|---|---|
 | With a week left until the draft, Alex Len is a serious possibility to go #1 overall, along with Ben McLemore. Len's is a boom or bust prospect who's only been playing ball a couple years but loaded with potential, some good post moves. Andy V is injury prone and Tyler Zeller is better suited as a 6th man, the Cavs draft their big man of the future who reminds me of former Cavs all star Zydrunas Ilgauskas. |
 | 2. Elite athlete with a good feel for the game and versatile. The Magic just need a potential star to move forward with; that could be BMac or Trey Burke. But with Jameer Nelson still playing at a high level and PGs like Smart & Andrew Harrison in next year's draft, I think the Magic will draft BMac as an upgrade over Arron Afflalo. *Jason Richardson (GSW days) |
 | 3. Arguably the safest pick in the draft; he can do a little bit of everything. Add Porter to a core of Wall, Beal, and Nene and the Wizards are a borderline playoff team next season. I could see them competing for the 8 seed in the weak bottom of the Eastern Conference. *Jeff Green |
 | 4. Oladipo was one of the best players in the country this season, a tireless worker who can attack the rim and play lockdown defense. His tenacious playing would make Gerald Henderson expendable. The Hornets begin a new era led by Kemba Walker, MKG and Dipo. *Tony Allen |
 | 5. I'm still not sold on Bennett, he's too much of a tweener and which position he plays in the NBA will depend on what team drafts him. The Suns could like him potentially starting at the 4 next to Markieff Morris while Morris plays the 5. Phoenix goes BPA and completes their frontcourt of the future. *Brandon Bass/Jason Maxiell |
 | 6. Greivis Vasquez had a pretty good season for the Pelicans (then the Hornets), but Burke would be an instant upgrade. He's a flat out competitor and winner with a good skill set. He doesn't have the potential of a John Wall or a Kyrie Irving, but will be able to lead a team on the court and in the locker room for 10 years. *Ty Lawson |
 | 7. One of the best shot blockers in the draft but an offensive liability. Missed half of last season with his ACL injury but has some of the highest potential in the draft. This is a pretty big drop for a guy who could still go #1 overall, but I'm not high on him; I see him as an average/complementary PF on a decent team. He'd be that on the Kings, starting alongside DMC for an all-UK frontcourt in Sactown. The Kings also like Cody Zeller at this spot. *Larry Sanders (best)/Jonathan Bender w/better defense (worst) |
 | 8. MCW is a natural distributor who unfortunately has no offensive game. The Pistons aren't sold on B Knight as a franchise PG and, though they'd love for local-ish kid Trey Burke to fall to them, will happilly settle for MCW at #8. They'd slide B Knight to the 2 since they love playing combo scoring guards at the SG spot. *Shaun Livingston |
 | 9. KCP has a long range on his shot, one of the best shooters in the draft. The Wolves need a legit SG to pair with Rubio, Shved, K Love, and probably Pekovic. |
 | 10. *TRADE* Suns get the 10th and 39th picks; Blazers get Marcin Gortat and the 30th pick. SBNation reports that new Suns GM Ryan McDonough might trade back into the lottery for a prospect he likes; he used Plumlee as an example. He's athletic, runs the floor like a deer and would fit in the Suns' rotation. Gortat is the big man the Blazers need to start alongside LaMarcus Aldridge until Meyers Leonard finishes developing. *Jordan Hill |
 | 11. The Sixers got screwed in the Andrew Bynum trade. Adams is very raw but runs the floor like a deer with good shot blocking and rebounding skills. He'd be Philly's center of the future. Like Meyers Leonard last year, whichever team drafts Adams will have to be patient with him. *Meyers Leonard (right now)/Brook Lopez (potentially) |
 | 12. Baby Z has a solid all-around game, not a franchise big man but like his brother he'll be a solid rotation player. A disappointing sophomore season should cause him to fall in the draft, but he falls into a great situation in OKC. He'd become a solid player on the Thunder learning from Serge Ibaka and longtime glue guy Nick Collison, eventually replacing Collison. *David Lee |
 | 13. McCollum is an ultra athletic scoring combo guard. Has been called the Damian Lillard of this draft. Dirk's time in Dallas is coming to a close and the Mavs don't have a potential star ready to come in and lead the team. Since Darren Collison wasn't the franchise PG they signed him to be, Dallas should consider McCollum if he somehow falls to them at 13. I don't even know how he's still here on my mock... *Damian Lillard |
