Official Magic_Johnny12 Lottery Mock

[Magic_Johnny12]

First crack at this

1. New York - Karl-Anthony Towns (7'1'', C, Kentucky, Fresh.)

True 7ft that can play on both sides of the floor. Potential and upside greater than Okafor and could immediately contribute to NY and many will say is better to build around compared to a non defensive center like Okafor.

2. Minnesota - Jahlil Okafor (6'11'', C, Duke, Fresh.)

Minnesota desperately needs a replacement for Pekovic and Okafor will look very nice aside Minny's current core.

3. Philadelphia - Emmanuel Mudiay (6'4'', PG, Congo)

Philly gambles on a true PG in Mudiay rather than another combo guard in Russell.

4. LA Lakers - Mario Hezonja (6'7'', SG, Croatia)

Hezonja will kill workouts and I think LA will reach, could be the next Klay Thompson but better athletically. LA need's star power and from recent reports it seems as Hezonja has the mentality to be exactly that. Also could be a Kobe replacement if the hype is real, I do not think LA takes a guard here.

5. Orlando - D'Angelo Russell (6'4'', PG, Ohio State, Fresh.)

Russell falls too far for Orlando not to draft him. Even though it's not the best fit with Oladipo/Payton there but I think Henny will find a way to make it work and with a new coach a 3 guard rotation of Payton-Dipo-Russell could be deadly.

6. Sacramento - Kristaps Porzingis (7'0'', PF, Latvia)

Sac goes euro and potentially be the best fit for Cousins in the draft. Porzing can be exactly what Cousins needs next to him, true 7ft with defensive potential.

7. Denver - Justise Winslow (6'6'', SF, Duke, Fresh.)

Denver want's to get younger and now can collect future assets for Chandler/Gallanari and drafts a stud in Winslow that fits perfect in their youth movement.

8. Detroit - Stanley Johnson (6'6'', SF, Arizona, Fresh.)

Stanley falls in the perfect situation to Detroit and is an immediate upgrade and can start on a defensive minded team.

9. Indiana - Willie Cauley-Stein (7'0'', C, Kentucky, Jr.)

Indiana has been quietly shopping Hibbert and will not resign him and gets a perfect assurance/replacment in WCS

10. Charlotte - Frank Kaminsky (7'0'', C, Wisconsin, Sr.)

Frank the tank lands in a perfect situation in Charlotte, has time to develop under Jefferson and could play big minutes if Charlotte decides not to match any big offers for Biyombo.

This is where I think it get's tricky..

11. Boston - Kelly Oubre (6'7'', SF, Kansas, Fresh.)

Will be immediate upgrade and I feel as Boston will look for the most NBA ready player w/ the most upside in the draft and Oubre was considered a top 5 pick not so long ago.

12. Utah - Jakob Poeltl (7'0'', C, Utah, Fresh.)

Jakob doesn't have to move far and fills an immediate need of depth in the center position in Utah.

13. Phoenix - Myles Turner (6'11'', C, Texas, Fresh.)

I feel in the near future phoenix will move one of the twins and their lack of center depth makes Turner make that much more sense.

14. Houston - Kris Dunn (6'3'', PG, Providence, Soph.)

With the injury to Beverly and him being a free agent and Houstons lack of PG depth I feel Houston looks for best PG available.

Not bad/illogical choices. Some comments though

- I'm not sure if Char would take Frank Kaminisky, at this point you would have to think they are all-in with Al Jefferson. Wouldn't they want/need a better wing with Lance Stephenson collapsing? One that could shoot would probably be ideal to play alongside MKG. A PF to have as insurance since Vonleh contributions is relatively up in the air at this point in his career wouldn't be a bad choice. I don't believe Frank can play PF like some people think.

Very minor gripe, but I'm not sure why Minny would want to replace Pek with someone who may have similar weaknesses. Pek wasn't a good fit for Minny, wouldn't they want a defensive anchor first?

1st off thanks for the reply and feedback, much appreciated!

All in w/ Al Jefferson? If he opts out (highly doubtful) Charlotte will be jumping for joy. With his consistent injuries and inconsistent play AND the somewhat emergence of Biyombo (which is due for a big contract) I don't see how they don't take Frank here and that's IF he drop's this low, a big game from him Saturday night could sky rocket his value and prove that he might be the 3rd best center in the draft and some will debate that he could be 2nd best...

I understand your point and very valid point but if Charlotte is "all-in" w/ anyone it's Stephenson which JUST signed a contract so until they can trade him I don't see them replacing him with a rookie and IF they did there's not many rookies that will could immediately contribute more than Stephenson at the position they're picking.

