Re: Zards' 2007 NBA Mock Draft V2 Okay, I had to make one right before the draft... now that the workout are all finished, and which team likes/needs which player, here is my (hopefully) improved mock.

Re: Zards' 2007 NBA Mock Draft V2 I think Minnesota would take Jeff Green over Spencer HawesDerrick Byars might be going to early thereI don't agree with Acie over JavarisJosh McRoberts - too earlyMarco Belinelli won't drop that lowJason Smith should go earlierJulian Wright maybe too lowAlando Tucker is first round talentI think Sean Williams will also go in the first roundThose are my comments. It's not bad; not great either.

It's not bad; not great either.</div>First of all, Minnesota needs a big upgrade over Mark Blount. Kevin McHale likes Hawes and hell, he seems himself in him. I just think he's headed toward Minnesota.Derrick Byars is the best fundamentally sound SG/SF in this draft. At 16, it's not that early for him and he would be a very good suitor for the Wizards considering he knows how to play in the Princeton Offense. I don't see why we would pass him up. Atlanta would rather have Acie Law than Javaris Crittenton. That's their decision. I wouldn't blame them, either, Law is more NBA-read and a batter all-around player. Crittenton probably won't make even half the impact Law will in his rookie year.You do know that Josh McRoberts is projected to go before the 20th pick, right?16, 17, 18, etc is too high for Jason Smith. Besides, Philly wants/likes him and nobody but New Jersey would want him before Philly and NJ would take Julian Wright over Jason Smith in a hearbeat.Julian Wright has been projected to drop on many mock drafts. He's a very nice athletic and long player, with good all-around skills. But the reason he's projected to drop is because he's a tweener and a lot of NBA scouts don't know how his game will translate to the NBA.Alando Tucker is nothing special. I never really saw much in him. He doesn't have a jumper, he's undersized for a SG/SF, ball-handling skills are mediocre, has a slow release on his shot, etc. Doesn't have the necessary tools a SG/SF has to have.Sean Williams probably WILL go into the 1st round, but I don't think he should. Yes, he's blessed with great talent and athleticism but the man chose weed over basketball. His passion for the game should be questioned, and whether he really plays for the love of the game (and not for money).

We have a lot of similarities in it. Only problems I really have is I think Byars is too high, and Splitter too low.
