For those interested, we are doing a mock draft competition this year for the lottery.

The competition determines who on the forum has the best scouting and random prediction skills and in turn the most accurate mock draft. Simply follow the link below to make your projection on who gets drafted at each spot in the lottery. The winner gets the board title of 2017 General Board Mock Draft Champ (if they want it), bragging rights, and And1s from all (hopefully ).

Scoring:

This is golf, not bowling. Points are bad. And you will get points for how far off you were on that player being picked. For example, if you picked a guy to go 6th, and he went 10th, you get 4 points. The poster with lowest point total wins.

To Play:

------> MAKE YOUR MOCK DRAFT SELECTIONS HERE <------

After you make your submission you'll be greeted with this page:



It is strongly recommended that you open the "Edit your response" link and bookmark it - this link is unique to your submission and can be used to make any edits at any time all the way up to the start of the draft

We encourage you to also post your mock draft order in this thread for discussion purposes - but remember whatever is in your Google Form submission is what will be scored.

If you have any queries or concerns about the submission, feel free to ask them in this thread or PM me!

Yeah, the 7th pick is tough because there is probably a good chance they trade it, and then who knows?

I'll be honest, I only watch about 3 college basketball games per year, the semis and finals. So I don't really know anything most of these names here. I just loaded up the DraftExpress Mock Draft and made a few random changes on their take.

1) Fultz
2) Ball
3) Josh Jackson
4) Tatum
5) Fox
6) Markkanen
7) Isaac
8) Ntilikina
9) Z. Collins
10) Smith
11) Mitchell
12) Kennard
13) Leaf
14) J. Collins

Interesting you both have Jackson dropping to 6. It definitely may be possible since Isaac shut down his workout for anyone past 4. I'm not sure the Kings will pass on him but they are supposedly high on Jackson too.

What Suns fans hope for, who they want most ?

Mostly Jackson, then Tatum, then Isaac, but it's definitely split. I'd say more want Jackson than the other two combined though....maybe even 2-1. I did various polls and I think Jackson beat Tatum 43-10 or something and Tatum beat Isaac pretty bad, but not nearly THAT bad. There are 5-10 who really want Isaac though.

From the Knicks board version bwg:

So I see we already have about 30 entries so far from the General Board looking at the google submissions but few have posted their picks in the thread here. Post them here too...you know we have to have a little discussion of picks, trash talking and all that, so post your picks...be bold!

You can change them up until the draft, as mentioned in the first post....as long as you keep your personalized edit link to also change them in the google doc as explained in the first post.
