2011 Mock Draft (1-60 with commentary)

I will be really pissed if Kahn passes on Derrick Williams

[spoonhoops]

If Kahn takes Derrick Williams, I will be surprised. I am still on the fence for Derrick Williams in a Jazz uniform, but if he is the BPA, then he is our guy. I'd prefer Kanter of Knight, but Williams would work too.

I think that your opinion has a pretty good shot at changing as long as Kanter does well in individual workouts. It is hard to predict how good he'll be because no one has seen him play, but from the very brief glimpses he is showing the kind of potential that teams drool over.

Lakers would jump all over Jeremy Tyler the first chance they get

You are probably right. I have moved him up.

Hard for me to see Chicago having that draft considering how much they need knockdown shooters

Who is there that is better though? Jon Luer and Justin Harper? They won't see minutes competing against Gibson/Boozer. Bojan Bogdanovic? He might not come over (although several people assert that he will, I think if that were likely he'd go higher than where Chicago is). Kyle Singler? Same story as Luer and Harper. Shelvin Mack? He might work with Rose, but he might not. Put simply, Chicago is going to have a tough time finding what they want, but the good thing is that players can develop a jump shot, and with Iman's physical gifts if he develops a jumper he could be a nice 3rd or 4th option. That wouldn't be a bad result for the 28th pick in the draft. Tyler Honeycutt, although I don't like him much as a prospect, represents good value at the 30th pick and he is a solid but not stellar shooter.

You keep getting Minnesota and Charlotte wrong in their order.

Charlotte has the 19th pick and Minnesota has the 20th.

Thank you for pointing that out.

No chance that Minny takes Kanter. Kahn and Ronzone have made it very clear that Williams is going at 2.

If they trade the pick I think it will be Williams, if they keep it I don't see any problem with taking Kanter, whether they've made it clear or not.

Diante Garret going undrafted?

Nope, not happening, as a point guard he is too big for someone not to take a flyer on him

[ipoopinmypants]

Just want to say that this is the mock that I most agree with out of all those I've seen. Excellent work.

(Also, I hope the Bulls do pick Jenkins at 28 so I can get the board to eat some crow for ignoring my subtle prediction.)

You are probably right, but I don't think he's going to be picked very high (put him @55 to Boston).

I think you can pretty much bet they'll be going with a stretch four and one of the many "hybrid" point guards. To me Jenkins and Goudelock are two of the more interesting ones. I just see Andrew being a free agent, though.

[Vindicater]

Not a bad attempt. The tristan pick obviouslly screwed everyones mocks up.

[babyjax13]

My mock was so screwed up by the end (just like everyone else's). I got a few most didn't, like the Singleton pick and the Thompson pick, but this was an extremely hard draft to judge.

[Vindicater]

I am still surprised Garret didn't get drafted.

Kid filled a niche I thought.
