What site did you go to make this mock?We have the same top 6, except I have Horford at 4, and Jianlian at 9.You are giving the Pistons Young and Tucker, both play the 2.
I went to ESPN, then copyed the page and cropped everything else out..Young is a SG, and Tucker is a SF, if they were the same position I wouldnt have picked them both.. I also heard that the Grizz are real high on Jianlian.
Looks good. I like the pick at #20 with Miami getting Javaris Crittendon, they could have him as another project. Atlanta getting Hawes looks like a smart prediction too. Not too sure about Horford falling to 9 here (which would be a good pick for Chicago if it happens).
Looks pretty good, here are some notes: <ul>[*]Horford falling to 9? No way that should happen.[*]Corey Brewer down at 8? Ehh, I love both Green and Julian, but they shouldn't be picked ahead of Brewer.[*]Atlanta could very well take Conley at 3, so I'm not going to fault you for this, but I don't think they should. I think they should go Brandan Wright at 3 and Acie Law at 11.[*]I would be absolutely THRILLED if Brandan Wright fell to us at 5.[*]I think Detroit should go for Arron Afflalo at 15 if they are going to take a wing. He fits their defensive mindset.[*]I think Jason Smith is being taken way too high at 16, and Ante Tomic is probably a little higher than expected too.[*]I like Stuckey a lot, but I think he's too high, and he wouldn't fit in Golden State with Baron/Monta.[*]I think Marcus Williams is being overlooked on your mock, as well as many others.[/list]
I think Crittenton will be picked by the Lakers. LA likes their tall PG's. Phil Jackson likes his triangle offense.
I didn't think there was any chance that would happen, but thats just the way things played out on this mock. I thought about maybe the Bucks, but I remember BCB saying Villaneuva IS a PF and not a SF. It's just my opinion, I think Wright is better than Brewer as a SF. If it came down to Green or Brewer and I was in need of a versatile SG/SF type, Brewer would be my guy any day of the week. And I have Brewer as a SG. We will not pass on another PG. A PG is our biggest need right now, and Conley would help us big time. I thought 15 was a little to high for Afflalo, he's a guy that could go mid 1st or early 2nd. All depends on what your looking for.. Smith seems to be highly thought of, and I thought it was a stretch myself.. But I really don't know. I had trouble here, but I picked Stuckey because I think he'd fit well in an up-tempo style play, and the Warriors like having athletes and scorers on their team, so he would fit well there. I don't know what to think of Marcus Williams to be honest. I'd like to see how he performs in these camps, and workouts before I really identify him as a top SG in this class.[quote name='SunnyD' post='366594' date='May 28 2007, 07:25 PM']I think Crittenton will be picked by the Lakers.

But I think they'd get better value at each pick if they took Wright at 3 and Law at 11. Wright, IMO, is the 3rd best prospect and Atlanta also needs a big they can go to offensively, and Law will safely be there at 11. You don't know what bigs will be there at 11 if you take Conley. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I don't know what to think of Marcus Williams to be honest.

I've said it a ton of times and I'll say it again, he's going to have a Jalen Rose-like career (numbers may be a little bit lower, but same type of player).
Who's Jason Smith? Sean Williams won't be picked in the 1st round. You do not have Morris Almond on there, a team could use perimeter shooting off the bench. If Stuckey is going to picked in the 1st round, then Almond is going to picked in the 1st round. Other that, pretty good.

I'm not sure how his game will translate into the NBA, but he will get picked in the first round due to his size, passing ability, post skills, and athleticism.Sean Williams' stock dropped alot after being kicked off the because team. He brings defense, size, athleticism, and strength. Still raw on offense though..I think Almond could go in the first round, if he does I'm thinking Houston, Charlotte and Utah would take him late in the 1st round.

Charlotte needs a SG pretty badly and Matt Carroll is not get going to get it done, having Almond beside him though would be a deadly 3 pt shooting duo. EDIT: NVM, CB32 beat me to it.