Also last thing on Charlotte, I'm not really familiar w/ their cap situation but if the wing position is indeed a necessity there's plenty of players they could get via fee agency/trade...

Just to name a few (somewhat realistic)
-Affalo
-Matthews
-McDaniels
-Fournier
-Crawford
-Green (Gerald & Danny)

Minnesota - Pek in his prime is what Okafor is coming out of college. You simply don't pass up on talent like that and if they did for who? Mudiay/Russell when they're already invested in Rubio/Lavine? You draft Okafor without any hesitation and don't look back and make it work. Also w/ Wiggins/Rubio/Dieng actually playing respectful defense maybe they could cloud Okafors short comings?

Once again thanks for the feedback!

I have no problems in them drafting Okafor for BPA, but I found it odd to mention Peklovic there as if he was a huge impact player, when he was a decent player at best.

I also think it would be costly for the Timberwolves to over value Zach Lavine, I dont' think they've really gone all in with him, he was a mid first rounder, and the chances of him being a good PG like they want is pretty low I think.

There are a few players who I'd take over Okafor, but I see your point.

[pacers33granger]

Would love for us to nab WCS but not sure he falls to us unless teams fall in love with the potential of younger guys.

Let's hear them I'm really intrigued in who you think Minny should pick besides the consensus #1 pick for almost 2 yrs now...

I also agree with Lavine, but he's a career back up at best and Rubio just signed a huge extension so he fits perfect.

[Magic_Johnny12]

Would love for us to nab WCS but not sure he falls to us unless teams fall in love with the potential of younger guys.

You're right but the ONLY team I see picking him before Indiana is Denver but I highly doubt w/ the emergence of Nurcic (sp)

Imagine a young team of

- Lawson (could trade for a lot of youth and is on the block)
- Gary Harris
- Winslow
- Faried
- Nurkic



Still have Chandler/Gallanari to deal for more assets. Denver is going to surprise a lot of people once they get rid of their dead weight.

[HeartBreakKid]

Let's hear them I'm really intrigued in who you think Minny should pick besides the consensus #1 pick for almost 2 yrs now...

Unless the definition of the word consensus has changed, Okafor is not the consensus #1 pick - I mean he's not even the #1 pick in your mock. I also don't understand how that is even relevant when evaluating players (who cares what people thought of him in HS?).

As to answer your question, I'd take Towns, Russell and Hezonja over Okafor if I had a big board.

As for the Timberwolves, they should take Towns if he wasn't picked #1 - if not I would still take Russell and Hezonja - they're a bottom feeding team with their vets either being injury prone or out the door, I wouldn't worry too much about positional clutter. (I think they can live with Dieng as their C also).

[KF10]

Kings are not wasting Cousins' prime any more longer. They want to win RIGHT NOW. Porzingis does not make any sense for them. The Kings would rather opt for WCS or Winslow.

So draft players that will be coming off the bench? That worked out so well with Staukas right?

Porzingis will be an immediate upgrade and will contribute more than ANY current PF on Sac's current team.

I'm sorry I just don't understand your logic, you think WCS will help yah win RIGHT NOW more than Porzingis?

Porzingis is going to need at least 2-3 years to get used to physicality of the NBA. He also needs to mentally toughen up.

WCS is a junior and is NBA ready compared to Porzingis.

I actually like Porzingis but if WCS or Winslow are still available, I choose them over Porzingis for the Kings.

Why do I feel like you are under the impression that WCS can play PF and Winslow can play SG.....I hope that's not your reasoning.

[KF10]

Rudy, WCS & Cousins is a formidable frontcourt.

What's wrong with that?

Winslow would play SF in the Kings' set up.

[Magic_Johnny12]

Update after championship game..

1. New York - Karl-Anthony Towns (7'1'', C, Kentucky, Fresh.)

True 7ft that can play on both sides of the floor. Potential and upside greater than Okafor and could immediately contribute to NY and many will say is better to build around compared to a non defensive center like Okafor.

2. Minnesota - Jahlil Okafor (6'11'', C, Duke, Fresh.)

Minnesota desperately needs a replacement for Pekovic and Okafor will look very nice aside Minny's current core.

3. Philadelphia - Emmanuel Mudiay (6'4'', PG, Congo)

Philly gambles on a true PG in Mudiay rather than another combo guard in Russell.

