NBADraft.net User Mock Draft

The owner of the pick said he wasn’t going to be here. Look at the bottom of their war room for their pick.

 With the 6th pick in the 2012 Nbadraft.net user mock draft, the Portland Trail Blazers select: Andre Drummond.

He fills the hole at Center for us and with his upside and the opportunity  to learn from LaMarcus Aldridge he has a great chance to reach his potential.

 the Toronto Raptors select: Jeremy Lamb

 Crap lol I was just here 10 mins ago. Sorry didn’t know we started. You got the pick right through.

Good athletic player that brings production with a ton of upside, great shooting stroke, and a huge wingspan. He has top 5 talent and grabbing him here would be a steal if he can fulfill his potential.

Wait… is this user mock draft different from the one initially proposed by another user (don’t remember his name) because I asked to get the 76ers’ pick???!! I might have missed it lately because I was passing my end-of-high-school exams this week

Becoming a little bit crowded in the frontcourt on the Warriors. They really could have used a SF or a SG. 

wher is this clock?

Could you make a list of who’s been taken so far?

Just go with Waiters

Are there trades? If my guy isn’t there at 13, I’ll trade 13 to you for 16 and cash or something.

No No No we should have gone with Waiters!!!!!!!!!!!

 With the 11th pick in the 2012 Nbadraft.net user mock draft, the Portland Trail Blazers select: Kendall Marshall.

Well, Lillard is already taken and we need a Pointguard. No trades are allowed so the best thing to do is to reach for Marshall. He will be great running the floor with our young guys and playing pick and roll with Drummond and Aldridge. He will have to work on his defense though.

 Why? We already have Matthews who is in his prime and is a good starting Sg in the league. And we don’t have a legit Pointguard on our roster.

 I had family time in the pool with my girls….

Who’s on the clock…and can I get the Draft Order…

There’s nothing from jrbenzcuse in his war room and he didn’t show up. Just another reason for me to hate this guy.

I’m not positive but I think JrBenzCuse was talking about Zeller in his thread.

Haha oh…

With the 13th pick in the 2012 NBA draft, the Phoenix Suns select Dion Waiters, shooting guard from Syracuse.

Terrence Ross Shooting Guard Washington…

Sorry I missed it. But TOL-23 got the pick right. The Warriors go with Meyers Leonard for the following reasons:

1) the warriors have no big man depth behind Bogut and Lee. Biedrins is a zombie at this point in his career. Tyler is raw as hell right now.

2) Leonard’s got the frame, the athleticism, and the potential. He’s a good value pick as well.

3) Klay cannot guard SFs. He’s a 2 guard. So while Waiters is a better player than Leonard right now, having him only solidifies the 3 guard rotation of Curry/Thompson/Waiters, and does nothing to fill the hole at 3.

I’ll be here for the 30th pick.

Marshall is too much of a ? and i don’t think he will be a starter on a playoff team, oh well I am sure in the real draft we will trade up to get lillard.

The 76ers need an outside shooter on the roster, our best 3point threat is a Free Agent(Jodi Meeks)

Not to mention Lou Williams has opted out of his last year and leaves us thin in the backcourt…

Turner will slide to Sf if we can find a Trade Partner for Andre Iguadola…We want a Power Foward…

I could have drafted Sullinger, Henson or PJ III but I felt like Ross was the safer pick and a sure fire Steal at 15…

I’m willing to trade Andre Iguadola to Minnesota for the 18th pick, Darko Milicic and The Rights to Micheal Beasley(Sign and trade, 5 years/42 million dollar extension) 

 I probably wont’t be around when picks 41&42 come, so:

We want to draft another Pg and another Center to come off the bench for us.

My board would be:

Pg

Tomas Satoransky

Tyshawn Taylor

Maalik Wayns

Josep Franch

C

Henry Sims

Robert Sacre

(At least one of them should be available)

But… IF DARIUS JOHNSON-ODOM IS AVAILABLE WE WILL PICK HIM INSTEAD OF THE CENTER. He is a great shooter and with a Pg like Marshall and an already dangerous frontcourt with Aldridge and Drummond coming in he will get plenty of open looks.

Terrence Jones SF/PF Kentucky.

