Pacersfan22ParticipantThis is my first mock draft of the year. I have added comments for all 60 picks. Please let me know what you guys think of it, any constructive criticism is welcomed. Thanks! nbadraft.net/nba_mock_drafts/comments/68470/2014

drpg913ParticipantYour comments for the first pick doesn’t really make sense. Anybody else at the 1st pick would be a much riskier pick. We already know Embiid is 7ft and athletic. His injury concerns are the only risk but I believe that they are over blown. Wiggins is more Raw as a wing than Embiid is as a center. Jabari is very similar to Bennet so it doesn’t really make sense for them to take him. Embiid is the OBVIOUS choice at No.1

Kinguy11ParticipantA pretty good mock. That top 8 is same as mine so I have no qualms there.
Robinson to OKC is my first problem. The Thunder have a huge weakness in consistant scoring options, an area that Robinson won’t help. He has athletism but the Thunder already have young, athletic guys in Lamb, Roberson, Jones and Adams. I see them taking a consistant college scorer who can hit the outside shot.
I see the Pistons taking a different player for similar reasons. They only have one pick and lack outside shooting options, something that Van Gundy values. I see them using the draft as a way to get a shooter.
Also, despite the Spurs love of international players, I don’t see them drafting two guys who won’t come over immediately. They’ll have players retire and take larger contracts elsewhere following their latest championship and will want to retool with young players to keep their "championship window" open as long as possible.

Pacersfan22ParticipantI agree on the Thunder pick. I was going to give them Jordan Adams but swapped him and Robinson spots at 21 and 23 at the last minute, and you’re definitely right on the Spurs just fell into that international craze when picking for them because nurkic was too good to pass on in the 1st round and Dangubic seemed intriguing. Russ Smith could be a potential selection with one of the last two picks as a replacement for Patty Mills and have Cory Joseph take over as the backup point guard. Appreciate the feedback!

ExumInfernoParticipantClose enough to perfect, although Charlotte at pick 9 are drafting a player for the bench. They can use some depth at guard as they have Walker, Henderson, Neal. But Jefferson does need more shooting around him, so McDermott would seem to be a good chance.
LaVine could be exciting with Denver. The Suns get Saric and Anderson, some people think they are both point forwards, which could be good or bad for Phoenix.
No Patric Young, he seems like someone a team would want who can play and defend next year.
The Chicago picks are very good, depth up front and a backup point guard.

Pacersfan22ParticipantPatric Young should definitely have a shot at being drafted due to his defensive effort that he displays on the floor every game. I wanted to put Young in the draft but had a hard time finding the right spot mainly due to this class being so talented and deep this year. There may be a few solid players go undrafted this year that are on rosters on opening night. Appreciate the feedback!

williamaParticipantThe first is “what does acne look like?” followed easily by “which meals cause eczema?” As you might anticipate, this is a query that provides important weight as there are many individuals who have this situation, which is not only annoying (itchiness, dryness) but can be cause for discomfort.
