Mock Draft 2015 post lottery night no trades
Posted: Wed May 20, 2015 1:51 am
1 Timberwolves - Karl Anthony Towns C - They go versatile over great post play
2 Lakers- Jahlil Okafor C - I think personally this is a reach, but could be a solid Center in the League
3 76ers - D’Angelo Russell SG/PG - they go with option MCW 2.0
4 Knicks- Emmanuel Mundaiy PG - solid point guard, I expect them to trade down for Kaminsky and other compensation
5 Magic- Kristaps Porzingis PF - bit of a reach, but they dont need the others
6 Kings - Willie Cauley-Stein C - should work well next to Boogie
7 Nuggets - Mario Hezonja SG - they love those foreign guys
8 Pistons - Justise Winslow SF - Draft stock has been dropping
9 Hornets - Stanley Johnson SF - solid stretch, hornets smart to take him here
10 Heat - Kelly Oubre Jr SF - solid long term guy who can take the role of Deng in the long term
11 Pacers -Frank Kaminsky C-Pacers could do much worse than Kaminsky here,would not be surprised if trade with knicks for Mudaiy
12 Jazz -Kevon Looney PF - I fully expect Jazz to trade this pick, but looney wouldnt be a bad backup to favors
13 Suns -Myles Turner PF/C - Can contribute right away, some say he should be higher, others lower, Suns take him after no Kaminsky
14 Thunder - Sam Dekker SF - If Durant is going to be hurt or worse, leave via FA, then Dekker could be the glue that holds it together
15 Hawks -Devin Booker SG - Hawks get almost a steal with Booker at 15, can fit in their system well
16 Celtics -Robert Upshaw C - Celtics take a chance on Upshaw despite off court concerns to have an above rim defender
17 Bucks - Trey Lyles PF - Could be a solid contributor for the bucks moving forward, even in a bigman heavy roster
18 Wizards -Bobby Portis PF - Long term solution to the aging NENE and a solid player off the bench first few years
19 Rockets -Jerian Grant PG - Rockets are in desperate need of a backup point, they could do worse than grant
20 Raptors- Rondae Hollis-Jefferson SG - Look for the raptors to target moving Terrance Ross this offseason
21 Mavericks- RJ Hunter SG - Could be a steal at 21 or a bust, but at 21 its worth the chance
22 Bulls-Cameron Payne PG - gives the Bulls another backup point with Rose having a history of injuries
23 Trailblazers- Montrezl Harrell PF - Many ways the Blazers could go, but no Aldrige forces their hand, even if he is undersized
24 Cavaliers -Tyus Jones PG - Kyrie can always take a solid backup option and Jones will give a spark off the bench
25 Grizzlies - Justin Anderson SF - The grizzlies are a grind it out team like UVA and are in need of athleticism and 3s in the worst way
26 Spurs - Tyler Harvey SG - Spurs do their homework and realize he is a scoring machine, and with Green/Bellinelli as FA...
27 Lakers - Delon Wright PG - Lakers will still need a decent point guard, clarkson has flourished, but could always use another option
28 Celtics - Terry Roizer III PG - With Smart looking the part of starter going forward, Celtics still reach for Roizer, but could pay off
29 Nets - Christian Wood PF - Wood is extremely underrated and with a team that needs help in the worst way, Wood is a good project
30 Golden State - Norman Powell SG - GS doesnt have any pressing needs, powell makes for an even more deadly transition game
2 Lakers- Jahlil Okafor C - I think personally this is a reach, but could be a solid Center in the League
