 Here is my mock with player comparisons for the first round and early second. Let me know what you think?

 A lot of these comparisons are terrible

 Care to elaborate?

 Henzonja is a very athletic player, Middleton is not. WCS is a very athletic player, Verajao is not. Stanley Johnson and Draymond don’t even play the same position much less the same way. RHJ can’t shoot whatsoever Barnes is a decent shooter.

Some of your comparisons are wacky but I’m okay with different. 

Some surprises, Porzingis going 2 to the Lakers. That doesn’t right either. If the Lakers surprise us and don’t go with Okafor it will be Russell.

I agree with you on Mudiay slipping to 6, surprised others haven’t realized this could happen. 

I don’t see Utah selecting Oubre. He’s going to slip because he hasn’t done well in workouts, plus teams don’t like his attitude. This is especially for the Jazz, they always pick players who fit their system and that is not Oubre. They need a bigman especially after trading away Kanter. True they could opt for a small forward, but they have two second round draft picks as well, and I kind of liked Joe Ingles last year as Hayward’s backup.

Myles Turner is going to take awhile to develop and Charlotte needs shooters like now. Payne or Booker are better option for the Hornets.

This is the first time I’ve seen Jarell Martin in the first round, let alone mid first rounder. I can see him as a a fringe late first rounder, but even that is pushing it. He’s second round for sure.

Payne impressed a ton of teams in workouts. So he’s a lock for the lottery. Lottery teams that might draft him are Hornets, Pacers, and Thunder.

Christian Wood is another surprise first rounder. Once again to me he is more of a second rounder.

Cliff Alexander is also said to slip. I know, there is potential in him, but teams are really starting to question why he didn’t show his talent his only year at Kansas.

Montrezzl Harrell is a first rounder. His attitude has been questioned but you can’t deny his talent. There are some teams that are willing to take the risk and have the makeup to allow for his attitude and can teach him to play to his strengths and have so many outbursts. Spurs are great for that, and I also think the Grizzlies could select him as a backup to Z-Bo or the Warriors.

I don’t think Chris Walker will be drafted. I think he made a poor decision to come this early. He has a ton of potential but his attitude, and poor play at Florida are what drops him to undrafted. He really would have benefitted from another year at Florida.

 Wow! that is quite a bit of critisizm. I figure there is going to be a lot of trades and other crazy things happening tomorrow. I’ll likely be changing a lot as more info comes out before the draft.

 I actually think this could happen. If Karl decides he wants Porzingis for the run-n-gun system. Apparently Lakers aren’t offering both Clarkson and Randle. 

Its the NBA Draft the possibilities are endless and any spontaneous urge from organizations can reshape the future of the NBA!

Your comparisons are terrible though…
