It would be cool if you included reasons why you placed them where you did. Personally I would have posted this in the offseason thread, but here is my take.

#1-3 - Agree

#4 Cousins - BPA and it could force Sacramento to trade WJ to us. If you really wanted WJ, you could just trade down and get him and save a few dollars.

#5 WJ - There is just too much of a difference between WJ and the rest of the draft picks.

#6 Monroe - I disagree with Udoh because he's a bit old and doesn't have a huge ceiling. I could also see Aminu being drafted here as well.

#7 Aminu - I'm thinking Prince is going to be traded.

#8 Who knows

I believe I was the first on the Orton bandwagon, but I don't like how much he has shot up in draft boards recently. The only real reason he has value is because he's a big guy and has potential. I can see him falling to #17.

hmmm. I don't see a problem with keeping this as a stand alone thread. A mock draft is different than a "this is what I want us to do with drafts and trades" post. As long as we don't start getting mock draft threads from everyone...


As for this mock, I like it for the Wolves but I don't see George falling to 16.

I'm willing to bet DX was first on the Orton bandwagon and then you decided you liked what you read along with a lot of other people.

DX is my primary source of scouting info and I use Hoopshype for a summary on everything. I read ESPN too occasionally (thank you rubechat), but I hate how players just randomly move up and down the draft board because of rumors. The truth is I liked him a lot more before the lottery because I was under the impression that he was actually 6'11" and I was still thinking about Evan Turner. I knew he was a raw player and it was one of those situations where if any team is willing to wait it's us (where has we heard that before). I know we're not going to keep all of our picks, but now I'm hoping that Seraphin too will be an option at #23 if we keep that pick.
