemed the obvious big guys.

Oh, and no sweat on the condescending thing. The whole point of putting this stuff up is to pass a bit of time, talk basketball, and get shot down, right??

i love rivers to toronto

Ive just been hearing so much this whole time about Detroit going big, especially taking Henson that I didnt even think about Waiters going 9. Could happen forsure. I'm just really hoping for the Bucks sakes theres atleast a mini run on bigs and Lamb and/or Ross falls because I believe 1 will be the pick. Even Chad Fords last mock has MKE taking Ross so thats a good sign.

I'm on the fence about Melo still myself, but, Bucks ppl are reporting they like him a lot and would atleast consider him at 12. Apparently when MKE had Leonard, Zeller and Melo all in together for a workout, Fab looked like an all star and Leonard and Zeller looked like stiffs compared to him.

For crying out loud don't draft the big white stiff, hence my user name. No city should know that better than Milwaukee. Of course don't draft a great athlete with no basketball skills to speak of either-Alexander, Haislip...unless a once in a decade physical specimen at center like Drummond. Give me Lamb, Ross, Waiters, or Melo at 12.
If Drummond is on the board at 6 it will be one of the greatest moments in draft history.
Do the Blazers roll the dice one more time? Or are they gun shy after the Oden and Bowie disasters?

Waiters will not be selected by Detroit, this is ridiculous.

Pretty easy to throw my pick under the bus, since chances are most picks in any mock draft will be wrong. I'd be more interested to hear why it's ridiculous? My thinking was as follows;

With Ben Gordon gone, and Maggette coming in, there is a SG sized whole in the roster, unless you think Stuckey is going to revive himself. If Drummond drops to Detroit, I think they'd go that way, but I'm not projecting that to happen. Leaves Henson, Meyers, Zeller or maybe the Jones' if they're going bigger, and to be honest I think Waiters is a better option, albeit less reward potentially, compared to Henson.

If they're not going big, but go SG, they could definately choose someone different...like a Lamb, based on my mock. But that wouldn't make my pick ridiculous, just wrong.

Bucks trade for Sam Dalembert today and move back to 14 from 12. Probably hoping none of Henson Leonard Zeller are still there to make the choice easier.

John Hammond says he's going BPA at 14 but he doesn't think MKE is "done dealing" whatever that entails. Need Detroit at 9 and Portland at 11 to take 2 of Henson Zeller Leonard. Gotta also believe Houston is thinking they need to draft a center Orlando could see as a future replacement for Howard. Obviously whoever it is won't be half of Howard but that's gotta be the mind frame right?

Bucks could take Melo at 14 now but IMO they believe Ross or Lamb has a good chance of falling because neither is probably on PHX or Houstons list. If both are gone, it sounded like Billy McKinney really took a liking to Terrence Jones and Perry Jones after thier workout together. Things will get super interesting 2mrw. Won't be surprised if Bucks use Moute to acquire another 1st or use him with 14 to move into top 10. Sucks cuz Moute is an elite defender but he's the unfortunate odd man out in MKE cuz Gooden is a straight hack that probably has negative league value, Ersan is a UFA, Sanders is really starting to come around and could turn into an excellent defensive anchor like Daly and Ekpe has shown he may have a bright future as well. Luc holds the most value in the group cuz he's the most proven commodity and under a reasonable contract for a few more years.
