It's that time of the year again where teams are starting their off-season out with the Pre-Draft Workouts in search of the future for each of their franchises. So I went through and made a my projections of how guys will move up and down draft boards, then fit them into spots that I think fit the teams needs and tendencies. Since it's only my first mock, this is a simple outline, and I'll explain reasoning in my versions moving forward.
I didn't realize Minnesota had 4 picks in this draft. I wonder if they actually keep all 4 picks or they sell some for Cash or try to move up? This will be a huge test for Kahn.
Oops, #8 is suppose to be Los Angeles Clippers, just I used Minnesota's thing as copy & paste to make thing go faster Rumor so far is that they are looking to package them together to move up and try to nab Evan Turner or possibly packaging #16 and #23 to get another top 10 pick. I could see a team like Utah or Clippers doing a deal to get multiple picks if someone they like doesn't fall. Utah reportedly like Hayward and Babbit, and could get both probably by trading down while Clippers really need a SF and aren't that high on Al-Farouq Aminu from what I understand.
I don't think Al-Aminu falls to 11. I really feel the Warriors will grab him, they could use a young SF and he seems like the type of guy that would fit into the Don Nelson system.
I haven't been following much NCAA hoops this year. Is this year's draft supposed to be good? How does it compare to last year?
This year's draft has the possibility of being deeper than last year's draft w/ new deadlines put forth that forced several underclassmen to enter and then the early date to withdraw kept a bunch in the draft. It should be very similar to last year, just instead of PG's, there is a big time surplus of bigmen that should go in the lottery.
