J_Ray's 2nd Mock Draft (1st & 2nd round picks) Commentary

It wouldn't surprise me to see a team grab his rights in the late 2nd round and then ship him off to Europe for a while to see what he can do. I think he's too raw for an NBA roster, and nobody's going to waste a roster spot on him.

 

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting shapecity:</div><div class="quote_post">Well he did stop his workouts, after some poor feedback. I'm not sure what his status is, but with the draft this deep, I don't see him being drafted. Only 5 or 6 teams got a look at him, and Orlando wasn't one of them. Toronto, Washington, and Utah all have late picks in round 2 and worked out Sun Ming Ming, so if he gets selected it's likely going to be one of those teams.</div>
Well I live on the west coast, so I don't keep up with Orlando's free agents and salary issues, so I didn't know they were losing so much D. But I did change the Sun Ming-Ming pick. Then Rerem says I should have put Ming-Ming for a projects, as I had him so if Utah still had that last pick he probably would have been there(Him or Diener).

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Voodoo Child:</div><div class="quote_post">As said earlier, I still don't think that Frye and Graham slip, and Webster is a better fit in Orlando. Other than that, Granger was supposidely very impressive in his workouts today and I can see him going to Toronto or New York before I can see him going to Golden State. Salim Stoudamire is also way too high. He is only 6-0 tall and supposedly tweaked his ankle, so he won't be showing teams he can run the point in Chicago this week. You brought up how Portland had Damon Stoudamire, but their experience with him wasn't exactly a pleasant one, and Salim does have a bad history of his own. Also, where is Alan Anderson? He was the leading scorer on the first day of games at Chicago with 24 points. He was overshadowed at Michigan State because he played on the only team in the NCAA with five other guys scoring double figures, and that's not even including their starting Point Guard. He'll be able to show what he can do at Chicago (as he did last night) and should go high to mid second round. I would have also included Yaroslav Korolev, as well as Andrew Bynum.

Overall, pretty good mock. </div>
I know I should have had Graham and Frye higher, then Webster would have fit better in Orlando, but as I said ^ to Shape, I don't know much about Orlando, because they're all the way across the U.S. from me. I thought the Knicks need big man?!?! They don't even got a player over 6'9" on their roster!!! If you haven't noticed that would cause some problems. Toronto also got a very good player, so what's the whole deal that they wouldn't pass Granger up. Umm.... Salim had problems early in his college career. He didn't have a single problem this year, AND he don't have drug problems like his cousin. Salim can shoot better than Damon too. I made this before the Chicago Pre-Draft camp even started! I know he was in the shadow of many in Michigan St.'s team, but I couldn't find a spot for him or Ewing in the end. As for the reason I didn't put Bynum, and Korolev, I used draftcity to see who was in the draft and to know the draft order of the whole thing, and they have a list a player likely to pull out, so I didn't use most of the names on it. Here it is
Thx for all the Input though, I'll just have to make another one There goes another 4 days of my life!!! It's okay though

 

So is there any more picks that I messed up on, or you disagree on?

 

Salim hit 52% from the arc while shooting a lot of 3's,gets his 3 off due to quickness,ans played for Olsen who sent a LOT of PG's to the NBA. Arenas and Terry were Ariz shooting G's. Being the drafts best pure shooter is big,and while the shift back to point,his HS job,is no lock,he had more PG game than Louis Williams. I see him as a good pick late 1,early 2. Has a chance to look real good in the future,so someone will play the odds. Basden didn't shoot real well in workouts but nobody thought of drafting him as a shooter,and workouts don't measure D.
