The most realistic Mock(consider teams need n draft combine) 

Post#1 » by Kirsten19 » Sun Mar 25, 2012 5:00 am

Update:

1) New Orleans - Anthony Davis (6'10'', PF, Kentucky, Fresh.)

2) Charlotte - Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (6'7'', SF, Kentucky, Fresh.)

3) Washigton - Thomas Robinson (6'8'', PF, Kansas, Jr.)

4) Portland - Andre Drummond (6'11'', C, UConn, Fresh.)

5) Toronto - Bradley Beal (6'4'', SG, Florida, Fresh.)

6) Sacremento - Harrison Barnes (6'8'', SF, North Carolina, Soph.)

7) Cleveland - Perry Jones (6'11'', SF, Baylor, Soph.)

8) Detroit -Jared Sullinger (6'9'', PF, Ohio State, Soph.)

9) Utah(from Warriors) - Damian Lillard (6'2'', PG, Weber State, Jr.)

10) Milwaukee - Tyler Zeller (7', C, North Carolina, Sr.)

11) Portland - Jeremy Lamb (6'5'', SG, UConn, Soph.)

12) New Orleans (from Wolves) - Kendall Marshall (6'3'', PG, North Carolina, Soph.)

13) Pheonix - Terrence Jones (6'9'', SF, Kentucky, Soph.)

14) Houston (from Knicks) - Meyers Leonard (7'1'', C, Illinois, Soph.)


possible lottery picks:

Austin Rivers (6'4", SG/PG, Duke, Fresh.)
John Henson (6'11", PF, North Carolina, Jr.)
Arnett Moutire (6'11", PF, Mississippi State, Jr.)



NOTE:

Perry Jones will be a lottery pick, GMs may still wanna gamble on him because of his amaing upside. Upside alone, PJIII is probably the best along with Drummond n Davis in this draft. A top 3 talent. Other late lotto candidates like Lamb, Sullinger, Rivers or even Henson all have their red flags too.

Zeller averaged 16.5points n 9.5 rebounds per game this season. N he just had an amazing game in the sweet 16 with 20points, 22 rebounds n 4 blocks. If UNC made it to the final, i think Zeller will be a top 10 pick. I like what i've seen from him: can finish well arround the rim, can really rebound, a legit 7 footer, play good post D, not an elite athlete but more athletic than most people think, has a range up to 18 ft. Other than being old for the draft class, i dont see any red flag. He is probably more NBA ready than Henson, PJIII n Leonard too.

Meyers Leonard stock can ONLY rise from now to the draft day. He will impress everyone in the draft combine as measurements n athletic testings are his strength. He is also a workout warrior so he will make impression in w/o. I think he will be taken from 9th-13th

I can 100% guarantee you that Terrence Jones isn't even on the Jazz' radar. In this scenario we'd take Lamb, reach for a point guard or go for the BPA (preferable not a power forward). The rest looks solid. I think Leonard will climb quite a bit and I'm not sold on MKG at number two, but we'll see what happens through the rest of the tournament.

Utah will pick Damian Lillard at 9th, he is a pg.

Terence Jones plays SF too, and i think thats his postiion in NBA. Still an upgrade over Hayward imo

I like Marshall more, but that is neither here nor there. For some reason it didn't even occur to me that we were in the lottery twice, so I skimmed over that :oops: I still don't think that Jones would be on the radar, we'd be better off with a small forward because we will likely let CJ Miles walk and try to move Raja Bell. That would put Quincy Miller and Lamb in our cross hairs.

Doubt Quincy Miller will declare.

I rule out Cody Zeller and Quincy Miller in my mock draft/

Terence Jones is a SF in NBA. I think thats his postion in NBA. If u want a SF, Terence Jones is the best available at 13th

Scott Howard-Cooper from nba.com tweeted me and said he likes this mock draft a lot, other than Tyler Zeller being too high

I don't know about that, I sure wouldn't want him playing small forward (or on my team at all - I think he'll be a massive bust).

This is realistic because I do think the Bobcats will not win the lottery. I see them picking at 2 or 3 though.

I'll take T-Jones or Rivers in Phoenix. I really can't decide on which. The Suns haven't had a playmaking SG since Joe Johnson and they haven't had a dominant rebounding hybrid forward since Marion. Can't really go wrong there.

Maybe.. But I think since Grant Hill is aging, they'll look for a SF. Not a slam dunk of coz, depends on who falls there

Pistons fan here, really think Sullinger is a bad fit next to Monroe. But he'll be a good option at 8th, probably a BPA, is young n can contribute in NBA right away. We need a PF, so he may be picked here

But if Detorit isn't picking Sullinger, he may well drop to Houston or outside lottery. Base on teams need

Not sure. But heck even the bobcats have only 25% of winning the lottery. Track records tell us that not always the worst team gets the 1st overall pick. Last year was an exception of course.

Whichever team wins the lottery doesnt matter. A.Davis will be picked first anyway. and even with the bobcats, he'll form a good frontcourt with Biyombo.

top 5 wont change too much.


BTW,


Update:

2) Charlotte - Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (6'7'', SF, Kentucky, Fresh.)

6) Sacremento - Harrison Barnes (6'8'', SF, North Carolina, Soph.)

7) Cleveland - Perry Jones (6'11'', SF, Baylor, Soph.)

8) Detroit - Cody Zeller (6'11", C, Indiana, Fresh.)

9) Utah(from Warriors) - Jeremy Lamb (6'5'', SG, UConn, Soph.)

10) Milwaukee - Tyler Zeller (7', C, North Carolina, Sr.)

11) Portland - Damian Lillard (6'2'', PG, Weber State, Jr.)

12) New Orleans (from Wolves) - Terrence Jones (6'9'', SF, Kentucky, Soph.)

13) Pheonix - Terrence Ross (6'6'', SG, Washington, Soph.)

14) Houston - Jared Sullinger (6'9'', PF, Ohio State, Soph.)


possible lottery picks:

John Henson (6'11'', PF, North Carolina, Jr.)
Meyers Leonard (7'1'', C, Illinois, Soph.)
Austin Rivers (6'4", SG/PG, Duke, Fresh.)
Kendall Marshall (6'3'', PG, North Carolina, Soph.)
James Michael Mcadoo (6'9", PF, North Carolina, Fresh.)
Arnett Moutire (6'11", PF, Mississippi State, Jr.)

If cody Zeller doesnt declare, i expect Pistons picking Sullinger/Henson at 8th instead. Leonard goes 14th

Not bad overall. The only edit I'd make would be that Utah is very likely to stretch for a pg than a wing @ 9, particularly because the teams likely right after them ( NO, Portland, even the Suns..) will probably take Marshall / Lillard / Wroten if they're available. Utah will likely also have the 12 or 13 pick and I could easily see them picking up a Lamb or a Ross there. The fact that Lillard has played in Utah the last few years could give him the bump, maybe more because he's aware of the eccentricities of the culture than off of marketing potential.

Some Jazz fans would love to have Lamb, but I just don't think he fits in with what they are trying to do. I get that he is a shooter, but is not a good defender. Some say he lacks that killer instinct. Time will tell.
