I have created a mock draft of the 2011 NBA Draft.  To see my mock draft go to http://nbaballinstuff.blogspot.com/2011/05/my-nba-mock-draft-for-2011.html  send me your comments on what you think about it.  I will explain more about some of my picks after people check it out.

 That pick at #3 makes no sense whatsoever for Utah.

Why not? Think about the Possiblities here.  What if AK does leave.  It gives you another option at the small forward.  Vesely is 6’11" who can play either forward position.  The other idea pick was Brandon Knight.   I’m not saying that Vesely will go to three but you never know what will happen either.  If Brandon Knight does go to three at Utah by chance then I would think that the Raptors would take Vesely with the 5th pick.

Its to me either going to be Kyrie Irving or Derrick Williams going to Cleveland with the 1st pick.  I have no problem with either choice for the Cavs.  If they take Williams first then hopefully Brandon Knight will fall to them at 4 which i feel he will.  I feel the Cavs will take Kyrie Irving just because I feel he will be another Chris Paul and would be a great rebuilding piece for the Cavs.  The 4th pick I feel they should take Enes Kanter.  You then have your PG in Irving and a big man in Kanter. 

The 2nd pick I think the T-Wolves will select Derrrick Williams and then possibly trade the pick.  I could see a few possible scenearios

 

Trade 1:  Minnesota trades 2nd pick, Michael Beasley, Wesley Johnson and Jonny Flynn to Detroit for Rip Hamilton.  This would get the T-wolves a veteran although I don’t like the  giving up a 2nd pick. 

 

Trade 2:  Not likely but Minnesota trades 2nd pick, Wesley Johnson and Jonny Flynn to Dallas for Shawn Marion and Mavs 26th pick.  This would get Dallas a few rebuilding pieces starting with Derrick Williams and then taking on Wesley Johnson and Jonny flynn to get Derrick williams.  I figure it would either be Shawn marion or jason terry that the T-Wolves would want.   That would get the T-wolves a veteran player and you could have Love, Beasley, Marion, Webster and Rubio if he comes over. 

 

Trade 3:  Not likely either but another idea.  Minnesota again trades the 2nd pick, Darko Milicic, Jonny Flynn to Houston for Kevin Martin.  The T-wolves then would have Love, Beasley, Randolph, Martin and Rubio.

 

Trade 4:  Minnesota gets:  Brandon Roy and Greg Oden,  Portland gets:  Darko Milicic, 2nd pick,  wayne ellington and jonny flynn.   Minnesota would have Love, Beasley, Randolph, Roy and Rubio.

 

 

 

3rd pick Utah selects Jan Vesely I know what’s up with that right.  6’11" SF would give the Jazz some size.  I really dont’ know what’s going on with AK.  Brandon Knight might be select here also though.

 

 

5th pick –  Toronto selects Brandon Knight.  He may not fall to here but if he does I feel the Raptors need to take him. I’m not sure about Bayless and Calderon and don’t have alot of faith in them.  Also Knight could play the SG if necessary.  If Knight is taken by Utah then Jan Vesely would be an interesting pick here.

 

6th pick – Washington select Kawhi Leonard.   I feel this team needs a small forward badly since Josh Howard seems to be injured. This team is stacked on 4’s.  I do feel it would be funny if this team took Kemba Walker though and played him at the point and put wall at the 2.  Talk about a fast backcourt with Wall and Kemba.

 

7th pick-  Sacramento selects Kemba Walker.    I feel that this team needs a point guard in a bad way.  If Knight by some miracle falls to here they could take him.  Kemba though can not only score but pass.  I would rather the kings start Kemba and use Udrih off the bench.

 

8th pick-  Detroit selects Tristan Thompson-  He’s a power forward who i think would be nice to have along side Monroe to clean up the boards and score.

 

9th pick-  Charlotte selects Alec Burks-  Why do i feel this.  Well he’s a combo guard at 6’6" and could come in and play some minutes while either Stephen Jackson or DJ Augustin rests.  Maybe could try and start in place of Augustin.

 

10th pick-  Milwaukee selects Klay Thompson.   I feel since Alec Burks was taken by Charlotte Klay Thompson is the next shooting guard here.  i feel this team needs a sg or pf.  Another choice might be the seven footer power forward Donatas Motiejunas.  Although look at what happened the last time Milwaukee took a 7’0" power forward Yi Jianlian.  I think Klay Thompson is the safe choice here.  If Burks by some miracle is still on the board though then the Bucks select him.
