Golden state wouldn't draft Williams. I know that Davis can be injury prone, but they also have Derek Fisher. They'd be wasting a pick when they could get O'Bryant.
This is the worse one i've seen so far...Why and the hell are people putting Ronnie Brewer so high? Rodney Carney is better than him about everything except being able to play PG... I don't know how old this is but it's terrible... :no1:
My problems with it are:- Marcus Williams probably wont fall to the 9th spot in the draft- The Warriors probably wouldnt pick Marcus Williams when RodneyCarney is still in the draft. They have Baron Davis and Derek Fisher. They would probably rather improve at other positions then that. They already have a ton of talent there.- Carney won't fall to the 11th spot- Sixers won't draft a pg when they still have AI and John Salmons at the point- Jazz won't take a PF before SG. Mehmet Okur can play PF, and Carlos Boozer has a huge contract, and he plays there. I see the Jazz taking Redick, because they need a good shooter- Why would the Bulls ake 2 straight PF's in the 1st round of the draft?- Redick won't fall that low- Who is Marko Thomas? Not the best choice for the SunsBut atleast they got the Raptors pick right
Why wouldn't the Bulls pick 2 PF's in the draft? They have no depth there and there are no 'pure' centers other than O'Bryant and Gray...Chandler can play center and having a few young bigs at PF next to him would help. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Sixers won't draft a pg when they still have AI and John Salmons at the point</div> Thats enough of a reason to pick a PG right there.
Two in the 1st round? I think that is too much. a 3rd string guy drafted in the 1st round? eh.. I think they will draft Shannon Brown to back them up at SG.
I think they draft a SG with the 16th pick but I wouldn't see the problem picking up two post players...Most of the posts in this draft can play either PF or C.
This is suprisingly not to bad. Based on the other mocks ive seen from proffesional companies this has been the best. I mean I dont agree w/ everything there but its sure better than fox sports and SI's mock lol. here are soem of the main things i didnt disagree w. though. - Ronnie Brewer going to Houston. I just don't see it happening. IMO he isn't good enough to be a top 10 but more like a late lottery pick and I really doubt they would pass on Marcus Williams for him.- Marcus Williams falling to the 9th pick??? He is obviously the best pure point guard in the draft and I dont think hell fall that far, The farthest I see him going is 8th to Houston. Earliest I see him going is 5th to atl. I think the Warriors take Patrick O'Bryant to bring more depth at the C position.- Hilton Armstrong in Utah??? Why??? The Jazz dont even need a PF. Like cb4 said Okur can play pf and they have boozer who should be healthy this upcoming season. They desperately need a shooter and Armstrong definetly isnt one. - Richard Roby going 15th. I have no clue why he thinks this honestly. This is possibly the worst pick he made in the mock. I mean I can see them taking a shooting guard but Roby isnt exactly the shooting guard I could see them taking. Hes been doing badly at the workouts and because of this he'll probably go back to school. Plus I doubt even if he wasnt doing badly in workouts hed go before the 20th pick.- Leon powe getting taken 16th to the Bulls. Leon Powe hasnt even been considered a first rounder. I mean he would have to do incredibly well to go that early.Plus yes the Bulls need a bigman but Powe wouldn't be the answer. Hes only 6'8 which is pretty undersized for a pf in the NBA. Hell really have a hard time going up against guys that are liek 6'10-7'0 ft tall.

They already have JRich, Dunleavy, Jr., and Mickael Pietrus. Why do they need Carney?John Salmons is FAR from a PG. And Allen Iverson is probably more comfortable playing the 2. And, he's not getting any younger. They'll either draft a pg or a PF.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BCB @ Jun 10 2006, 09:34 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>No kidding...John Salmons...yeesh...Rajon Rondo would be a perfect fit for them.</div>Yeah sorry but your liking Rondo toi much. Mardy Collins would be the perfect fit for them. Hes 6'6 and is a big pg and is also a decent sized sg so he brings more depth to both positions. Also he played in Philadelphia so the Sixers are very familiar w/ him and how he plays. Really though the Sixers are actually a pretty good offensive team but a pretty bad defensive one. I think they need to draft sheldan williams for defense more than they need Mardy Collins for offense
And John Salmons does play pg for them occasionally. And I dont think Mo Cheeks would want AI at the 2 again. I mean, he is 6"0 and a bad defender. That would create major, major matchup problems.

Sure John Salmons has played pg a little but that doesn't mean he's any good at it. Scoring is his secialty but hes no more than average at that. Also where do you possibly get the idea that Mo Cheeks wouldnt want AI playing sg and that it would make match up problems??? AI played pg his first season and then played sg for 7 seasons straight before switching back to pg because they had so few. SG is his natural position and it would be nice if he could get back to playing there.
SG is his natural position, but it DOES create matchup problems, and sg's would shoot right over him, and get past him easily. AI is already a poor defender. Him playing sg again would be a bad idea for the 76ers. I don't think they'll ever line him up at sg again. For right now, you don't need a pg because AI is still getting 30 ppg isn't he? He gets better with age.

Picking a pg would be a safe pick and we could use one to bring more depth in that position. I still do say though we need to get sheldan williams to bring more defense to the team. Also we have Kyle Korver playing sg. Sure hes bigger but hes no better at defense than AI is. If you are just judging this by height then if we do draft Mardy Collins since hes 6'6 he can just guard the 2 guard and AI can guard the pg. Really though if it was that bad of a problem AI would'nt have been sg for 7 seasons straight.
Mardy Collins is just like Aaron McKie and John Salmons, they can play three positions but they don't do anything really well. Your much better off drafting a solid PG like Rajon Rondo who can be your future there.

Your probably laughing at this but yes I feel Louis Williams can really be our future there. I mean we never gave him many minutes since Iverson was playing 43 mpg but if you did watch Louis Williams play while Iverson was injured for like 2 weeks you'd know what I mean. My perfect example is a game against the Pistons. AI was out so Louis Williams actually got like 20 minutes of play that day. Even though it was against the Pistons who normally own the Sixers w/ AI, Williams went out there w/ so much confidence and was really leading the Sixers out there. He played a great game and really impressed me. I really do think he's our future there. I really do think the Sixers need more of a role player
Louis Williams is not your future at PG, the most minutes he played in a game this year was 16, the guy only cares about scoring and thats all he did in HS. If you think Louis Williams is going to lead the 76ers anywhere your kidding yourself. Rajon Rondo would give you a proven player and a player with much more potential.

You had to watch to know what Im talking about honestly. He showed a ton of potentail last season and confidence. Give him more minutes and he can really prove himself.
