I went to find a way to post my lottery, and ended up doing a full two round mock draft at Draft Express. How does it look? Did I forget anybody? Who do I have too high or too low?
Looks pretty good IMO. I agree with you about Flynn being > than Lawson but I'm sure many will disagree.
I really have no idea what order to put the PGs in. I actually switched Teague out of the spot Draft Express had him in and almost forgot to put him back in at another spot.
1. LAC - Blake Griffin 2. MEM - Ricky Rubio (I expect a draft day deal here if those Rubio rumors of him refusing to play in Memphis are true.) 3. OKC - James Harden 4. SAC - Tyreke Evans 5. WAS - Hasheen Thabeet 6. MIN - Stephen Curry 7. GSW - Johnny Flynn 8. MEM - JRue Holiday 9. TOR - Brandon Jennings 10. MIL - DeMar DeRozan 11. NJN - Jordan Hill 12. CHA - Tyler Hansborough 13. IND - Terrance Williams 14. PHX - Earl Clark
Not bad but DeRozan doesn't make it past Toronto. Plus we have 3 points guards and only 1 SF/SG under contract, and that's Quincy Douby.
1-LAC-Blake Griffin 2-Mem-Rubio 3-OKC-Thabeet 4-Kings-Jennings 5-Washington-Tyreke Evans 6-T'wolves-Harden 7-Golden State- J'rue Holiday 8-Knicks- Jonny Flynn 9-Raptors-Demar Derozen (because colangelo is an idiot) 10- Bucks- Jordan Hill 11- Nets- Austin Daye 12-Bobcats- Stephen Curry (father and son) 13-Pacers- Terrance Williams 14-Suns-Ty Lawson (i guarantee this pick)
disagree with the three pg statement- none of three, including jose have demonstrated themselves to be top caliber, starting point guards in the league. if i was colangelo i would try and land myself a top quality pg in the draft of which this particular draft seems to have an abundance of
lawson at nine might be too high. interestingly, if u believe in these mock lotteries- jordan hill would be available at nine and he might be the best available talent at that pick.
I agree lawson at 9 is high. BC will try for a SG in the draft. However, if Hill falls to 9, BC will take him if he can get another pick later to talk a Henderson or a Terrence Williams. I like the PG crop but it's unlikely BC wil go for any of them, which sucks.
I think Colangelo's heading into this offseason looking for a veteran PG, under the assumption that Roko has the spot that any rookie would take (developing prospect who you can't go into the season depending on). Anyways, here's mine: 1. LAC - Blake Griffin 2. MEM - Ricky Rubio 3. OKC - James Harden 4. SAC - Brandon Jennings 5. WAS - Tyreke Evans 6. MIN - Hasheem Thabeet 7. GSW - Stephen Curry 8. NYK - Jordan Hill 9. TOR - Demar DeRozan 10. MIL - Jrue Holiday 11. NJN - Dejuan Blair 12. CHA - Earl Clark 13. IND - Tyler Hansbrough 14. PHX - Jonny Flynn
Rumors are Rubio could drop to 4th now because his people say he refuses to play for Memphis and wouldn't be a good fit in Washington next to Arenas. I wonder if Oklahoma would be an option even though they drafted Westbrook last season to run point.
Thabeet is really low, he's probably top 3. Flynn will probably go higher. Hansbrough might be a little high. Not bad overall.
I think Habeet is a smokescreen for most teams and he'll drop on draft day. He's tall, but a complete project. It's rare you find teams willing to draft a project big man and actually take the time to develop them anymore. Patrick O'Bryant was much further along than Thabeet when he entered the draft and he hasn't done anything in the league. Saer Sene Hilton Armstrong Cedric Simmons Johan Petro Robert Swift These types never seem to work out. Injuries, impatience, foul trouble etc.
