1) New Orleans – Anthony Davis (lock)

2) Charlotte – MKG (tough one, but decided to go with the high motor animal with elite defense and developing offense)

3) Washington- Harrison Barnes (need a versatile perimeter scorer to take pressure off Wall)

4) Cleveland – Brad Beal (controversial, leaning towards Drummond, but went with the safer pick, gives cavs their backcourt of the future)

5) Sacramento – Thomas Robinson (no brainer i think???)

6) Portland – Andre Drummond (steal???)

7) Golden State – Jeremy Lamb (could go with a big with athleticism to complement Bogut/ Lee off the bench, i.e. Henson or Perry, but for now decided to go with a gunner to provide spark off the bench. if need be slides to the 2 with Klay at the 3, giving them the BEST shooting perimeter lineup in the game)

8) Toronto – Austin Rivers (spark off the bench, or Demar could slide to the 3, and insert Austin as the starting 2)

9) Detroit – John Henson (froncourt defense!!!)

10) New Orleans – Damian Lillard (up in the air, could really go with anyone. Opted with Lillard for now to give them their PG of the future)

11) Portland – Kendall Marshall (elite floor general, current orchestrator more of a scorer imo)

12)  Milwaukee – Jared Sullinger (post scorer to complement Udoh/ Sanders post defense)

13) Phoenix – Perry Jones (BPA, could blossom nicely in an uptempo system)

14) Houston – Ty Zeller (deep depth chart, Ty gives them their center for the future, could’ve gone with Meyers but, but too much of a project atm)

Getting Drummond and Marshall (best point guard) is Portland’s wet dream. Aldridge and Drummond would be a very indimidating frontcourt.

Only problem is NBA guys have watched Drummond play and after watching him not one player will be intimidated

[CavsFan07Participant]

Washington BARNES? Doubtful. The Wizards used TWO first round picks on SF’s last year (Vesely and Singleton), why in the world would they draft yet another SF? Beal and Drummond make more sense for them than Barnes.

[JordoParticipant]

 Washington will take Beal at 3. Don’t think you people realize how bad they need a SG that’s not just another chuck first get benched later type of player.

[d-ravParticipant]

Yeah, you guys right, probs Beal ahead of Barnes for Wizards, though Vesely I think is their PF (athletic defensive stretch 4, played there mostly last season), while Singleton is their starting SF providing lockdown D. So roughly, their starters could may well be;

PG) Wall SG) Beal SF) Singleton PF) Vesely C) Nene

Also I think Toronto takes Ross at 8 because of his size , athleticism , shooting , and upside.  Hornets take Marshall and team him up with Gordon and Davis , he is a perfect complement for them both.  Lillard gets taken at 11 by Portland and Rivers falls out of the lottery.

 They let Monta go partly because of him

I think CHA needs someone who can score while brings a toughness to them. MKG wouldn’t work well with that team

 

[uknationParticipant]

MKG work well with any team. I don’t know one team that couldn’t use a potential lock down defender with a high motor, good rebounder and can score as well

[CAROLINA BLUE NICKParticipant]

 I like your mock man. For some reason though don’t be surprised if Jordan takes Barnes with the 2nd pick. I love MKG as a prospect but I have stated on this site before, MKG gets the Gerald Wallace comparison a lot and the Bobcats already had Gerald Wallace and traded him away so obviously Jordan didnt value a player of that caliber. The Bobcats need instant offense and Barnes is one of the best if not the best scorer in this draft. Plus he is a Tarheel and will bring fans to the arena. I also think Drummond could go to Washington. He is going to blow people away at the Combine and every big man needs a point guard. John Wall and Drummond would be an amazing duo for the future. If this goes how I feel than I think MKG will fall to Cleveland which would be a blessing in disguise since I do believe MKG and Irving played together in high school and are good friends. That could be instant and great chemistry for Cleveland to build on for the future and can be another great duo in the future as well. I also think that Tony Wroten will jump into the lottery. Dude is my favorite prospect and could be a steal in the late lottery. I think Portland might pick him. They need a guard and I think he will surpass Rivers in scouts eyes at the combine as the 3rd best combo guard in the draft.

[HaleParticipant]

I’m not a fan of Portland but if they could get Drummond and Marshall that’d be just flat out awesome. Well until both of them tore their ACL in training camp at least.