The T’Wolves get Iggy and the 54th pick

The Sixers get Brad Miller(Buy Out), Martell Webster and the 18th pick(Jared Sullinger/Perry Jones III)…

it works on the NBA trade machine…

The Wolves get an lock down Sf to run with Rubio, Williams and Love…

The Sixers get an underrated rookie Pf in Sullinger/Jones III and a 3 point shooter in Webster, Miller would be bought out of his contract…

Can you post another draft summary soon?

 Some reasoning for me picking MKG. The guy has the desire and love of the game. Work ethic is sometimes overlooked when talking about prospects. The man provides leadership and although shot needs work MKG is a outstanding finisher at the rim. His 6’7 230 frame allows him to be a lockdown defender and has the potential to guard at 4 different positions. For me I honestly think Gerald Wallace is his floor. Him and Kyrie have previous played with one another as well which is also a plus.

 guys im not going to be here at the pacers pick for 26, so my big board is this. nicholson – lamb -fournier -teague – melo – taylor – ezili

Mavs need help behind Dirk and while PJIII was available I feel the UK Jones brings more versatility and while he has had his own issues with consistency , I see a better motor and more versatility.  With the potential to play both forward spots he could be a matchup nightmare at 6’9+ 250+ and a 7’2 wingspan.  Hopefully can give them many of the things they were looking for from Lamar Odom when they picked him up lat year.

 Yeah, you convinced me that we need another Pg more than another wing.

Haha davidstern took my analysis for the Portland picks lol

 Why did you select for me?

Can you post picks 1-19?

Is Sullinger still available?

If he is Denver takes him to be our scoring big. Three seven footers in McGee, Koufos and Mozgov can help to make up for some of his issues on D. He will help our half court offence by scoring on the block, from the perimeter and on offensive put-backs. Was a top 5 pick coming in so we take the risk despite the health concerns.

 Jared Cunningham from Oregon State University

Pick 21-Andrew Nicholson-versatile big that can score inside and out. Celtics need size after potentially losing Out on Bass and Green and dare I say perhaps KG?
Pick 22-Jeffery Taylor-NBA ready wing that is a very good athlete and defender. Good role player for the Celts. He’s also an underrated shooter and hopefully his offensive skills will continue to develop.

Royce White and Festus Ezeli would have been a smart choice to play Pf or C next to Horford…

@Zachb…You also passed on Royce White for an older Sf in Taylor, Why??? You could have drafted Taylor’s team mate John Jenkins and that would have made more sense…Ray Allen is likely to leave in FA… 

Along with PJ III and Sullinger…

TOL23, nice combo of Rivers and Henson, that would be very nice for Houston, but in reality I think Rivers and Henson go before The Rockets select at 14…

I knwe people would let bias and Hype get in the way of making smart moves…

Jared Cunninham at 23, maybe you think he’ll have an Iman Shumpert type of impact on Defense…The Hawks just don’t need a player like that…Wow…I’m amazed…

 Thunder Draft War Room signing in. I timed that fairly well.

 With the 24th pick the Cavs select… Doron Lamb Sg UK

Wow does the Cavs need 3 point shooting badly! With the only serious 3 point threats being Kyrie Irving and Daniel Gibson. Lamb provides another 3 point shooter with solid size at 6’5 200 pounds. Like MKG played for  nation championship team UK and provides excellent leadership.

Royce White sliding this far is unbelieveable…People did hear about him dominating all the other Pf’s in the class, and he’s about as versatile as a college player gets…Now it looks like The Thunder, Bulls or Heat may get the guy…

Do people know how the Draft works??? You are supposed to draft the best player possible…

Several Players have leap frogged Royce White and for no good reason…Is it because he played at Iowa State???

// Name dropping

You’re right you know everything (sarcasm). Did you think I forgot that Royce White and John Jenkins were on the board? Danny Ainge said that he is going to be aggresive in making one last run so KG and Ray Allen will return more likely than not. If you watched the Celtics you would see that 90% of the time the offense is initiated by either Rajon Rondo or Paul Pierce, so the Celtics wouldn’t even be able to use Royce White’s best abilites most of the time. There has been a revolving door of backup wings the last few years and Jeff Taylor would bring more stability there. I think Jeff Taylor’s a top 20 prospect because he is, as I said, already an excellent athlete and an excellent defender that can guard multiple positions, and his offensive skills have significantly imrpoved while he was at Vandy and even though he was a 4 year player he still has a lot of potential in the NBA, especially learning behind a crafty scorer in Paul Pierce. So I think when Paul Pierce retires, Jeff Taylor can be the C’s next starting SF, and even if Taylor doesn’t develop, he can be a very good role player for a decade.

