The rules are pretty simple. Post your prediction of picks 1-30. For every pick you get exactly right, you will recieve points equal to the draft slot, so 1 point for the 1st pick, 30 points for the 30th pick. Double the scores if you get 5 straight, triple your scores if you get 10 straight and 5x the points for each additional consecutive correct pick past 10 in a row. If you overdraft or underdraft a guy by 5 or more picks, you lose points equal to the difference, so if you pick a guy at 10th that goes 20th, you lose 10 points. Any questions? Post your official picks in this thread, I will compute the scores and come up with a winners list after the draft. I will lock the thread when the draft starts so get your picks in before then.

With the draft only a day away, I figured I'd try and predict the draft with my own mock. I'm probably going to be off toward the tail end of this, but I had fun coming up with it. Bulls - Derrick Rose Heat - Michael Beasley T'Wolves - Kevin Love Sonics - OJ Mayo Grizzlies - Brook Lopez Knicks - Jerryd Bayless Clippers - Eric Gordon Bucks - Joe Alexander Bobcats - Anthony Randolph Nets - Danilo Gallinari Pacers - Russell Westbrook Kings - DJ Augustin Blazers - Kosta Koufos Warriors - Marreese Speights Suns - Brandon Rush 76ers - Darrell Arthur Raptors (Pacers) - Robin Lopez Wizards - JaVale McGee Cavaliers - JJ Hickson Nuggets - Mario Chalmers Nets - Chris Douglas-Roberts Magic - DeAndre Jordan Jazz - Roy Hibbert Sonics - Alexis Ajinca Rockets - Jason Thompson Spurs - Ryan Anderson Blazers - Nicolas Batum Grizzlies - Serge Ibaka Pistons - Donte Green Celtics - Bill Walker And I'm betting that Miami and Seattle swing a deal that sends Mayo to Miami and Beasley to Seattle with other peices of course. But that's all depending on what Minny does. I cant see them taking Mayo when they have so many guards anyways. Plus, this is McHale we're talking about. I bet they take Lopez and put Jefferson back at the 4. We can all do our own mocks and see how they stack up to the real thing after Thursday night.

Toronto will be picking at 17 (because they can't trade the pick), but they'll be picking for the Pacers. Adjust your predictions accordingly.
15 minute warning....Im closing this thread at 7:30 pm eastern....I will make a copy of the thread to assure no sneaky editing after that point and I am going to try to do real time scoring, but it may get difficult as the draft goes on....
