Mockdraft 1.0 (almost perfect;PREDICTED Jrue@17th)

76ciology · Post #1 » by **76ciology** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 3:38 pm

1. LA Clippers - PF Blake Griffin
*BPA

2. Memphis Grizzlies - C Hasheem Thabeet
*BPA and Team needs. He has been impressive in his work-outs so far.

3. Oklahoma City Thunder - SG James Harden
*BPA and Team needs.

4. Sacramento Kings - PG Ricky Rubio
*BPA and Team needs.

5. Washington Wizards - PG/SG Stephen Curry
*BPA

6. Minnesota Timberwolves - SG Tyreke Evans
*BPA and Team needs. They are rumored to be looking for a talented swingman on the draft.

7. Golden State Warriors - PF: Jordan Hill
*BPA and the Monta rumor

8. New York Knicks - PG: Brandon Jennings
*BPA and Team needs. He'd be perfect for D`antoni's system.

9. Toronto Raptors - SG Demar DeRozan
*BPA and Team needs.

10. Milwaukee Bucks - PG Johnny Flynn
* should be their future PG.

11. New Jersey Nets - PF DeJuan Blair
Blair's toughness has a lot of appeal for the Nets. Ask Rod thorn. He might also be a good fit to play with LBJ.

12. Charlotte Bobcats - SG: Gerald Henderson
- He's a LB type of player.

13. Indiana Pacers - SF/PF Earl Clark
- He has a LOT potential. And he is a fit for JOB's system.

14. Phoenix Suns - PG Ty Lawson
- At first, I was about to put Jrue Holiday in here. But I think Lawson is the better fit compared to Holiday. Lawson is ready to contribute right now and is a very good player on the break. His assist to TO ratio is also very appealing for the Suns squad.

15. Detroit Pistons - SF/PF James Johnson
- Too much talent to pass up. Especially with a rebuilding team like theirs.

16. Chicago Bulls - C BJ Mullens
- Based on rumor.

17. Philadelphia 76ers - Jrue Holiday
- BPA and team needs

18. Wolves - PG Teague
- Is already too good for them to pass this one up.

19. Hawks - Eric Maynor
- Bibby's back-up. (legit one)

20. Jazz - Tyler Hansbrough
- should fit Sloan's system. And shall be an insurance once Boozer sell his soul again for the money.

21. Hornets- Chase Budinger
- BPA and his outside shooting would be a good fit for their squad.

22. Mavericks - Terrance Williams
- BPA and Team needs

23. Kings- Austin Daye
- Have a lot of patience to wait for Daye to improve.

24. Trailblazers - Patrick Mills
- A trivial pursuit for PGs and is the most ready to contribute out of the remaining guys in the draft. Arguably, a dark horse of this year's draft.

25. Thunder - Rodrigue Beaubois
- Have a lot of patience to wait for Beaubois to improve.
26. Bulls - Omri Caspi
27. Memphis - Sam Young
28. Minnesota - SF Dajaun Summers
29. LA Lakers - PG Toney Douglas
30. Cleveland - SG Wayne Ellington

Jrue Holiday doesn't come remotely close to falling that far. Theres no way he makes it past 10 and even if he does, the Pacers grab him at #13.

He's a sixers fan! ;-)

Also I think Geoff grabs Omri Casspi at #23.

I just can't see they would pick another PG, with all the number of PGs they have with their team. Remember, they passed up on a better PG prospect on Bayless last season.

Also, value wise, I think Earl Clark and Holiday are head to head.Their value are mostly based on their upside.

I just think that at the end of the day, a guy like Earl Clark who has a lot more size than Jrue is a player they would prefer over Jrue Holiday.

Just my opinion.

dude! nice work... only issue I have is the pick for my Blazers... he is not a Nate style PG... Given who is still on the board in your mock, KP will go with either Beaubois, Collison, Casspi, Young, or Claver

I dont see the Hornets taking another SF unless they have deals to move Peja and/or Posey set in stone.

It's looking like Flynn will go before Jennings for sure unless something changes in the final week.

Holiday doesn't drop past Milwaukee.

Also, calling Thabeet the BPA at 2 is a joke.

So, Holiday over Flynn? I just thought that it is Flynn > Holiday, IMO.

We could easily replace Holiday over Flynn, btw. It would make no changes in the entire draft.

I just thought that Jennings is a better fit than Flynn with D'antoni's system. And I think Jennings has, arguably, a higher upside.

And I can't see Flynn or Jennings going before the Knicks pick.

Definitely not almost perfect, but definitely gotten the surprise of this year's draft.

Hahaha

So great to be a Sixers fan right now.
