 I highly doubt that Golden State will draft Henson. We already have Lee and Udoh at PF; even if you consider Udoh a 5 (GS plays him as such at times), Lee’s pricetag isn’t going to make him take back seat any time in the near future. What GS needs is a 5, and Henson’s way too thin to even think about that position. 

Also, take a look at our draft history. Last year, we took Udoh over Ed Davis (who I think is similar to Henson?) seemingly because we wanted results/established players over potential. We also traded Brandan Wright this season for a second round pick. Nbadraft.net compares Henson to Anthony Randolph, and we all know how that turned out.

I do like Motiejunas to the Bucks, though. They are desperately in need of offense, and Bogut clogs the lane and draws double teams, leaving someone like Motiejunas free to operate on the offensive end of the floor.

Oh, and Rick Jackson is nothing like ZBo. Zbo has range on his jumpshot and post moves; Rick Jackson has some post moves, but if you leave him open 12-15 feet from the hoop, you’re in good shape. Jackson’s known more for his defensive and rebounding ability than his offense.

because they keep drafting players like that even though they havent worked out. im not saying they should draft him, but until they prove otherwise i am just trying to predict what will happen.

Detroit has plenty of wing players. If I were them I would take a gamble on reaching with that #7 for Kemba Walker or Brandon Knight to play PG. I see you have Malcolm Lee slated for Detroit in the 2nd but he will not play the 1 IMO.

Quite a good mock. 1-20 looks similar to mine.  ihad singleton going earlier though….

 Utah has plenty of big man why would they need another one? They already have Jefferson, Millsap, Favors and Fez. And not to mention Okur, who may be hurt but he will be back next year. Jonas wouldn’t really see time on the court. The Jazz could use their 6th pick on someone else. AK is a free agent next year, and since the Salary cap will be lower next year and the Jazz already over the cap as it is it will be awfully tough to resign. They could draft a SF to replace AK instead. Both Terrance Jones, Jan Vesely, and Kawhi Leonard are possible picks. My choice would be Terrance Jones. I’m not quite sure about Jan being able to shoot 3’s well and play good defense. European players always seem to be lacking on the defensive end. As for Kawhi, I just don’t think he deserves a top 6 pick. Terrance Jones would be a much better pick for the Jazz at 6 instead of Jonas.

We don’t "always" draft players like that. Last year, Ed Davis came out and was on the board. Skinny potential guy from UNC. Did we draft him? No.
