Haha. Sorry. I don't think there is trading. This is a mock draft, not a GM draft.

Either way, there's no way the Spurs would trade this pick if McGee is sitting there.

 

I was doing what I thought my team would do if McGee was on the board, trying to trade back into the 1st round....Ive never seen a mock draft that didnt include trades before....

We have GM drafts all the time that include every player in the NBA. There's tons of trades in those.

I think in a mock draft, we are opening up too many variables by allowing trades.

I think the results will be more meaningful if we keep it simple.

 

somebodies going to get traded on draft day though....I felt that if Alexander and McGee were there at 22, Orlando would take Alexander and then try to move back up to get McGee...but if theres not trades, thats fine too

 

What's your guys' take on my pick of Bill Walker at 25. I know its a risk, but Houston is lacking at the SF position as I only see T-Mac and Battier there, unless you slide Landry over there too, but I think he is more fit to play as an undersized PF. With Walker they have the potential to put in an athletic forward who has the potential to be a good scorer, which Houston desperately needs (well not DESPERATELY, but they need more).

I love the pick. As long as everybody, including him, stays healthy, he'll make them even more dangerous than they were last season.

Very nice pick...that guy has loads of potential. and a considerable low risk at #25

 

Anyone hate the Courtney Lee pick? I figure, Seattle's got 3 PG (one with starter potential, 2 more that can backup); like 5 bigs; but...only 3 wing players. And perimeter shooting definitely would be a need for that team.

I don't hate the pick...but I probably woulda took Walker instead. Lee would've been my pick if Walker was gone.

I'm just eagerly awaiting my Memphis pick...I'm excited cuz when #20 came up I had 5 guys left on my list...and two of them are still there with only one pick before mine...yeah, Baby!!!

 

I like the Lee pick. He's a solid NBA 2 guard.

 

I don't disagree with Lee being a good pick, but I'm just thinking that at this point in the draft you can gamble a lil on someone with more potential. Sure Lee can be solid but Walker can be more than solid contributor....that's all I'm sayin'

Lee's a better shooter, that's what I was aiming for. Plus, Walker's been mentioned as a high 2nd round pick...Seattle owns #32. I was sort of banking on that

Once the #20 pick hit Walker was in my list of top five guys I would get at #28 I was drooling at the tought of Walker at SG with Gay at SF, Conley at PG and Brooks under the basket...that is one athletic back three tho, with a good young big man down low....but I still have two of the five on my list with only one pick ahead of me

 

I'd take Lee in a second over Bill Walker. He's a nice scorer for that team.

That's why I picked him....to mess with you

 

Ummm...if feels like I've been waiting two day to make my pick, wasn't the #27 pick up like two days ago?....lol

 

Wow...I had two guys on my board left when it got to me....but I did get what I wanted...The Lopez brothers together again...you can't buy that kinda chemistry....lol

 

I thought you were a real Wolves fan! I was going to take him at 31! lol Good pick though.

 

The moment Bill Walker, or anyone for that matter, got picked by the Rockets, they immediately got hurt. Go figure.
