making a mock draft

The mock draft is basically a big board right until the lottery, team needs shouldn’t be accounted for because you don’t know what the teams will be. So simply put the 10th best prospect at ten.

 If it’s a talent issue with the end of your top tier and you don’t really know after that, then you should decide between players you have in the next tier.

 Given you are seemingly not sold on anybody, I think you should consider someone you have not really seen but check all the boxes in theory for you (maybe Hartenstein? euro bigs often succeed, no good Cs in your list so far) and have a good reputation or someone you think is destined t go in the 20s but you really like, perhaps even more than all these guys.

I personally am among guys who think Giles can’t fall outside the lottery and would be picked up around this spot, where the risk starts to make sense. High risks high upside with Giles or Anunoby there makes more sense than people think. Among teams that should end in that area (Dallas, Portland, Minnesota, New York, Charlotte, Milwaukee, Miami, Detroit and Sacramento’s New Orleans pick) I think more than half would take a high risk high reward player. It should become imo (with the list you have so far, not mine): team need a PG: Fox, team has a PG: higher upside player left, probably Giles or Anunoby, even with the high risk.