 | 14. A true PG who creates shots for his teammates and has the ability to take the big shot himself, as we saw during the ACC and NCAA Tournaments. A franchise PG is the missing piece of the Jazz's rebuilding puzzle. Schroeder would be able to distribute the ball to Hayward & Favors and score some buckets himself as well. This might be a little high for Larkin but the Jazz like him a lot and fear he won't be available at pick #21. Son of MLB Hall of Famer Barry Larkin. *Mike Conley (best)/D.J. Augustin (worst) |
 | 15. A quick PG who's got some great moves off the pick and roll. Brandon Jennings might not be back so the Bucks should target one of the top PGs just in case. *Rajon Rondo |
 | 16. Gobert is a back to the basket player with a massive wingspan. He tore it up at the combine and could go in the lottery if a team likes him enough. He's now the top rated international player on my big board. The KG trade to the Clippers is dead right now, but the Celtics should still acquire more frontcourt depth because the Big Ticket only has a few more good playing years left, if that many. *Andris Biedrins |
 | 17. A huge fall for a guy we all thought could go #1 overall this time a year ago. A gifted scorer with a bad selfish streak who needs to develop more consistency on his jumpshot. With Josh Smith gone and little in the backcourt 2 position, Shabazz would be moved to the 2 and become Atlanta's top scoring option after Al Horford. *a poor man's James Harden/Nick Anderson |
 | 18. Josh Smith is as good as gone and the Hawks could consider Giannis as a potential replacement with one of their back-to-back picks. He's a long, athletic stretch forward with a smooth, fluid playing style. His stock has skyrocketed this draft season, which has earned him some Bismack Biyombo comparisons. *a very poor man's Kevin Durant |
 | 19. If the Cavs don't take Otto Porter #1 overall (with a week left it sounds like they're down to either Alex Len or BMac so), they should target a SF like Tony Snell here. CBS Sports reports they are also interested in trading for Danny Granger. If they get Granger they'll clearly be in win-now mode. Snell could sit on the bench and learn from Granger for a few years before taking over and completing Cleveland's post-LeBron starting 5. |
 | 20. Withey is the best shot blocker in the draft, but that's his only stellar skill. He'll need to get stronger at the next level. He'd put up Omer Asik-type stats for the Bulls as their new defensive specialist off the bench. *Omer Asik |
 | 21. Gorgui Dieng boasts a solid all-around game and would provide valuable minutes off the bench backing up Kanter on the Jazz, who are set to lose both Millsap and Jefferson this summer with nothing to show for it after failing to trade either at the deadline. *Bismack Biyombo |
 | 22. Bebe is a project, but he's loaded with potential and is a solid rebounder. He's immature but won't have to join the Nets right away since they plan to re-sign Nik Pekovic. They just need bench depth, and I believe their Russian owner will end up falling in love with one of the international 1st round prospects and taking a chance on one (Karasev, Nogueira, Giannis, etc.). *Samuel Dalembert/Ryan Hollins |
 | 23. I've always been big on Hardaway as a first round pick. The Pacers need better bench scoring if they ever want to get past LeBron and the Heat and make it back to the Finals. Lance Stephenson and Gerald Green aren't cutting it. Son of former NBA PG Tim Hardaway. *Wes Matthews |
 | 24. Olynyk's lack of athleticism and subpar combine could cause him to drop on draft day. Though he makes up for that with a very polished offensive game. He would backup Tyson Chandler on the Knicks and push the injury prone Amar'e Stoudemire. *Luis Scola |
 | 25. A top 5 talent whose stock plummeted when he was kicked off Missouri's team before ever playing for the Tigers. Athletic, would fit right in with Lob City. Put up decent stats at North Texas. *Kenyon Martin/Tyrus Thomas |
 | 26. Muscala is a solid all-around big man who would provide frontcourt depth behind K Love and Pekovic, who might not be re-signed though the Wolves say they plan to re-sign the former first rounder. *Nick Collison |
 | 27. Karasev is an archetypical European prospect, he's a great passer who scores most of his points in catch-and-shoot situations. The Nuggets need wing depth. Andre Iguodala will test free agency and Danilo Gallinari will be out rehabbing his injury until February. *Eric Piatkowski |
