– Here’s my mock. I love feedback, tell me your thoughts and I’ll try to answer them and we can argue and whatever.

[TyroberParticipant]

 You have Irving going third. Do you really need an explanation on this one?

[JoeWolf1]

Kahn wanted Irving,  If for some reason Kyrie doesn’t go 1, he isn’t going to slip any further than 2.

[BKKnicksfanParticipant]

I dunno about that to be honest. I think if Rubio is coming over, I think he will make it a issue NOT to take Irving. I think he would either deal the pick, or take Kanter, throw him to Love and promote that "young pups" with Rubio, Johnson, Beasley, Love and Kanter.

[YSUFan10Participant]

 #1 you have Reggie Jackson at 43, when he is most likely a 1st rounder.

#2 why do you think knight is Rondo. You most likely decided since they are both from Kentucky and look a tiny bit alike that Rondo is his comparison. Rondo is completely different. Knight is a scorer, a shooter. Rondo only looks to set up his teammates, and has a pretty poor jumper. 

#3  No Charles Jenkins?

[MagikKnickParticipant]

 Your super-awesome mock draft, lacks the super-awesomeness you’ve mentioned.

[BKKnicksfanParticipant]

I don’t know why, I don’t see the first rounder in Jackson, also he’s a late 1st, but can easily slip.

I see the defensive ability in him. I think Knight might be more a passer in the NBA depending on who he goes to. He will still be a scorer, but not more 15. I don’t only see Rondo in him, I see a little Kendall Gill in him as well

I forgot about Charles Jenkins. He’s probably a second rounder in my book as well

 

@Magiknick where’s the problems you see?

[omphalosParticipant]

Minnesota will snatch up Irving if they get the chance, even if they don’t keep him, simply because it forces Rubio to come over this season or miss out. If Rubio decides to stay in Spain, then Minnesota can see what they have and trade either Irving or Rubio, both of whom have good trade value.

[Kinguy11Participant]

That is exactly the same as my top 7! It seems great minds think a like.

I disagree with you because I don’t think Rubio’s value is as high as you think.

[knicksfan7Participant]

The No Charles Jenkins is absolutely ridiculous, but it seems like you just forgot to put him in, which is fine. We always forget a player or two. Though, I think Charles goes within the top 40.

 

The only pick that I makes me go ehh is Selby. Josh Selby reminds me exactly of Lance Stephenson in terms of character. Selby is a top 10-15 talent in this draft w/o a doubt. Though he lacks character. I think he is going to do terrible in the interview process and come off as arrogant and aloof where GMs will question him as a team player. I mean Lance went 2nd round, not because he was not good, but due to poor character. Selby has poor character and that will IMO make him end up going 2nd round. Early 2nd though.

[BKKnicksfanParticipant]

I agree about Jenkins, I think he’s a top 40 guy in this draft.

Selby is a questionable pick, and a talented headcase, but I think he might be a first round lock because in a draft that’s considered weak, I think we might see more BPA then anything this year.

Take out Selby and wasn’t this same thing said in 2010

Stephenson is a questionable pick, and a talented headcase, but I think he might be a first round lock because in a draft that’s considered weak, I think we might see more BPA then anything this year.

That’s exactly how I feel.

[BKKnicksfanParticipant]

Yea, but I wouldn’t consider the 2010 draft weak like this one.

[knicksfan7Participant]

I don’t think any draft is weak until the players actually play. Though this one doesn’t have the WOW players like it did in 2003.

[scoutguruParticipant]

 Are u joking about the Knight being the next Rondo thing?

And I still don’t think the Knicks will take a guy like Morris that high. I think they’ll look to a guy who’s ready to step in and contribute immediately, we’re tryna win now. Still think he’s been a lil too overvalued by some during the draft process.

On first thought, I looked and said 32 may be to high for Lighty. But at that point you just looking for guys that’ll contribute, and he fits the mold of a perfect glue guy, with his shooting skills improving also.

I like Julyan Stone there in the 2nd round too, feel his a guy to watch out for. After maybe some seasoning overseas or D-League, he can be a guy we see in the league in a couple years.

[BKKnicksfanParticipant]

– Defensively no, I think Knight can be a lockdown derfender

And I still don’t think the Knicks will take a guy like Morris that high. I think they’ll look to a guy who’s ready to step in and contribute immediately, we’re tryna win now. Still think he’s been a lil too overvalued by some during the draft process.

– They could use a point guard though. I think he’s on the short list. Also, he can contribute as a backup point.

[scoutguruParticipant]

 Oh, I see. But I don’t think he projects all that well defensively either tho, in regards to Knight. He’s not the most fluid athlete when it comes to moving laterally. Also don’t think he’s all that good fighting around picks and absorbing contact. I can’t see him being no better than average defensively. He has nice tools with his size and length, but I just don’t see it. 
And I don’t even think Rondo is special defensively, he’s average, and a lot of it has to do with the great scheme they have there in Boston. He does get steals, but a lot of it his him gambling.

[topotamolderParticipant]

There is NO WAY Reggie Jackson falls to the 40’s . He is clearly a 1st round and don’t be surprised if he even gets drafted around the lottery . Mark my words

 

I also think Vucevic is going to get drafted way higer than 46 , specially after the monster measurements that I knew he was going to give in the combine

[Nate505Participant]

I’d love to see this mock be correct.  A Irving/Leonard draft would be spectacular for the Jazz.

 

[Nate505Participant]

*double post*

 

[SwatLakeCityParticipant]

Irving might go three, but it won’t be because he decided to skip drills. That means nothing. He’s only doing it to rest his body and save it for the workouts. If you noticed most of the potential lottery picks, if not all, were held out of the drills. This does nothing to weaken their stock, because they are going up against lesser competition. The combine is really for the guys who are not lottery prospects to show what they can do. We already know what the lottery picks can do so no need for them to show us that same stuff, and not have themselves ready for when it really counts in the workouts. The only reason why Irving might go three is simply because Rubio comes over, and Cleveland decides to go big with their pick not because of anything he decides to do. 

[lalailaParticipant]

i don’t understand what makes you all think Donatas will fall out of lottery?? maybe it’s because i’m lithuanian but for me he is top10 lock like 5-6th best prospect. 

[BKKnicksfanParticipant]

I don’t think he’s that good to be honest. I feel, simlar to last draft he will drop. I think he’s more of a luxury player