4. LA Lakers - Justise Winslow (6'6'', SF, Duke, Fresh.)

Lakers get the most NBA ready wing available to pair up with Kobe. He knows what it takes to win and plays on both sides of the court. Winslow will come in and be a perfect protege to Kobe and instantly start. I also really think Love goes to LA and with the avail PG/Center FA's and the emergence of Clarkson I do not see LA taking a guard or big man here. A core of Clarkson.Kobe.Winslow.Love.FA (Gasol/DJ/Monroe) is very young and formidable.

5. Orlando - D'Angelo Russell (6'4'', PG, Ohio State, Fresh.)

Russell falls too far for Orlando not to draft him. Even though it's not the best fit with Oladipo/Payton there but I think Henny will find a way to make it work and with a new coach a 3 guard rotation of Payton-Dipo-Russell could be deadly.

6. Sacramento - Kristaps Porzingis (7'0'', PF, Latvia)

Sac goes euro and potentially be the best fit for Cousins in the draft. Porzing can be exactly what Cousins needs next to him, true 7ft with defensive potential.

7. Denver - Mario Hezonja (6'7'', SG, Croatia)

Hezonja will kill workouts and could be the next Klay Thompson but better athletically. With Denver trying to get young and more than likely move Gallanari/Chandler, Hezonja could fit perfectly in their system.

8. Detroit - Stanley Johnson (6'6'', SF, Arizona, Fresh.)

Stanley falls in the perfect situation to Detroit and is an immediate upgrade and can start on a defensive minded team.

9. Indiana - Willie Cauley-Stein (7'0'', C, Kentucky, Jr.)

Indiana has been quietly shopping Hibbert and will not resign him and gets a perfect assurance/replacment in WCS

10. Charlotte - Frank Kaminsky (7'0'', C, Wisconsin, Sr.)

Frank the tank lands in a perfect situation in Charlotte, has time to develop under Jefferson and could play big minutes if Charlotte decides not to match any big offers for Biyombo.

11. Boston - Sam Dekker (6'9'', SF, Wisconsin, Jr.)

Will be immediate upgrade and I feel as Boston will look for the most NBA ready player w/ the most upside in the draft and w/ the emergence of Sam Dekker and comparisons to Hayward I feel as he will be a perfect fit.

12. Utah - Jakob Poeltl (7'0'', C, Utah, Fresh.)

Jakob doesn't have to move far and fills an immediate need of depth in the center position in Utah.

13. Phoenix - Myles Turner (6'11'', C, Texas, Fresh.)

I feel in the near future phoenix will move one of the twins and their lack of center depth makes Turner make that much more sense.

14. Houston - Kris Dunn (6'3'', PG, Providence, Soph.)

With the injury to Beverly and him being a free agent and Houstons lack of PG depth I feel Houston looks for best PG available.

A bit too convenient that a top 4 player falls to your Magic....not saying it couldn't happen, but a bit of wishful thinking IMO

[Magic_Johnny12]

A bit too convenient that a top 4 player falls to your Magic....not saying it couldn't happen, but a bit of wishful thinking IMO

I personally do NOT want Russell and is not a great fit with our current roster. If he falls should we draft him? Of course with the possibility of moving him for more impactful players.

Towns and Okafor are a lock for 1 & 2

I do not think Philly gambles on another combo guard and trys to hit a home run with Mudiay as he is very much compared to John Wall and with Wrotten coming back that is a similar player in Russell I stand pat w/ them not wanting to draft Russell and Mudiay being more attractive to them.

LA literally just spoke on the emergence of Clarkson and how it WILL effect how they draft. They also have been linked to Rondo/Westbrook and about every big name PG FA available. I highly doubt they use a lotto pick on a position of redundancy and rather get the most NBA ready player in someone like Winslow that knows about winning and could fit perfect with Kobe and their young core.

That leaves Russell dropping to 5th and even though Orlando has Payton/Oladipo in their back court yesterday's game Orlando closed out Chicago with a three guards on the floor and I could certainly see Henny making it work with Russell. Orlando should be picking BPA at this point of the rebuild anyway so the fit I really don't see being an issue.

Not wishful thinking at all, obviously anything could happen and the draft order will change A LOT. Also I am pretty sure people will rise /drop when workouts begin.....and even though Duke won the championship I could really see Jahill dropping to 4-5 range.

What are you talking about? Tony Wroten is nothing like D'angelo Russell. Russell had one of the most efficient offensive seasons for a freshman in college basketball history. He's a 40% 3pt shooter. Wroten was a 25% 3pt shooter. Have you seen these players?
