• Vin Parise of the NBC Sports Network reports via Twitter that the Bulls will draft Kansas point guard Tyshawn Taylor, who overcame an enigmatic first three years with the Jayhawks to lead them to the NCAA Championship game in March.-Joe Kaiser, ESPN Rumors http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/features/rumors

• Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports is reporting that Cleveland may use either 33 or 34 on Furkan Aldemir. He also states that Memphis is looking really hard at Tony Wroten at 25, plus stating Kostas Papanikolaou might move into the first round. Papanikolaou would be a feasible pick at either 27 (Miami) or 28 (OKC) as he more than likely is at least a year or so away from coming to the league, with neither team wanting to add more salary. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba–syracuse-s-dion-waiters-drawing-interest-from-cavaliers.html

• Am not sure if I believe the "Dion Waiters #4 rumors", but they of course were floating around earlier. I am thinking Waiters could go as high as 6 to Portland and am starting to think that Jerry West will get what he wants if Waiters is available at 7.

If anyone has some more they have heard feel free to post. I have no clue who to believe or if these are 100 percent true, but they are floating around and seem at least slightly feasible. I can’t wait for tonight! Good luck to every team and may the Mock Draft be with you!

 I believe the Waiters #4 is a smoke screen but Tyshawn Taylor to Chicago seems pretty much real to this point with Teague Marshall Wroten off the board.

 even though I have Wroten and Teague off the board before 29th….I think Taylor is the Bulls guy regardless.   I dont believe the Bulls want Wroten because he cant shoot.  I think Taylor is a guy who can step in immediately and do a lot of things Teague just cant do right now.  the upside is with Teague of course, but he lacks the polish that the Bulls need right now with the uncertain situation of Rose.  (when he will return and how effective will he be)  They really want Taylor for his defense first and the fact that he can be an effective offensive player second…particularly in the Pick and Roll.  Something Teague hasnt had the time to quite figure out yet, particularly on defense.

As far as Waiters….whether the rumors are true or not, he is staying put at #8 in my mock.

I’ve had Wroten to Memphis at 25 for a few weeks, but Papanikolaou is news to me!

This Has to be the CrAziest Draft EVER!!!

1.At some in the past 12 months  Drummond and Barnes were considered the top prospect..Now both guys might not go in the top 5..

2.Lamb could go 4th or drop to 13..

3.MKG might go 2 or down to 7..

4.Drummond might go 2 or drop to 9…

5.Rumors have a guy that came off the bench as the possible 4th pick…

6.The Kings didnt workout any of the top prospects..And might be looking to trade..

7.Houston Is collecting picks,”BUT THEY’RE ALL IN THE SELECTING SAME RANGE”…

It wouldnt be so Unpredictable if Charlotte had let their intentions known….Then we can possibly have some feeling how things might play out..I might do better on my 2nd round mock than the 1st round…

 

Watch out for the Warriors at number 7..Jerry West is known for making incredible draft day deals…It seems that West doesnt think a Thompson-Curry backcourt is the answer for them Warriors..

You can write Tony Wroten to Memphis in Stone..”If he’s there”…Orlando also likes him…And might take him if White,Marshall or Nickelson are gone…

I had Taylor going to the Bulls a couple of weeks ago but due to the amount of talent that could fall prompted me to moving him back into the second round, so i’m not too surprised that he’ll be picked at 29.

As a Cavs fan, Waiters being picked forth is news to me, i was under the impression that their two main targets were Beal and Barnes, Waiters’ stock is out of control at the moment and he hasn’t even had that many workouts. He’s basically done nothing and has watched his stock rise to the point that it’s pretty sickening when you consider that other prospects are busting their hump through multiple workouts just to find a roster spot.

This draft is certainly one of the most wildest drafts from a mocking perspective.

Utah is trying very very hard to move into the lotto. They are after Lillard and will be willing to part with anyone on the roster other than Kantar and Favors

[GoJOSH HUESTISParticipant]

If by some mircle the Rockets keep their picks they might have some pretty good players because their is good talent in the 12-20 range and beyond
