Notes: The rise of Elfrid Payton, GRIII struggles with jumpshot, Laquinton Ross loses PT to Marc Loving, Hammons struggles to stay out of foul trouble, Kaleb Tarczewski far too raw for NBA.

I like that you have a notes section to explain any changes. You seem very high on Hammons. Anything you see there that you think the rest of us are missing?

His skill level is high for a 7 footer and he has soft hands, just not sure if he is there mentally, he is also very foul prone currently. I think he is a guy who will rise a lot during the combine and during workouts. If he commits himself this season to getting in shape than the sky is the limit for him IMO.

11/21/2013
Notes: dug deeper into my analysis and looked at all of the stats of everyone on my mock. A couple of things that stood out to me: Semaj Christon is shooting 14% from three and 50% from the line on 9 attempts, that's very discouraging and shows that the form in his shot is mechanically broken. I don't see a lottery pick when I watch him. However, his FG% is > 60% which is pretty impressive. Also, Olivier Hanlan is a beast. He has a well-rounded game and is physically a beast, 6'4" 185 is a lot for opposing pg's to handle, he needs to work on his decision making skills. Elfrid Payton is a force, he needs to cur down on his turnovers. Jordan Adams looks much improved and is the best player on UCLA. If GRIII hasn't improved his jumper I don't see him as a quality nba player, Jordan Clarkson is a 6'5 SG who can't shoot, I don't understand the 1st round projections he is getting. Shabazz Napier is a beast, I think he will be a premier back up in the NBA. Hammons potential as a defensive anchor is too attractive to pass up, he has been averaging 6 blocks a game so far this season. Smart might not be a PG, his assist to TO ratio is 1-1. Andrew Harrison is underrated, his 3 point shot has looked great and he doesn't turn it over. Harris and Young have been shooting 30% from three which is rather unimpressive. However Young takes around 7 per game so I understand why. Keith Appling has transformed himself into a PG some how, Assist to TO ratio is 3-1 and he is shooting 62% from three on 3.3 attempts.

Gutsy pick. Taking Andrew Harrison in the top 10. I think he will have to show a little more for a lottery team to take that leap, at this point. But its not impossible.

Where is Jerami Grant, Syracuse? Lottery for sure.

I knew I was forgetting someone. I think he would be foolish to declare, he's still very raw and has no perimeter game at all. He's a physical and athletic freak though so he has plenty of upside.

Grant reminds me of Julian Wright. Too small to be a PF. Have enough perimeter skill to go with athleticism to take advantage in college but not enough to do anything in the NBA at this stage.

Interesting PG prospects. And the notSonics will be looking for a 3rd PG as insurance against Jackson leaving in June 2015. But I don't think we draft two PGs. If we keep the picks, I think one is used on a PF. Adrien Payne has got to be high on our list. To bad you're showing he's gone by #21... which I agree he will be.

I forgot to mention that I don't account for team need, at least I haven't had enough time to make adjustments for that. This is much more of a big board than anything else. I think Payton would be a great fit for the NotSonics, he has huge defensive upside and is only 19 years old. I also think Burton could be a Jackson carbon copy. An Athletic slashing score first PG who has good P&R instincts and long arms. Payne will definitely be gone by OKC's pick, his stock will only increase with the combine approaching next week. He's extremely long and his athleticism will be on full display. He has a vertical greater than 40 inches which is just freaky for a stretch 4. If he didn't have asthma he would be a top 10 prospect no doubt.

Very good mock. Agree with most things except that if this is based on current Draft order, I don't see the Celtics selecting Julius Randle (Sullinger), the 76ers selecting Doug McDermott (Analytics) or the Thunder selecting Shabazz Napier (length).

If this is a big board, then I don't agree with Randle over Vonleh, or McDermott over Aaron Gordon and Nik Stauskas.

Yikes. Embiid at 8? Unless he has some serious back issues I don't see it.
