 I love the Canadian in Tristan Thompson going that high but I don’t think it’s realistic, he’s a bit of a gamble as he’s not nearly as skilled as most of the top 10. Mainly a hustle guy who has good defensive instincts. 

I also think Jonas Valanciunas will slide a bit or even withdraw his name from the draft because of A) The lockout won’t guarantee him a next season & B) Teams are looking at his buyout from his european team as another obstacle in drafting him. 

For your first mock though, it’s alright, made some bold predictions which I like.

You did well going Irving/Leonard for the Cavs–if the Cavs take Irving, they won’t take a 2nd PG @ 4 and I think Leonard has impressed a lot of people.  However, you also have Williams going to Utah @ 3.  If the Jazz get Williams @ 3, I doubt they take a second SF @ 12, especially since Utah already has Hayward, who can alternate between the 2 & 3.  A guard or a big would be more likely.  Hamilton would be very likely though if the Jazz take Knight/Kanter/Irving @ 3.
