gswhoops' Mock Draft (latest update p10)

[perezident]

I think Sacramento reaches at #33 and nabs Terrico White. Another big guard to play backup PG to Evans

Funny, I originally had them drafting White at #33, but thought with Evans, Beno and (to a lesser extent) Garcia capable of playing PG, they might be better off with a more pure SG. I'll probably switch it back for my next mock.

Nah, if a guy like Terrico who's a big 6'5 and is naturally a PG and can play SG we'd pick him in a heart beat. And who knows, he can eventually be a starter with Evans and making sure the future of the kings are intact

[BucksRUS]

BucksRUS, how do you feel about Patterson to Milwaukee?

Udoh, then Patterson would be my choice at 15 if they are there. I am not really liking the wings available at 15. Both of the PFs have the ability to space the floor, which is what the Bucks like their PFs to do.

[Baddy Chuck]

With drafting Patterson in the first, and having Luc and Ersan off the bench, I don't see a reason to draft Garcia in the second. I would prefer to go with Tyler Smith there. Also, I like Crawford, but I much prefer Jones to him if we are going for a shooting guard.

[Casperkid23]

One of the better Mocks I've seen - though being a huge Ebanks fan can't say I'm a fan of him sliding to the 2nd.

[hard49]

Memphis will not pass on Babbitt for Willie Warren especially when they could take White, Williams or Bradley later.

[Foye]

Solid mock. I still doubt that Stephenson goes before #40 though.
I'd love to pick up Varnado at 45 for the Wolves but doubt that will happen.

And I like the Benzing pick for the Timberwolves.

[Relentless88]

Yes to Orton for the Raps.

[ThreeYearPlan]

Memphis will not pass on Babbitt for Willie Warren especially when they could take White, Williams or Bradley later.

Pondexter will be better than Babbitt imo

[RTM]

I'm not sure i see Monroe being the guy at 5. I think it would be a big mistake for the Wiz to pass on Johnson.

Jones falling all the way to LA would be the biggest steal of the draft.

[gswhoops]

I'm not sure i see Monroe being the guy at 5. I think it would be a big mistake for the Wiz to pass on Johnson.

Jones falling all the way to LA would be the biggest steal of the draft.

Why? I see Johnson as a nice complimentary player but someone who's never going to be "the man." The Wiz need someone with that kind of potential.

If the Wiz think McGee and Blatche are guys to build around and keep, why pick another finesse big man. They either need Wing help or a strong defensive presence inside to go with McGee and Blatche.

That pretty much sums up my thoughts. Wes gives them a player they don't have. And I don't think Monroe has the potential to be "the man". He's not quite the physical presence Washington needs to compliment Blatche's offense and McGee's wiry frame. I think Aminu has a higher ceiling than either, and if Washington didn't go with Wes, he'd be a better pick than Monroe. He and Wes both bring defense on the wings to the table, which is something Washington could really use.

[Krapinsky]

I really, really like this mock as a Wolf fan. This would be our ideal scenario in my opinion.

[BucksRUS]

Kenneth Faried withdrew from the draft.

I don't think the Bucks would take Ogilvy. If Salmons, doesn't sign an extension before the draft, the Bucks will pick a wing player at 15. Hopefully George. Probably Hayward.

I would go George at 15, Jerome Jordan at 37, and Torrance at 47 of the available players at thoses spots.

[RTM]

Yeah, Faried's out.

Detroit looks realistic. We're not to hard to figure out.

Assuming we stay at 7, the pick will most likely be one of Monroe, Davis, Aminu or Aldrich.

At 36, it'll likely be Jordan, Brackins, Parahouski or Varnado.
