Since I don't know much about the NBA, so you won't be getting much analysis from me. I'm just going to list what player I feel each team will pick. 1 Milwaukee- C Andrew Bogut 2. Atlanta- PF Marvin Williams 3. Utah- G Chris Paul: I heard on the ESPN pre-draft show that the Jazz and Blazers were close to making a deal, so I went ahead placed Utah right here. 4. New Orleans- G Deron Williams 5. Charlotte- SF Gerald Green 6. Portland- SG/SF Martell Webster 7. Toronto SF Danny Granger 8. New York- C Channing Frye 9. Golden State- PF Charlie Villanueva 10. LA Lakers- PG Raymond Felton 11. Orlando- SG Antoine Wright 12. LA Clippers- SF Yaroslav Korolev 13. Charlotte- PG Jarrett Jack 14. Minnesota- SF Joey Graham 15. New Jersey- PF Sean May 16. Toronto- C Johan Petro 17. Indiana- SG Rashad McCants 18. Boston- PG Roko Ukic 19. Memphis- PF Fran Vazquez 20. Denver- C Andrew Bynum 21. Phoenix- PF Ike Diogu 22. Denver- SG Francisco Garcia 23. Sacramento- SG CJ Miles 24. Houston- PF/SF Hakim Warrick 25. Seattle- PF Chris Taft 26. Detriot- PG/SG Luther Head 27. Portland- PF Wayne Simien 28. San Antonio- C Andray Blatche 29. Miami- PG Monta Ellis 30. New York- C Randolph Morris All feedback would be greatly appreciated!
For being a college hoops guy, that's a pretty solid mock One thing; I think that if Utah does pull the trigger on that trade (I heard it on ESPN, too, and it sounds like it's gonna get done), they'll be looking at Deron Williams, not Chris Paul. Deron is more of a Jerry Sloan type of guy. Nice looking mock, though.

I was reading Utah rumors on espn insider and saw where they would take Paul or Williams, so I just put Paul in there considering he's the best PG in the draft in most people's opinion. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting lakerman34:</div><div class="quote_post">So the Laker trade going up isn't going to happen.</div> Not sure what trade your talking about...
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting lakerman34:</div><div class="quote_post">So the Laker trade going up isn't going to happen.</div> Not without something big going down. A bunch of the teams ahead of them (Charlotte, Utah, New Orleans, Portland) have been pretty active in the pick trading market, and all of them have more that they are willing to offer right now. It wouldn't be totally shocking if the Lakers made a dea; there's sure been enough rumors to suggest it might happen, but at this point it looks like they won't...

It'd be a perfect fit for him, and he's the type of guy Jerry Sloan loves. I'd like to see him in Utah, I think he'd mesh very well with a lot of the other young talent they've got there. If he does land with the Jazz, they'd become playoff contenders, because they were at the start of last year, and the only thing keeping them out of contention other than the multitude of injuries they were forced to endure was a lack of above average PG play. I think they'd become a dangerous team with Deron at the helm...
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting JWohl:</div><div class="quote_post">Not bad, but there is no way Bynum falls all the way to 20. Not happening.</div> True... I'm sure someone's going to gamble on him in the lottery. What do you think about the idea of the Knicks getting him? I've heard that they might be interested...
