[OhCanada-Participant]

Pelicans are on the clock! 

[Memphis MadnessParticipant]

 Zion has a high floor. What’s his ceiling? Ja Morant looks like a star.  

[juves4783Participant]

 what a crazy last 30 minutes.  can’t remember changing my mock so much at the end.

[draftmangtParticipant]

Apparently they’re targeting Garland at 5, will be interesting to see how they handle their backcourts l moving forward 

[ZarathustraParticipant]

 WOJ and Shams are annoying kids, hate this spoiling competition, Beta-Males !

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Would love to see Woj get something wrong.

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 Staying off twitter at this point in time is probably the best just in case you don’t want to get spoiled.

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 Do the Pels really need 5 mins to draft Zion lol

[OhCanada-Participant]

 LOL at the bye bye Solomon Hill sign.

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 How about the dude who has the Zion jersey haha

[Bad DogParticipant]

LMAO. Aside from my 3 yr old son telling me he has the sh!ts today, that sign was the funniest thing I’ve seen all day. 

[TravelinTravParticipant]

 Twolves trade Saric and 11th pick to Phoenix? I’m not watching live is this true?

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Yep.

[nick5354Participant]

 Did anyone else cry while watching the Zion interview? He seems very humble, that interview hit me like a ton bricks. Such raw emotion – I’m really rooting for him to make it as a top 2 player on the league 

[BlueRivers25Participant]

 Tear

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Okay. Barrett at 3 now the draft begins.

Tried to switch Hunter to 4th at 7:05 but the create your mock feature was closed so Im hoping they pick Culver lol.

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Damnit!

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 Maple Mamba, well that’s a good nickname

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 Interesting to see how a Sexton-Garland would work? Could the Cavs end up trading Sexton?

[HitsterParticipant]

 Garland to Cavs is interesting are they going to use Sexton perhaps in the SG role as he didn’t average a high amount of assists this season just gone. I’d assume that they would play together and a lot of teams effectively run a double PG backcourt.

[BlueRivers25Participant]

The Wolves draft Culver over White. Means they believe Tyus Jones can run the point with Culver/Wiggins on the wings. 

[JDB12Participant]

 I’m more than heart broken we didn’t take White as a Wolves fan. Scoring lead guards are what win in today’s NBA and I think White will be a star… Hopefully the Nets let Dlo go and we can pick him up…

[BlueRivers25Participant]

 And the Bulls get their PG with White

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Sideshow Bob?

[Dazzling Dunks and Basketball BloopersParticipant]

Jaxson Hayes at 8 first minor surprise to me.  

[juves4783Participant]

me too….guess it made sense but i thought it was reddish at 8 and bol at 17…

[SeattleSuperChronicsParticipant]

 LOB CITY Lonzo Zion Hayse

[Scrooge McDuckParticipant]

I Got the white And hayes pick correct lolz  

[BlueRivers25Participant]

Nice, but you the only person to miss on RJ and Culver.  

[Arc12345Participant]

I really loved the pick for the Wizards and I truly agree with Chauncey Billups comparison – a YOUNG Kawhi Leonard.

I believe he’s going to work his ass off and develop his shot and handle to become a great small forward. All of the tools are there.

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Yep I agree. Ive been comparing him to a "young Kawhi" all year. He plays a very fundimentally sound game and is always thinking about what the smart play is. Cerebral player.

Also. Man when I do my draft grades I gotta give the Hawks a C or something. You come away with Hunter and Reddish when at 10 and 17 you couldve gotten Doumbaya and Porter Jr.

[Arc12345Participant]

I like the Reddish pick. That’s good value for someone with his level of talent. Worth the risk in my opinion as I believe his talent is undeniable.

The Hunter pick…I just can’t get behind it. I see him being a severely less valuable NBA player than Reddish and for what we gave up to get him, that’s unacceptable. Depending on how this shakes out it could’ve been something like: Hachimura, Reddish, Bol/Herro, and Williams/Edwards.  

That kills me.

[Evan_MilbergParticipant]

Very happy with the Wizards taking Haichimura. Most fans wanted Reddish or Doumbouya, but Haichimura was the smart pick. He’s got a lower ceiling than other forwards in this draft, but he’s going to bring an infusion of some much-needed energy and he fits well with their personnel. I see him filling the role Oubre had before he was traded.

[juves4783Participant]

how far does he fall? 

[BlueRivers25Participant]

 10th. Not far at all. 

[BleedGreen808Participant]

Cam Johnson at 11?  What in the world is Phoenix doing today?

[Snatalini247Participant]

I get that hes an NBA ready shooter and all but isn’t Bridges just the same thing with a lot more D… Suns got over their point guard fetish now to just have a wing fetish

[kobyzParticipant]

 He’s a legit dead eye, tall shooter, like Peja, kley level..

