Theres no way Kenneth Faried is slipping into the second round.

 For the most part I like your draft.  I’ts not too crazy but if LUCAS NOGUEIRA stays in the draft he won’t fall to 57.

[Allen_Iverson_3Participant]

Here is what I disagree with:

-Charlotte doesn’t need a PG (Augustin/Livingston) nor a SG (Jackson) so they don’t need Jimmer (a PG/SG). They have two options: either they go for a center to replace Kwame Brown (not too difficult eh…) and they choose Biyombo and then they take Tobias Harris at 19, or else they go for a SF/PF to replace Wallace and they have 2 options: Singleton (same kind of player) or Marcus Morris and then at 19 they draft a big guy like Faried, Vucevic, Motie or Tyler. By the way, Faried is way too low, he’ll never get past Portland if he’s available.

-Golden State is not taking a SG with already Ellis and Curry at the backcourt. They can draft a C (Biyombo if available would be nice) or a strong defensive PF (T.Thompson is a nice fit) to go along with Lee

-Isn’t Phoenix more likely to look for a PF with Warrick failing to be a solid starter? They should rather take Markieff Morris who is very productive.

-Motie is too low imo.

-I’d see the Thunder taking Mirotic over Thompkins as they need someone in their frontline with a nice scoring touch.

-If you think Charles Jenkins can be taken at 30 by the Bulls, why does he appear at 45 when you have E’Twaun Moore at 39 (too high) and Dunn at 44 (by the Bulls)?

-Rick Jackson is too high, Jon Leuer is too low and will at least take his place

-Iman Shumpert is too low: he shouldn’t be falling after 45 given his physical tools

-If Nogueira keeps his name in the draft, he will not be drafted at 57. I don’t see him falling behind 45

-Also, no Jereme Richmond in the draft? I think one team should take a look at him. Dallas or the Lakers for example have time to spend on a young talent.

 

This said, it’s overall a pretty coherent mock though.

To touch on just one of your points, I’m thinking Phoenix is looking for a SG/SF considering how Grant Hill may retire and Vince Carter is not far away from that. Between Aaron Brooks and Steve Nash, I think they’ll be ok with point gaurd(for now, at least) so I’m thinking either Jordan Hamilton, Klay Thompson, or(if he’s available) they might decide to shore up both gaurd spots possibly by taking Jimmer Freddette. Just my opinion.

#7 – Kemba Walker to the Kings.

But why are you talking about him and the Raptors?

[Allen_Iverson_3Participant]

I fully understand your point as I understood jwet23’s point in his mock, but I see things this way. I just feel that the Suns’ major hole right now is at the PF spot, that’s it. But yeah they can of course also go with a SG/SF and Hamilton is a nice pick too.

I don’t pretend to hold the truth, I just have my truth!

[PlatypusParticipant]

 if vuveic is still around the pistons would take 2 centers and let them compete because detroit needs size as always

[StewieStoneyParticipant]

 Do you guys really think that Williams can drop to #4? I just think hes the best prospect in the draft, and definatly see him going 1, 2, or 3. Most likely 2. 

[RafterParticipant]

I personally would’ve liked the pick description to be beefed up a bit.

The mock is solid, if not a bit safe which isn’t a bad thing.

I can’t imagine Faried will fall into the second round either.
