RTM's 2012 Mock Draft Thread - Updated 6/23

[princeofpalace]

I think that P. Jones is about 10 spots too high, same goes for Q. Miller and I don't see Brad Beal falling that far.

[RTM]

More in line with my earlier thoughts on a few picks - new mock:

1. New Orleans Hornets: Anthony Davis (6'10'', PF, Kentucky, Fr.)
2. Charlotte Bobcats: Thomas Robinson (6'9'', PF, Kansas, Jr.)
3. Washington Wizards: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (6'6'', SF, Kentucky, Fr.)
4. Cleveland Cavaliers: Bradley Beal (6'3'', SG, Florida, Fr.)
5. Sacramento Kings: Andre Drummond (6'10'', C, UCONN, Fr.)
6. Portland Trailblazers (via BKN): Damian Lillard (6'2'', PG, Weber State, Jr.)
7. Golden State Warriors: Harrison Barnes (6'8'', SF, North Carolina, So.)
8. Toronto Raptors: Dion Waiters (6'4", SG, Syracuse, So.)
9. Detroit Pistons: John Henson (6'10'', PF, North Carolina, Jr.)
10. New Orleans Hornets (via MIN): Jared Sullinger (6'9'', PF, Ohio State, So.)
11. Portland Trailblazers: Meyers Leonard (7'0", C, Illinois, So.)
12. Milwaukee Bucks: Tyler Zeller (6'11'', C, North Carolina, Sr.)
13. Phoenix Suns: Austin Rivers (6'4'', SG, Duke, Fr.)
14. Houston Rockets: Jeremy Lamb (6'5'', SG, UCONN, So.)
15. Philadelphia 76ers: Terrence Jones (6'9" F, Kentucky, So.)
16. Houston Rockets (via NY): Kendall Marshall (6'3'', PG, North Carolina, So.)
17. Dallas Mavericks: Perry Jones III (6'11'', PF, Baylor, So.)

Jumped the gun with Perry. Don't really know where to put him, but I don't think he goes lower than this.

18. Minnesota Timberwolves (from UTAH): Terrence Ross (6'7", SG/SF, Washington, So.)
19. Orlando Magic: Arnett Moultrie (6'11, PF/C, Mississippi St., Jr.)
20. Denver Nuggets: Royce White (6'8", PF, Iowa St., So.)
21. Boston Celtics: Moe Harkless (6'8", SF, St. John's, Fr.)
22. Boston Celtics (via LAC): Fab Melo (7'0", C, Syracuse, So.)
23. Atlanta Hawks: Quincy Miller (6'9", F, Baylor, Fr.)
24. Cleveland Cavaliers (from LAL): Andrew Nicholson (6'11", PF/C, St. Bonaventure, Sr.)
25. Memphis Grizzlies: Marquis Teague (6'2", PG, Kentucky, Fr.)
26. Indiana Pacers: Jeff Taylor (6'7", SG/SF, Vanderbilt, Sr.)
27. Miami Heat: Festus Ezeli (6'11", C, Vanderbilt, Sr.)
28. Oklahoma City Thunder: Draymond Green (6'7" F, Michigan St., Sr.)
29. Chicago Bulls: Doron Lamb (6'4", SG, Kentucky, So.)
30. Golden State Warriors (via SA): Tony Wroten (6'5", G, Washington, Fr.)

1. New Orleans Hornets: Anthony Davis (6'10'', PF, Kentucky, Fr.)
2. Charlotte Bobcats: Thomas Robinson (6'9'', PF, Kansas, Jr.)
3. Washington Wizards: Bradley Beal (6'3'', SG, Florida, Fr.)
4. Cleveland Cavaliers: Harrison Barnes (6'8'', SF, North Carolina, So.)
5. Sacramento Kings: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (6'6'', SF, Kentucky, Fr.)
6. Portland Trailblazers (via BKN): Damian Lillard (6'2'', PG, Weber State, Jr.)

Knowing it's more likely a good big is available at 11 than Lillard is still around, they grab him over Drummond.

7. Golden State Warriors: Andre Drummond (6'10'', C, UCONN, Fr.)
8. Toronto Raptors: Dion Waiters (6'4", SG, Syracuse, So.)
9. Detroit Pistons: John Henson (6'10'', PF, North Carolina, Jr.)
10. New Orleans Hornets (via MIN): Jeremy Lamb (6'5'', SG, UCONN, So.)
11. Portland Trailblazers: Tyler Zeller (6'11'', C, North Carolina, Sr.)
12. Milwaukee Bucks: Meyers Leonard (7'0", C, Illinois, So.)
13. Phoenix Suns: Austin Rivers (6'4'', SG, Duke, Fr.)
14. Houston Rockets: Kendall Marshall (6'3'', PG, North Carolina, So.)
15. Philadelphia 76ers: Terrence Jones (6'9" F, Kentucky, So.)
16. Houston Rockets (via NY): Perry Jones III (6'11'', PF, Baylor, So.)
17. Dallas Mavericks: Jared Sullinger (6'9'', PF, Ohio State, So.)

He's not dropping any further. Great compliment offensively with Dirk, and they care about winning now. Sully's ready.

18. Minnesota Timberwolves (from UTAH): Terrence Ross (6'7", SG/SF, Washington, So.)
19. Orlando Magic: Arnett Moultrie (6'11, PF/C, Mississippi St., Jr.)
20. Denver Nuggets: Andrew Nicholson (6'11", PF/C, St. Bonaventure, Sr.)
21. Boston Celtics: Moe Harkless (6'8", SF, St. John's, Fr.)
22. Boston Celtics (via LAC): Royce White (6'8", PF, Iowa St., So.)
23. Atlanta Hawks: Fab Melo (7'0", C, Syracuse, So.)
24. Cleveland Cavaliers (from LAL): Draymond Green (6'7" F, Michigan St., Sr.)

Near his ceiling, IMO (23 to the Hawks), but it seems like his stock is rising. With Nicholson, White and Melo off the board, they pick the playmaking/rebounding combo forward over a guy like Taylor.

25. Memphis Grizzlies: Marquis Teague (6'2", PG, Kentucky, Fr.)
26. Indiana Pacers: Jeff Taylor (6'7", SG/SF, Vanderbilt, Sr.)
27. Miami Heat: Festus Ezeli (6'11", C, Vanderbilt, Sr.)
28. Oklahoma City Thunder: Evan Fournier (6'7", SG/SF, Poiters, Intl.)

Rumor has it they don't want to pay a 1st round pick right now. Fournier gives them time before worrying about that.

29. Chicago Bulls: Tony Wroten (6'5", G, Washington, Fr.)
30. Golden State Warriors (via SA): Quincy Miller (6'9", F, Baylor, Fr.)