 Yeah, I wasn’t paying attention that White or Teague was still on the board , but I do believe that Cunningham will turn into a good nba player because of his ability to shoot from the perimeter, his ability to attack of the bounce, and his willingness to play defense and get his teammates involved.

Yea I would of taken Royce White at 20 for Denver if it was up to me.  Though his anxiety issues do raise some red flags , ability wise he is a top 10 talent.

 I was thinking about taking a high risk/ high reward player in Royce White or Quincy Miller but I just don’t think they would be very good fits for the Cavs.

wow i cant believe this guy is still on the board ima make this pick real quick with the 27th pick the miami heat select royce white from iowa st ! for obvious reasons he is a top 10 talent with his only knock being he has a fear of flying but on the court he is a monster and i feel this is a steal in the draft!!

 The Thunder select Quincy Miller with 28th pick, he has great length for an SF and will be great for certain match ups plus he may have versatility to play a position either side of SF in due course. Also he can allow KD to reduce his minutes per game a bit as and when required.

With the 29th pick in the 2012 NBA draft, the Chicago Bulls select, John Jenkins from Vanderbilt University.

It’s been known for years that the Bulls need a SG.  Rip Hamiliton is just a stop gap.  Jenkins will help spread the floor for Rose and will give the Bulls a nice scoring option at the two.  He’s also said to have a great work ethic and will fit in well with Thibadeau’s system.

With the 30th pick the Warriors select Fab Melo.

Melo is a big who can defend and pass. He can anchor a zone, and if he works on his conditioning and shot he can develop an offensive game.

I honestly didn’t expect to see him here at this pick, but Melo’s got some potential even with his questionable bball iq.

I’d like to hear Aran’s thoughts on our draft.

The biggest question I have is why would Golden St. take two centers in Leonard (7th) and Fab Melo (30th)? I also thought Jared Cunningham was a head scratcher. Can’t believe Royce White fell that low with all the recent hype.

Never in a million years thought that at 20 Denver would have the choice of Sullinger, Royce White and Dorron Lamb. If the draft works out this way for us I will be extremely pleased. Honestly feel some of the guys drafted from mid-latter stages of the round could settle into the NBA quicker than some of those drafted 1-10.

biggest joke in this mock is Wroten falling out of the first round. His shortcoming are well documented on this site and across the basteball universe, but he is one of the few guys in the draft outside of Anthony Davis who has a superstar cieling. I dont see him slipping past any of the teams with two first round picks, and I wouldnt be surprised if portland takes him at 11 next week. I cant beleive a single NBA GM has Jared Cunningham ahead of him on draft boards. Cunningham has all the same red flags- position questions, no jumper, turnover prone, with none of Wroten’s upside.

double post

 Thanks for doing the Charlotte pick for me TOL23. Looks like it went well

On behalf of those involved in the draft, just wanna say thanks to Tongue-Out-Like-23 and also Legendary Poster. Did a great job organizing this in the time you had. Look forward to next years.

Thanks again

Seamo

 Finally getting a chance to look at the draft! I liked this! Great selections and some surprises in there but its good to see this from a forum. I would love to see how this draft compares to the final mock and the actual draft. Maybe we should see how this ranks (or how many points it gets) on the draft contest. 

This was a great read from start to finish. Thanks guys for taking it seriously and keeping comments relative and interesting. Props to Grandmama for grabbing Jenkins for my Bulls. I have been hoping he’ll slide to us since he declared!  Well done everyone!

 Hey im sorry i had a baseball game and I didn’t see this was at 12 until 2 PM…i feel bad and i apologize i was leaning toward taking PJ3 but would have gone Moultrie over Zellef if he was still available

Props to Grandmama for grabbing Jenkins for my Bulls

Gracias, I’m hoping we can snag him or Doron Lamb.  Hopefully one of those two falls to us.

Thanks to everybody involved especially Legendary Poster for making my selection and getting the player I coveted the most while I was at the Phillies game watching Jim Thome hit a walk off homerun.
