My Mock Draft

Too early to do a mock draft when we don’t know who is entering and who is not entering. I don’t think Samhan goes that high. I don’t think Hobson enters the draft this year, same goes for Willie Warren. Willie won’t be in the draft unless he is a guaranteed 1st rounder. I don’t see Jimmer entering unless he is a 1st rounder as well. Eric Bledsoe jury is still out, I can see it going either way. Overall a solid mock. I think Da’Sean Butler sneaks into the 1st round.

Butler will go MUCH higher than that, I can see Butler going in the 15-20 range if he keeps performing well during the Tourney, he has been playing great as of latley hitting clutch shot after clutch shot.
I do not see Greg Monroe slipping past Milwaukee, I even think 11 is a little low for him..I could see a team like Detroit drafting him.
I do not think Jordan Crawford will declare for this year’s draft. But he will be a lottery pick if he stays for another year in next year’s draft.
If I was Memphis with the 29 pick I would take Vazquez over Armon Johnson.
I can see Quincy Pondexter sneaking into the first round.

DON’T BE SURPRISED IF JOHN WALL DOES NOT GO #1 OVERALL!!! IS THIS FARFETCHED CONSIDERING THE NETS WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE AT THE PICK, BUT HAVE AN ESTABLISHED POINT GUARD IN DEVIN HARRIS? OR WHAT DOES MINNESOTA DO WITH THE JOHNNY FLYNN AND RICKY RUBIO SITUATION? I AM INTERESTED TO SEE HOW THESE PICKS ARE GONNA TURN OUT.

There should be less freshman coming out early next year than this I think…..

will not fall past the Bucks at 11..how is Anderson a better fit for the Bucks when they have Salmons and Redd under contract for next year? PF is a bigger need for the Bucks, I see the Bucks taking Monroe or Patterson over Anderson.

despite the meteor size egg that (I knew they were overseeded) Georgetown laid against Ohio, I think Monroe’s play in the Big East tourney improved his stock…..and with the Princeton offense being the next big thing in the NBA he is a perfect fit and I can’t see him falling past 10…..

idk how he got the label soft either????? Just because he has perimeter skills doesn’t make him soft…..

Ewww no way he goes first round. Dude is already 22 years old and from a physical standpoint he is average at best. Washington exposed him IMO as nothing more than a 6,7 passer who can get streaky from outside. Mid-late 2nd rounder. James Anderson going to Milwaukie makes no sense. You say Salmons is a bench player, but James Anderson won’t be anything more than a shooter…He’s not a good defender at all (Idk why people think he is on this site).

Solid mock though.

He’s not a great defender. His speed is marginal to say the least. He’s had some impressive games…So? He’s an NBA prospect, every NBA prospect has had some good games.

He’s a good player..

I also like his game, he can score aswell as pass and rebound, he is a solid defender as well.
He is a good prospect who can go anywhere from 17- 25

I like him more than Gordon Heyward who many view as a first rounder

Why do mocks have him as a late 2nd round pick? He’s good. I’m not denying that. But he is a tweener. And he is already 22 turning 23. Heyward is 19 and is almost as good, if not as good as Hobson. Not trying to take anything away from the guy, but he is limited as a prospect. Nice passer though.

I can’t say that I like Hobson better than Hayward….he’s 2nd round value…..it seems fairly obvious that Temple got screwed by the comittee while New Mexico was waaaaaaayyy overseeded…. A-10 >>>>>>>>>>> Mountain West

Well temple did get beat badly by Cornell so…
atleast New mexico got past the first round
and Wash may have been a 11 seed but they are still a major conference school..

I like Arinze in your draft but why no Andy Rautins?

Knicksboy, you’re only saying those teams were overseeded because they got eliminated early. As for prospects, Samhan is not going to shoot up to top 10 in the 2nd round from going to undrafted to doing great in the tournament. I spoke to someone who knows Jimmer’s family and said they’re going to test waters, but won’t jump unless have a guarantee in the first round. You also have to put into consideration Jimmer may want to stay his senior year and earn his degree. As for your case about Monroe being soft, I don’t think he is soft rather his game is a finesse game where he wants to focus on helping his team. What Monroe lacks is a killer instinct as in when the game is on the line he doesn’t take over when it is necessary.

this is the problem with Rautins….he’s getting a lot of credit for his defense this year but in the zone at the top he’s all up on 6-1 guys every game……last year when Paul Harris was out Rautins had to play the back line against bigger more athletic guys (ie. guys he will be defending in the NBA) and got exposed BAD…..if he were an elite shooter like JJ Redick or I thought he could play the point for real I would feel a lot better about saying he would make a decent NBA player….that being said I have him somewhere in the late 60’s early 70’s right now so he should and probably will get drafted…..

I think Samhan is a guy to draft in the 45-60 area

I did…..and yes NM should have lost to Montana……I think Baylor was a little overseeded too…..or maybe it was just a mediocre year for that area cuz as I look at the 4, 5, 6’s I can’t really see any of them as a 3 either…..Pitt wasn’t overseeded but Georgetown sure was….they were on the bubble like 3 weeks ago…

Aminu is a better rebounder. Ebanks is I can go on and on about rebounders. Hobson plays pf for that team anyways…He should rebound. Yes, he is a very nice passer….And? That’s literally all he’s got going for him.

he might declare

Wes Johnson has played 3 seasons of Division 1 college basketball as to Hobson who just played his first season in a high mid-major conference.

in a photo finish over Johnson and both miles ahead of Hobson

I’m taking Aminu and not thinking twice about it. Let’s put it this way, if Aminu was 22-23 what stats would he be putting up?

I think all 3 are very good, but it depends on the team drafting. If it is a team rebuilding I go with Aminu, but if it’s a team who is a borderline playoff team I got to go with Wes. Hobson is a 3rd option. For age and lack of division 1 experience (1 season).

Aminu and Wes wont be around at the 18-30 pick.. so Hobson is a good choice THERE