 

[juves4783Participant]

guess 2 mikal bridges are better than 1…lol.  mind is blown by that pick…

[The GoatParticipant]

 Phoenix are jokng right? They could’ve got him 10 picks later easily! I thought the Cavs just jumped in to squeeze an extra asset out if Minny and they were going to flip Garland and Culver. This is a major surprise twist in this deal. 

[BlueRivers25Participant]

 Cam is a nice shooter but he’s not a 4 and cant defend on the wings. Could of gotten Cam Johnson in the 20s. 

[Bad DogParticipant]

 Cam Johnson at 11? Wtf?

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Shooters shoot. Never sleep on a shooter on draft day.

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 Suns are smoking crack today damn.

[The GoatParticipant]

 It’s still a decent return for Phoenix – Saric and Johnson for #6 – and I guess it’s a lot of shooting they have now with Booker as well. Ayton will be able to operate, and a so-so shooter like Rozier or Rubio can get picked up as a FA. 

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 When a Herro comes along, with the strength to carry on…. WELCOME TO SOUTH BEACH TYLER HERRO

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Boston gets an absolute steal with Romeo Langford. 6’6 combo gaurd with top 5 talent in this draft. Had a thumb injury this year which messed up his shooting percentages.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Yep . . .  

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Pistons pick Sekou Doumbaya?

[BlueRivers25Participant]

 Little dropping!!!!

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Hes going next. Either him or Okpala.

[BlueRivers25Participant]

 Nope. Nice try though

[The GoatParticipant]

 Impala, Little or Keldon Johnsonnext, surely

[The GoatParticipant]

 Impala lol autocorrect was always gonna happen

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Wow. Okeke at 16 thats a bigger shocker than Cam Johnson at 11 to me.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

I like Okeke, but coming off that ACL tear . . .  Late first round maybe, but not 16th

[CynthiaParticipant]

Some interesting reaches going on here.

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Boston is gonna end up with 3 very talented young players here.

[juves4783Participant]

i feel like i was lied to by many nba insiders….

 

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Hell NAW! Love this pick gonna be fun watching NAW play with Zion.

[BlueRivers25Participant]

Goga gets drafted before Bol Bol and Little

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Pacers trade coming?

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

I’m wondering the same thing . . . It’s like they drafted a lesser Myles Turner  

[Bad DogParticipant]

 I’d say Little is going next to the Spurs but I get the feeling they may go with Claxton

[juves4783Participant]

i think claxton had ties to SA.

[Bad DogParticipant]

 Nope and nope. Samanic was the pick. Had the right team but at the wrong selection (29th on my mock)

[juves4783Participant]

evidently, i spent a lot of wasted time trying to get my mock draft close.  last pick right was at 5…  wow, worst year ever.  

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Forgot to put Samanic in my mock. I knew he had a 1st round promise after the combine though never thought hed go this high.

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 Little is dropping like whoa. Spurs pick Samanic. Typical Spurs pick I guess

[juves4783Participant]

langford, little and bol – if someone last year said boston would end up with 3 top 10 HS players, we would all laugh…

[CynthiaParticipant]

I had Spurs getting Samanic at 29…they should have went for Little at 19 I feel like he fell right in their lap and is their type of player.

[Dazzling Dunks and Basketball BloopersParticipant]

 Celtics gotta gamble on bol with one of these picks. 

[juves4783Participant]

ainge didn’t want picks and then picks up another pick…lol 

[OhCanada-Participant]

 All the talent is sliding so hes trading down. Lol he could still end up with Bol Bol and Nassir Little.

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Why they gotta always be asking questions about dead relatives. Fucking media pisses me off.

[Dazzling Dunks and Basketball BloopersParticipant]

 Not a huge fan of the sixers moving up to get thybulle. Sixers need shooting and I thought they could’ve probably got thybulle at 24 anyway.

[juves4783Participant]

i heard that thybulie had a promise with OKC.

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Thybulle reminds me of Danny Green decent pick for a playoff team.

[MkadozaParticipant]

 I know I’m reaching because of appearence, but Thybulle got some Thabo Sefalosha in his game.

[BleedGreen808Participant]

I’m very dissppointed that Boston let Brandon Clarke go past them at 20.  Hope Boston makes some good picks at 24 and 33 to make up for it.  

[The GoatParticipant]

 Little and Bol slipping badly. Some major surprises. Tacko could get picked the way this is going! 

[MkadozaParticipant]

 You think Bol Bol giving off too many Thon Maker / Johnathan Bender vibes?

[Dazzling Dunks and Basketball BloopersParticipant]

 I’d go Claxton if I’m okc here

[Dazzling Dunks and Basketball BloopersParticipant]

 Or reach on Bazley I guess lol

[MkadozaParticipant]

 Bazley goes before Little. Holy crapola.