 | 28. I don't know much about this guy, just that his stock has risen to the late first round. I DO know the Spurs like to draft and stash international talents late in both rounds of the draft and could like Jean-Charles at pick 28. |
 | 29. The Thunder go BPA for bench depth; they say they're targeting an international player with pick 29 but I don't see any worth taking except Jean-Charles, who was just drafted. DeShaun Thomas played surprisingly well for Ohio State this season and is one of my dark horse candidates to be a first round pick. *Thaddeus Young |
 | 30. Pick made by the Blazers from the Gortat-for-picks trade with the Suns. Bullock could end up being one of the steals of this draft. He's got a great shot and moves well without the ball. He didn't reach his full potential while at UNC so he's got lots of room to grow at the next level. The Blazers have said they're looking for a scoring guard this summer to take some of the pressure off of Lillard & Aldridge. *Klay Thompson/Kyle Korver |
 | 31. Wolters is a good floor general and models his game after Steve Nash. The Cavs should find a longterm backup for Kyrie Irving since Boobie Gibson is a free agent. *Kirk Hinrich |
 | 32. Allen Crabbe's got one of the smoothest shots in the draft, with a great release and good range on his 3 ball. He needs to work on developing a more consistent shot. I doubt OKC keeps this pick but if they do they'll probably just go BPA. Crabbe would be an offensive sparkplug off the bench a la Jordan Crawford for the Thunder. Kevin Martin's the starter and Jeremy Lamb is being groomed as his eventual replacement. |
 | 33. Omri Casspi sucks and C.J. Miles is a free agent. Ennis is a high flyer who could end up being a solid rotational player for the Cavs. *Trevor Ariza |
 | 34. Lorenzo Brown is a developing scorer, a good pick and roll player, can play up tempo and knows when to shoot and when to pass. Patrick Beverley played surprisingly well in the playoffs, but he only got that opportunity because Jeremy Lin has been a huge disappointment. Houston gets more PG depth here. *Greivis Vasquez |
 | 35. Archie Goodwin has loads of potential, he's one of the best scorers in the draft, but should drop after a disappointing freshman season at UK. He'd compliment Evan Turner coming off the bench in Philly. *Alec Burks/Iman Shumpert |
 | 36. Franklin is one of the most intriguing players in the draft, he can rebound like a PF and score like a guard. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he went in the top 20. He would be an upgrade over Marcus Thornton and replace Francisco Garcia in Sacramento/Seattle. *Terrence Williams |
 | 37. Trevor Mbakwe was a lottery prospect until the injury bug hit him hard, he also got arrested in October. He's a good rebounder so some team will take a chance on him. He'd be a solid backup for Greg Monroe in Detroit. *Lavoy Allen |
 | 38. Currently plays in the NBDL, I could see a team take a flyer on Rice because he's already got that contract. On the Wizards he'd play a Jordan Crawford type role without the huge ego. Son of former NBA swingman Glen Rice. |
 | 39. ACC Player of the Year Erick Green will be a second round pick but could sneak into the early second round or even late first round. He could be one of the steals of this draft, he'd be more backcourt depth for the Suns since Goran Dragic is a free agent. Maybe the Suns don't re-sign him and hand the team over to Kendall Marshall. |
 | 40. I have no idea; some random international player always goes in the mid second round. The Blazers could stash this guy overseas for more frontcourt depth. Marcin Gortat & J.J. Hickson now; Meyers Leonard & Laszlo Dobos later. |
 | 41. Wing depth, an area where Memphis is weak after trading Rudy Gay. James Southerland was one of the breakout players on Syracuse this season, averaging 13.5 PPG in the regular season and 11 during the team's Final Four run. |
 | 42. Depth behind Jrue Holiday, who will likely be re-signed. Isaiah Canaan is an efficient scorer and floor general who can break down a defense. Also let's not forget this game winner that he made back in 2010 that originally introduced us to him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqIJFRQbE2I *Jameer Nelson |
 | 43. C.J. Leslie is one of the best athletes in the draft, great length and a strong rebounder. He needs hit the weight room at the next level and add some upper body strength. Luc Mbah a Moute is a free agent, Leslie would compliment Ersan Ilyasova better anyway. *Hakim Warrick |
