 Now with the lottery set, I’m ready to start doing some mocks.  This is what I have for my first one, as always feel free to criticize, ask questions, give input or start any dialogue over my picks.

– Don’t see why Minny would take Kanter, I don’t think he fits well with Love at all and them two defensively is a bad pick. I have either Williams or Jonas going there

– I don’t see how Washington would let Kawhi Leonard past them, they need some toughness and defense and he fits in perfectly alongside Wall and Young/Crawford

 -I’ve heard that Minny is not opposed to shopping this pick.  I think Kanter would have more trade value, since he can play some center in a pretty center weak league. That is why I had him going to Minny.

-I almost put Leonard there, but I liked him as the 2nd coming of Prince in Detroit.  You’re right, Washington may scoop him up, but after the Yi Jinlain experiment in Washington failed and him being a free agent this summer ( I doubt they’ll re-sign him) I though Vesley would help fill the role that they hoped Yi to fill.  Energy, length and the ability to play multiple positions.

Darius Morris falling to the mid 2nd i think is unlikely

Davis Bertans undrafted?

[JoeWolf1]

 Good call about Davis, I was really un familiar with him as a prospect until about a week ago on epsn so I didn’t have him on my big board.  I figured if his name continuted to surface as a potential 1st rounder I’d add him later.

 Patric Young did not declare.

You are a great poster, but I have to say there is little chance Derrick Williams makes it outside of the top 3 at this point. I just have a feeling that Kanter is much more likely to slip to Cleveland than Williams. Other than that, we will find out as things go on, but I adamantly believe at this point that Williams and Irving playing together is something that is not going to happen.

[JoeWolf1]

 Yeah, I year you mikeyvthedon, I’m usually more pragmatic with my opinions, mocks and posts, but I kind of stepped outside of that a little more than usual with this mock.  I know there are some things that a little funky, but I usually do about 4 or 5 so I’ll trim the fat.  I just thought it was an interesting proposition to put on the first one.

I was surprised u had williams 4th at first but it makes sense. nothing is set in stone, the lottery took place YESTERDAY. a lot of time between now and the draft. if minnesota really likes kanter and the jazz are determined to take a PG then derrick williams will go 4. not that hard to see.

[LOFTYParticipant]

i guess we all know who the cavs fan is! lol

[WinterSoldierParticipant]

 Hey lofty, Sorry I was dick the other day to you. BTW the Jazz are not that determined to get PG, they won’t pass on Derrick Williams.

Reports out of Minnesota are saying TWolves are looking to Trade that number 2 pick….Becuz Kahn really really wanted that 1st pick to select Irving….
