Post lottery mock draft
Posted: Sat May 23, 2015 6:26 pm
Wolves take Towns (easy choice for them)
Lakers take Okafor (no need for PG, love Clarkson, plus there the favs to land Rondo, + PG will be available at 27)
Philly take Russell (they need scoring bad, someone who can shoot the 3 ball and Russell will also do a great job of feeding the ball to Embiid and Noel)
Knicks take Mudiay ( easy selection, get the PG of the future in the draft, get Monroe in FA, 11m still left in cap, big improvement already)
Magic take Porzingis (might be the best player in the draft, love the fit next to Vucevic)
Kings take WCS (they need defense help down low, going to be fun watching him next to Cousins)
Nugs take Winslow (they said Galo is part of the future, he fits in very well next to him, they need help at SG/SF, love this pick)
Pistons take Stanley Johnson (believe he a better fit then Hezonja bc of his all around game)
Hornets take Hezonja (Hezonja gonna be a very good nba player, Hornets need shooting bad this would be a easy choice for them)
Heat take Booker (Need depth behind Wade + plus some scoring off the bench)
Pacers take Turner (Hibbert on his way out, Turner is the kind of player there looking for in a big)
Jazz take Kaminsky (he will fit in great with Favors and Gobert)
Suns take Upshaw (they need a big who can protect the rim, Upshaw potential is very high, they might look to trade down here, but this is a easy selection here, Bill Walton has been mentoring this kid hope he stays out of trouble)
Thunder take Payne (Need a PG behind Westbrook, Payne is the best PG on the board)
Hawks
Hawks take Dekker (Carroll prob. leaves in free agency leaving a whole at SF)
Celtics take Oubre (can't pass up on the potential in Oubre at 16)
Bucks take Looney (love this fit with Looney is he can reach his potential to go with Giannis and Parker)
Rockets take Jones (taking Jones over Grant here for Rockets bc of his ability to shoot, Rockets need PG help, Bev is a restricted free agent, Terry and Prig are there 2 PG right now with Bev out)
Wiz take Lyles (Wiz very happy Lyles is here, will fit in nice at the 4 bc of his ability to stretch the floor)
Raptors take Portis (think they go PF here, Portis is the clear best PF left on the board)
Mavs take Grant (with Rondo out Mavs gonna need a PG, not gonna spend big money to get one in free agency so they will address it here)
Bulls take RJ Hunter (easy selection here, think he ends up cracking starting lineup with Rose Butler Gasol Noah)
Blazkers take Harrell ( need depth at PF, also think he could thrive playing next to Aldridge)
Cavs take Anderson (Cavs need to improve the bench, love the the fit with Anderson toughness defense and can score)
Griz take Jefferson (they need depth at SF, love his defense, best player on the board)
Spurs take Wood (Project PF with some upside, Duncan as your mentor, doesn't get better then that)
Lakers take Vaughn (great scorer, kobe as a mentor, need depth behind Kobe)
Celtics take Martin (with Bass bring a free agent they get ther replacement here)
Nets take Wright (take the best player on the board, need to look to future at PG with D Will and Jack currently there, also could fill in if theres a injury)
GSW take De Paula (prob. look to go international here, stash overseas for a 1-2 years, high upside)
Lakers take Okafor (no need for PG, love Clarkson, plus there the favs to land Rondo, + PG will be available at 27)
