realistic, logical and right mock, based on needs, value and tendencies, the best mock out there!

 You love Alec Burks too much, your last mock was really pretty solid, but I have a feeling you’re one of the Burks fans who really hasn’t seen him play.

Have you?

[kobyzParticipant]

what the problem in him going sixth, i knew he has some things to work on but he has huge potential!

[TeamShowtimeLakersParticipant]

nice mock!

 I think you have Kenneth Faried a little too low, but the comparisons are really good!

I definetely think that Vesely will be top10 pick because nba teams are just crazy about big mens who can shoot from europe especially when he is 6’11 is quick enough to play 3 and is hella athletic and it doesnt matter that now he is inconsistent and still raw on the offensive end he is just very perspective.

In my opinion Valanciunas even though it sounds crazy is smiliar to LaMarcus even their faces look similiar for me 😀 because while Valanciunas is still raw offensively as i know ( im from lithuania ) he can really shoot from midrange and hella good percent from the free throw line just proves it, just when he is playing as a center he has no chance to show it. In the future I can really imagine him as a little bit less skilled but bigger and longer ( 7’6 wingspan ) LaMarcus version.

Also I dont think that Noguera will participate in the draft.

HAHAHAHAHAHA Jordan Hamilton going 9th, what a joke. somebody’s been hangin’ out at mynbadraft.com…..and you didn’t even respond to joe wolf calling you out and i can’t believe u don’t have more negatives for calling your mock unbelievable….unbelievably bad maybe

[providencefriars1Participant]

Not a bad mock. I dont think your Burks and Hamilton picks are that bad, Hamilton will probably go a little later (like 13 or 14) and I think Charlotte takes either Veesly or Honeycutt with that pick. Speaking of Honeycutt you have him a little too low. Im not saying he couldnt fall there which is very possible, I would have put him in the mid to late lottery. Faired is way too low at 27 he wont fall past the top 20 with his rebounding skills. I understand your thought process with putting Harris and Richmond where you did, but I think teams are going to pick them early second round.

Your comparisons were very good, there was just one I disagreed with and that was Vuyecivic= Troy Murphy, but thats not a big deal. Bottom line you are in good shape.

Burks is a bad defender, what do you mean by compete defensively. He has defensive potential due to athletisism but thats not something that is easily developed. Youre mock draft actaully looks pretty good to, but Terrence Jones is too high, Hamilton is too high, Vesely is way too low, Biyambo is too low, and Faried is too low, Lighty is too high, and I could continue but meh.

 Comparisons=okay at best. Two that I hate, that I’ve always commented on are Alec Burks and Motiejunas. How do you see Aldridge in Motiejunas? Aldridge can actually dunk and quite feriously too. He is also a lot tougher, more based on defense. Do no just say to me both can shoot very well from the outside. There are other big man that can shoot well from the outside too. And two of them are much better comparisons than Lemarcus is. (I’m not going to tell who cuz I think you already know who) Burks is in no way Spreewell. There hairdos aren’t even similar. Burks is a much better passer than Spreewell ever was. His attitude is much better than his was. I see more Ginobli, Brandon Roy, or Evan Turner in him than I do Latrell Spreewell.

Now for the draft=Just as bad if not worse. First of all, don’t be arrogant and say its the best mock out when you haven’t people take a look at it. Both Hamilton and Jones are way too high. Please do not hype by saying they deserve to be top 10 picks. Jones could be a top 10 pick but right now he is not. Until workouts, measurments and all that pre-draft stuff, he is still a late lottery pick. Hamilton is a late lottery pick to mid first rounder. And in no way is he gonna go higher. And what is with all the hating on Vesely? Do not tell me that he can only dunk and so all of this is just more material claiming he is a bust. If you say that than you clearly have not read the scouting report or have watched him play. He is more than just a dunker. He is an intangibles guy that can shoot from 3pt range. An intagibles guy that can shoot from 3 and is about 7ft tall is a very rare commodity in the NBA and scouts will love that. And he does have a position in the NBA. I say he’s more of a PF because of his lack of ball handling, but if improves that he could very well be 3 as well. Vesely is at least a top 10 pick if not that then top 5. (especially in a weak draft such as this)

Sorry if this sounded harsh, but I felt it necessary to be very harsh. Because you were a little arrogant in the beginning before you even give us the chance to look at it. And one of my pet peeves is being arrogant.

There have been several who post that the Jazz should draft Burks, I don’t see or understand why, if you follow the Jazz closely you should realize that the Jazz don’t need a 2.  Hayward and CJ are best suited to play the 2, they can play the 3 but are undersized and at a disadvantage at the 3. Hayward was playing very well at the end of the year and should continue to improve, he is the Jazz future at the 2. Almost all coaches/GM’s want to get longer and more athletic at every position and Hayward and CJ are great for the 2 spot but undersized at the 3.

The Jazz need to look to draft a 3 if they feel there is one that fits their needs, I like TJones and Vesely with Leonard as a dark horse pick at the 3. AK may not be back, so the Jazz need to find his replacement. Someone that can play D on the top 3’s in the league, the Durrants, James’s & Melo’s of the league. Both Hayward & CJ are undersized trying to match up against the top 3’s in the league.

I think the Jazz need to look at a point guard for the future, Knight or Jimmer would be my picks. Both can score, both would have to learn how to be better distributors.

I think the Jazz should look at possible tradeing Milsap, his value is probably at it’s highest and they may be able to get a good, long, athletic 3 that can shoot for him, a Granger type player. If the Jazz looked to move Milsap, they could look at Biyombo to fill the 3rd spot in the front court, he brings what the Jazz need, defense, rebounding, shotblocking, hustler. The Jazz biggest weakness last year was defense and rebounding. Favors & Big Al could start and Biyombo could fill in off the bench.

[kobyzParticipant]

i don’t agree with you, i totally think the Jazz should draft Alec Burks at #6, first of all Hayward is more effective as a SF which is more comfortable position for him based on his advantage and disadvantage, and he is not undersized at 6’8",  CJ Miles is equally SG and SF but anyway he is better fit as a bench player cause he is so erratic.

so i do think Jazz have big need in a SG, but more important have a need in a star player and that somthing Burks has potential to become, he has a lot of things to work on but still he is a great talent, people will say that he is a bad outside shooter and i will agree with them but i think he has potential to be very good at that also, you can see he has potential by looking at his FT% and by seeing his main problem with this is his balance and that can be fixed!

[thecity2Participant]

Biyombo does not slip past GSW, probably not past Detroit.

[topotamolderParticipant]

Reggie Jackson is WAY too low. He is probably going to be a 1st round pick. And don’t be surprised if he ends drafted around the 20’s.  This guy is going to raise his stock in the draft combine and pre-draft camps. He is probably one of the most athletic players from the entire draft, and he has a 7’0 wingspan, and he is a +40% 3pt shooter who can penetrate, shoot, rebound and do a lot of things. I’ll be shocked if he is not drafted between 20 and 35
