<ul>[*]Why would Atlanta take Conley and Law?[*]Milwaukee wouldn't take Yi.[*]I don't like Jason Smith going that high.[*]Why would Philly take Cook at 21? They already have Iggy/Carney/Korver/Green.[/list] Other than that, looks alright.
thanks for the atlanta deal. I knew something was wrong. how about in LA with the clippers? Livingston is in big trougle injury wise and Cassell is getting older.

Livingston is in big trougle injury wise and Cassell is getting older.</div> Law would be great for the Clippers, but I looked over your mock again (now that you edited it), and I still have a problem with Atlanta's pick at 11. Thaddeus Young is a good talent, but Atlanta doesn't need another SF in town. If they take Conley at 3, they have to take a big with 11 (likely Spencer Hawes).
I don't like Green ending up in Sacramento, they already have Ron Artest at SF. Besides, I think Green will be picked before 10. Spencer Hawes would have difficulties finding PT in New Orleans behind Chandler and Armstrong.. they really need a SG, maybe Nick Young? In my opinion, Marcus Williams will not fit in Utah, and he'd be better suited playing in an up-tempo style. Morris Almond would be great for Utah, so maybe you should switch those picks.
Bulls don't need another small forward... if anything I think they'll take Hawes. Very good post player which is what they need, hes not the most athletic but the Bulls have enough athleticism. He's also an excellent passer who will not disrupt the flow of the offense, and will find Deng, Gordon, and Hinrich if they have an open look.I doubt that he would start in his rookie year, but I do think he would add more to the Bulls than Wright. He'd just be buried on the bench behind Deng and Nocioni.
Pistons would not take Aaron Gray and why would Atlanta take Young when they have Childress, Johnson, Smith, Williams and so on?
Spencer Hawes for New Orleans? We took two big men in the first round last year; it's highly unlikely they'll repeat it. If they do, I'm jumping off the Causeway
celticballa: if you dont think that the wizards will take jason smith because it would be too high (which I respect) I was just wondering who you think they should take at #16

It depends on who goes 13-15. I think a guy like Marcus Williams would fit very nicely. With Stevenson likely leaving in free agency, Williams would give you guys a versatile guard that can play 3 positions and can also create for others. Williams will more than likely be available, but if Washington doesn't go with a perimeter player, and they decide to go big, then Tiago Splitter would probably fit well with Haywood leaving. Some Wizards fans on the internet want Josh McRoberts, but I don't see the point in taking him when you already have Jamison to go along with Pecherov, who is apparently coming over this year. Not to mention Blatche, who is a combo forward. So, I'd say Marcus Williams or Tiago Splitter.