 | 44. Another young player with a ton of potential who didn't play last year after being ruled ineligible. I'll bet he spends almost all of next season in the D League if he makes a team's final roster. The Mavs need scoring because Orange Juice Mayonnaise has decided to sign elsewhere this offseason. |
 | 45. A special playmaker who's always looking for the open man, excellent ballhandler, extremely quick. Too raw to be a first round pick. The Blazers would groom him to be Damian Lillard's eventual backup. *Darren Collison |
 | 46. This guy really helped his draft stock at the Combine. Another area where the Jazz are weak is at the wing. Covington has a nice all-around skillset and would be an upgrade over Marvin Williams, who just plain sucks. |
 | 47. Now that Peyton Siva is a national champion, teams might be willing to take a flyer on him at the end of the second round. He's a good all-around player, with passing his best attribute. He'd provide leadership for whatever team he ends up on. Jeff Teague is a free agent and will get some big offers from teams come July. *AJ Price |
 | 48. Kenny Kadji can score in a variety of ways, has a nice touch on his jumpshot, and plays catch and shoot on offense; but is a liability on defense. With Dwight and Pau potentially gone, the Lakers should look for frontcourt depth with their only pick in the draft. |
 | 49. As the younger brother of one of the NBA's rising young All Stars, it'll be interesting to see where and if Seth Curry gets drafted. He's a dead-eye shooter like his brother, making him a good scoring option off the bench at the 2, but he has the PG skills to get his teammates involved and set up shots for them. He'd be a great fit on the Bulls as an offensive sparkplug off the bench. Chicago has to find legit scorers to take some of the pressure off of D Rose when he gets healthy. *Chauncey Billups/Stephen Curry |
 | 50. The Minnesota transfer would provide solid depth behind Al Horford. |
 | 51. Adonis Thomas is a natural athlete and is very effective around the basket. Despite his potential he will probably be a 2nd round pick or more likely go undrafted after underachieving in 2 seasons at Memphis. The Magic draft one more wing for depth since Hedo Turkoglu is getting up there in age and they already have Maurice Harkless to eventually replace Hedo in the starting 5. *Rodney Carney |
 | 52. An international player who the Wolves can stash overseas and bring over as a new backup for Ricky Rubio. Luke Ridnour will be 34 next season. |
 | 53. Another international prospect who I know very little about except that he's tremendous value this late in the draft. David West and Tyler Hansbrough are both free agents but at least one will probably be re-signed. They could take an international project like Lima as insurance in case they can't re-sign either. *Tyrone Hill |
 | 54. An explosive athlete with tremendous leading ability and a high motor. He is one of the steals of the draft this low and would be an upgrade over first round busts Kevin Seraphin and Chris Singleton. *Matt Barnes |
 | 55. A lanky wing player with the ability to score from both inside and out, he's got a good range on his jumper and has solid ballhandling for his position. Most likely won't come over next season. When he did come over he'd have a chance to replace Rudy Gay. *Rudy Fernandez |
 | 56. More backcourt depth for the Pistons. Scott's spotlight was stolen by Shane Larkin last season, but he's an efficient scorer who can also play some PG. The Pistons would like that versatility and might decide to take a flyer on him with this extra pick. |
 | 57. Dedmon is super athletic, dunks on almost every play and has good touch for a big man. Runs the court well, and could develop into a good back-to-the-basket player with improved hands. Marcin Gortat will likely be traded so the Suns should target frontcourt depth with this pick. *Jerome James |
 | 58. A well-rounded senior who should get some looks late in the second round. He's got great speed & athleticism and can score in buckets. Paul joins Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard in the stable of backcourt players who will one day replace Manu, whose career looks to be on the downswing after a disappointing NBA Finals. NBA Comparison- Ben Gordon |
 | 59. Ryan Kelly's 36 point outing against Miami was impressive, especially since it was his first game back from an injury. He'll get some looks in the second round. Kevin Love has voiced his discontent with the direction the T-Wolves franchise is headed. Maybe his view will change now that Kahn's out, we'll find out eventually. |
 | 60. Once again an international project is selected with the last pick in the draft. He would come over and be depth behind Z Bo. |