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Looks like 11-40 is anybodys guess in this draft. GM’s seem to have very different opinions on the talent levels here and guys are just picking BPA on their draft boards. Reminds me of the 2016 draft.

[CynthiaParticipant]

Thought my Thunder was going to get a steal with either Bol Bol or Little, but Bazley not too bad.

[The GoatParticipant]

 Ty Jerome to Phoenix means they have lights out 3 point shooting with Booker, Johnson and Saric

[OhCanada-Participant]

 You called that one. Great pick by the Suns.

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 Damn. Portland drafting Little to possibly replace Aminu. Great pick

[BlueRivers25Participant]

 Little poormans Moe Harkless, short Aminu. 

[Bad DogParticipant]

It appears that teams picking in the mid to late first are targeting specialist types or players with an NBA ready skill. Guys like Little or Bol are  probably considered to be too much of project types for most playoff teams. 

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 Bol Bol, Keldon and Kabengele are still available wow

[Evan_MilbergParticipant]

So much for the Fernando and Kabengele hype. SMH. After all the post-combine noise, I’m gonna be annoyed if these guys slip to the 2nd round.

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Im buying a 2nd round pick asap. These guys are still talented players idc who decides to pass on them.

[CynthiaParticipant]

I’ve never seen teams pick so safely, usually half the first round is prospects. This draft is mind blowing.

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 KABENGELE.

[Evan_MilbergParticipant]

Good move by the Clippers. They needed frontcourt depth and there’s a lot of it in this draft.  

[OhCanada-Participant]

 If Kabangele adopts Harrells mentality. Scary.

[OhCanada-Participant]

 ?Huuh?

[juves4783Participant]

i’m at a loss with this draft.  poole wasn’t even on my mock.

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Keldon Johnson is still available.

[CynthiaParticipant]

Me either, Warriors just love to piss everyone off.

[BleedGreen808Participant]

Surprised they didn’t take a shot on KPJ or Claxton.  

[Dazzling Dunks and Basketball BloopersParticipant]

 Warriors really took Poole in first round smh

[juves4783Participant]

guess i’m wondering what was the deal with all the claxton hype.  i had him at 10 because i convinced myself of an atlanta promise.  guess his agent did a great job of smoke screening us…

[Bad DogParticipant]

 Spurs got a steal at 29 with Keldon Johnson. If any team is capable of extracting a player’s talent, it’s the Spurs. 

[MkadozaParticipant]

 Spurs are killing this draft. In 4 years and Johnson and  Samanic are top 10 player from this drafts, no one will be surprised.

[OhCanada-Participant]

 KPJ could be a sleeper for rookie of the year.

[Lebron’s HairlineParticipant]

 KPJ a guy with character issues around JR lol

[BlueRivers25Participant]

 How far Bol Bol drops? 

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Boston wont pass again I dont think.

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Next pick is Paschall I think.

[Dazzling Dunks and Basketball BloopersParticipant]

Claxton is good value at 31. There’s a lot of potential there 

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 Wow, Claxton and Allen. Nice

[OhCanada-Participant]

Edit was just praising Pacers for picking Okpala then they traded him lol. Pacers have a bad habit for trading away talented wings .

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 

Welcome to South Beach KZ Okpala

[Dazzling Dunks and Basketball BloopersParticipant]

Fernando at 34. There’s some good talent in the 2nd round.  

[Dazzling Dunks and Basketball BloopersParticipant]

Fernando at 34. There’s some good talent in the 2nd round.  

[Dazzling Dunks and Basketball BloopersParticipant]

Not sure what the medical reports on bol were but I never imagined he’d drop this far. 

[OhCanada-Participant]

 At this point Im hoping him or Jontay Porter falls to the Raptors lol.

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Really like Sirvydas forgot all about this guy, didnt even know he entered the draft. This dude is a baller.

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 Solid pick by the Warriors by taking Eric Paschall

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 There goes my boy Admiral. Philly got a good one right there.

[Ahkasi ClayParticipant]

 Only 8 picks till my Jazz get Bol Bol. ????????????????

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 F@ck YEAH. BOL BOL at 44 BAYBEEEEEE

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 DAMMIT

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 Double post sorry

[The GoatParticipant]

 Nuggets gonna have MPJ and Bol in 5 years, look back at where they were picked and laugh. 

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Expect the Kings to pick Adam Mokoka here.

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Or Jontay Porter.

[The GoatParticipant]

Gonna score pretty low this year I think. I didn’t have Poole or Justin James on my board at all. 

[SwatLakeCityParticipant]

 Yeah, me too. I have 80 points so far. Usually by this time I’m in the 90’s or close to 100. This is such a weak draft with a ton of role players. Always hard to mock these kind of drafts.

