I saw this today but wasn't able see the full mock. I was only able to see that they predicted SJ to fall to us at #15. Do you have the full mock from this article or at least 1-15?


Here's Ford's mock. He made it a point to say that this mock was based on what HE would do if he were the GM of each of the teams picking, not necessarily what he thinks the actual team would do. Hence, this is the mock draft he would give every team a grade 'A' for.

Round 1
1. Karl-Anthony Towns, MIN
2. Emmanuel Mudiay, NYK
3. D'Angelo Russell, PHI
4. Jahlil Okafor, LAL
5. Kristaps Porzingis, ORL
6. Myles Turner, SAC
7. Justise Winslow, DEN
8. Mario Hezonja, DET
9. Kelly Oubre, CHA
10. Sam Dekker, MIA
11. Willie Cauley-Stein, IND
12. Kevon Looney, UTA
13. Cameron Payne, PHX
14. R.J. Hunter, OKC
15. Stanley Johnson, ATL
16. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, BOS
17. Frank Kaminsky, MIL
18. Jerian Grant, HOU
19. Bobby Portis, WAS
20. Montrezl Harrell, TOR
21. Tyus Jones, DAL
22. Delon Wright, CHI
23. Trey Lyles, POR
24. Devin Booker, CLE
25. Christian Wood, MEM
26. Justin Anderson, SA
27. Tyler Harvey, LAL
28. Robert Upshaw, BOS
29. Terry Rozier, BRK
30. Jarell Martin, GSW

Round 2
31. Rashad Vaughn, MIN
32. Cliff Alexander, HOU
33. Cedi Osman, BOS
34. Michael Qualls, LAL
35. Chris McCullough, PHI
36. Kenneth Smith, MIN
37. Michael Frazier II, PHI
38. Dakari Johnson, DET
39. Joseph Young, CHA
40. Guillermo Hernangomez, MIA
41. Moussa Diagne, BRK
42. Aleksandar Vezenkov, UTA
43. Andrew Harrison, IND
44. Timothe Luwawu, PHX
45. Chris Walker, BOS
46. Nikola Milutinov, MIL
47. Vince Hunter, PHI
48. Guillermo Vives, OKC
49. Mouhammadou Jaiteh, WAS
50. Alan Williams, ATL
51. Nedim Buza, ORL
52. Marc Garcia, DAL
53. Jordan Mickey, CLE
54. Anthony Brown, UTA
55. Richaun Holmes, SA
56. Paul Zipser, NO
57. Keifer Sykes, DEN
58. George de Paula, PHI
59. Olivier Hanlan, ATL
60. Arturas Gudaitis, PHI


RJ Hunter at #14?!?!?!

Walter Tavares is gonna get paid. Barcelona, Madrid and Fenerbahce - I'm told - in pursuit of EuroCup best center.


Wonder how this would affect our draft?

With DMC being a free agent and Thabo injured, we need to draft a SF.


David 'Dubi' Pick: Atlanta, I've heard, love Walter Tavares. His Spanish deal consists of outs - could land in NBA or Euro powerhouse. Twitter @IAmDPick

Atlanta Hawks, Free Agency, Spain, Gran Canaria, Walter Tavares

Draft combine measurements came in and their are a few interesting numbers..

Miles Turner with a standing reach of 9'4 and 240lbs. This puts him as a legit center prospect in the NBA. He is probably best suited as a PF/C prospect but at 9'4 it lessens the doubt of him playing significant minutes at center.

Kevon Looney and Cliff Alexander both post 9'2 standing reaches. Both guys are tweener prospects. Their measurements gives them the same frame as Elton Brand.

Kelly Oubre and Devin Booker both post up 8'6.5 standing reach. This is a suprise because Booker has been criticized for having short arms or not enough length. At 8'6, it puts him about at average for most NBA shooting guards. Demar Derozan and Gerald Henderson both have a reach of 8'6.5. John Jenkins has a standing reach of 8'2. Klay Thompson has a standing reach of 8' 7.5, only one inch longer than Booker.

Biggest surpise is Stanley Johnson having a standing reach of only 8'6. Not really a great measurement for a SF and it might hurt him some when the draft comes around, but as for me, I still have him as a top 10 prospect in this draft. And for me its not a big deal because Jimmy Butler and Harrison Barnes also have a standing reach of 8'6.

Can't see Stanley Johnson making it to 15; this guy is going to be a good pro.
I'm seeing Dekker more than anyone as our choice, but if we are defense first, he won't be the pick.

I'd prefer Rondae Hollis-Jefferson over Dekker. I'd prefer Booker over both but I'm really starting to think he goes top 10.

Bobby Portis would be a solid pickup.

With all the trouble we've had of late getting even a rotation player with our 1st rounders, Portis is a guy who won't be a star. But he'll definitely be a contributor for a long time.

Very good rim protector/shot blocker. He'd be nice to have for defensive purposes.
