    First off, fuck mock drafts.

    Now here's a challenge.

    Using ESPNs draft machine here (http://www.espn.com/nba/draft2017/features/draftmachine/) give us your first round predictions. The order isn't updated but ignore that and draft with the current order in mind. Then post a screenshot here. If you want to guess draft day trades, or add players that aren't on the default list, specify. Winner gets nothing because fuck mock drafts. But you can brag about it anyway. Let's see who gets the most right.

    How about this scoring system?
    Correct Pick:     10 Points
    Within 1 Pick: 5 Points
    Within 3 Picks: 3 Points
    Within 5 Picks: 1 Point
    Correct Team, Wrong Pick: 3 Points
    Total number of 1st Round Players Correct: 1 Point each

    If Portland came out of this with Patton, OG (Wanunoby) and Bell, I would be just fine with that. Was a Patton guy early on although I'm not sure how I feel about that because D69 has been more of a Jarrett Allen fan and he is usually right.

    So my perfect mock draft above is worth 330, or just 300?

    Actually let's do 2 points ea. For correct 1st round picks so a perfect score would be 360.

    Only reason I didn't go with Allen at 15 is I haven't heard anything about his interview/workout with the Blazers, and we've had indication of the Blazers being very interested in Patton's offensive abilities. Personally, I also think Allen is a better prospect, but I think Olshey is probably more intrigued by Patton's perceived upside.

    And of course you can change your mock as much as you want up until 4pm tomorrow.

    Try to post screenshots to make it easier. Instead of clicking submit, just screenshot it and upload here.

    That's pretty darn good; except I don't think there is any way Miami takes Kennard.

    Allen reminds me of Javale McGee, while not nearly as clumsy.

    My guess is that after the Kings passed on embiid for injury problems they will use their second pick to take a swing on Giles.

    I just really don't want him to be available at 15.

    Wow, I just realized how little I've been paying attention to basketball lately. I only recognize about 4 names from these lists.