[-Aria-Participant]

 Pretty happy with my nuggets getting bol bol, I really hope he pans out, between him and mpj we got some exciting young kids (exluding murry, jokic, and the well known crew)

[OhCanada-Participant]

 As long as medical bills dont count towards the salary cap you should be fine.

[The GoatParticipant]

Atlanta has ended up with Hunter, Reddish and Fernando. Hawks fans happy with that? Not bad to add to Young, Huerter, Bembry, Spellman and Collins. Thats 8 young guys that are going to get a lot of reps together in real NBA minutes.

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Hawks got Fernando? Yeah Arc better be happy with that one, rounds out the whole draft for them.

[Arc12345Participant]

Relatively happy – Hawks continue to overthink their top pick but whatever.

[SwatLakeCityParticipant]

 When did the Jazz get the 50th pick from the Pacers? I thought they only had the 53rd after they traded for Mike Conley with the 23rd pick. Did the Pacers just get Rubio, and the Jazz dealt the 53rd pick to select at 50?

[The GoatParticipant]

 I don’t get this Culver pick. They gave away Saric. They just got Okogie and are paying Wiggins crazy money. Thats Minny !!

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 BPA. Obviously they wanted Garland but the Cavs got him thus the Culver pick.

[The GoatParticipant]

 Over/under – 0.5 

Tacko Falls drafted

 

What you got

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Mariol Shayok goes to Philly and I think thats a great pick by them. He should be a role player as a rookie.

[Wahoo757Participant]

Too frail, average athlete, not a tough defender, and not good enough offensively off the ball. I’d be surprised if he lasts more than a couple years. 

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Did you watch him this year because he was absolutely amazing off the ball.

[OhCanada-Participant]

Jalen Lecque

Moses Brown

Simi Shittu

Shamorie Ponds

Kyle Guy

Louis King

Kris Wilkes

Jayle Hoard

Marial Shayok

Joshua Obiesie

Ky Bowman

Oshae Brissett

Tacko Fall

Austin Wiley

Jordan Bone

Jontay Porter

Jaylen Hands

Adam Mokoka

DaQuan Jeffrie

Terence Davis

Lou Dortz

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 Damn even Coby White is shocked Cam Johnson got drafted at 11 but hey he’s happy for him

[BleedGreen808Participant]

Man this was probably my hardest draft to mock.  I haven’t tallied it up but I missed at least 6 guys who ended up getting drafted.  

[khaled_a_dParticipant]

 Nope, 2013 was still the hardest one to mock

In 2019 you at least get top3 right, in 2013 no one got 1st pick right

[BleedGreen808Participant]

2015 was my first mock so I’m assuming this was my worst year yet.  

[OhCanada-Participant]

 At 59 Raptors pick Dewan Hernandez and Jurassic Park is going crazy!

[khaled_a_dParticipant]

 Any thoughts on Roby? Is he gonna be anything more than a 2 way player next couple of years?

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 No Tacko Fall wow. Damn undrafted free agency is lit once again

[SwatLakeCityParticipant]

 Knew he would go undrafted. Centers his size just aren’t really needed anymore in the NBA. The Warriors proved that with their dyanasty, which now just ended.  Its all about small ball. I still had him in my mock just because I kept seeing his name in other mocks and this site’s in the late second round. I had him at 54, but I wasn’t sold on it, and was more thinking he would go undrafted.

[The GoatParticipant]

 Jalen Lecque signed a 4 yr 2yr guaranteed deal with PHX as an undrafted FA. ! 

Saric Jerome Lecque Johnson ends up ok in my books 

[SwatLakeCityParticipant]

 Still questioning the Cam Johnson pick at 11. They could have gotten him much lower. Where does he fit on their depth chart? They already have Josh Jackson, and they drafted Mikal Bridges last year. True they traded away TJ Warren, but there is still quite a log jam at the 3. Johnson is too small to play the 4. He’s perfect for the 3, but not for Phoenix, just too many wings they still have.

[SwatLakeCityParticipant]

 Draft is over Kings just selected Vanja Marinkovic with the 60th pick. A SG/SF out of Serbia. Notable Un-drafted players are:

• Tacko Fall
• Kris Wilkes
• Joshua Obiesie
• Brian Bowen 
• Louis King
• Ky Bowman
• Lugentz Dort
• Jontay Porter
• Adam Mokoka
• Jalen Lecque (just signed with the Suns)

My total mock draft points score is 82 This is my lowest score since I think 2013 when I had 79 points. I don’t count 2010 and 2009, since I just started joining this site in 2009 and I was still learning how it all worked out. 2011 was when I started applying all that I learned. Man, was this a hard draft to mock. So many players that wounded up being drafted who I didn’t even have on my big board. (I think I counted 9 total).

[khaled_a_dParticipant]

Would love the Mavs to take a chance on either Naz or Jontay for undrafted players.
Both are talented bigs with size
