    I can see that happening but if the Bulls pick Wade it will probably send a red flag up to either Rose or Eddie Robinson...maybe even to Jamal Crawford...

    Sweetney is too high. He is too undersized to go in the lottery and there are bigger, more potential filled big men in the draft. I don't think the Wiz will select Hayes. They have Jeffries and Dixon in the SG/SF spots unless they want Jared to be a PF and Dixon to come off the bench, but that would be a waste of a first round pick on Dixon, especially with how high they took him...Hinrich is too high...put Varejo in Sweetney's spot and that would be more realistic...Ridnour is a tad too high, but I think 14 is possible...

    I don't think I've heard of your 15 pick so I can't say if it's good or bad. Sofoklis will go higher. I think West will go a little higher than 19 (higher as in the 20s, using the words higher and lower can get confusing during draft time, well for me it can be confusing atleast)...probably low 20s...zarko will go lower...Gaines will go lower I think...

    Rickert is okay right there...Austin will go in the high teens/low 20s so that is good I guess...the last thing the Knicks need is another SG...I think Cook will go lower...Charlie will definately go lower...

    Overall I think it's a solid draft, but there are just some minor adjustments in terms of where players will go, but I think you are real close to where the players should go. It's a good draft to put up before the workouts for the players are done...a lot may change afterward, though.

    i like the idea of posting mock drafts but it usually is better to do it once the lottery has been held

    yeah i agree about waiting for the lotto. btw i've never heard of who u picked #15 for the magic :|. i think in u're order, we would either pick barbosa or sofo(since you have both of them left). but all in all a good mock.

    For great player profiles go to www.nbadraft.net

    Their mock drafts aren't good, but their player profiles are. Especially for international guys.

    If Toronto gets Second they will draft Darko. If they get Third it will be Melo.

    It'd be cool for the Raptors if they had Melo, but I doubt it...

    ridnour is a pg from oregon, he is pretty good and the orlando magic want him(i don't really like him too much though) the sonics really need a pg/pf&copy;, so that might be a good pick for them.

    do you mean the players get switched around or the teams? i think the players will stay about what they are now, but the teams will probably be different.

    alright, i just think that the top 3 players are a lock at 1. lebron 2. darko 3. melo. regardless of whoever has the top 3 picks(only team i think would pass on darko if they had #2 is bulls, since they have eddy curry and tyson chandler already to play pf/c)
