MOCK IT ON UP!!!



Yet, another installment... enjoy...

1. Portland- GREG ODEN C OHIO STATE
I used to “not be sold” on Greg Oden. Well… those days are GONE. On and off the court… he’s coming FOR THAT NUMBER ONE SPOT!!!


2. Seattle- KEVIN DURANT PG/SG/SF/PF/C
TEXAS
In a draft where you just can’t lose in the top 2… Seattle gets a super-sharp talent to go along with Ray Allen and… um…

3. Atlanta- AL HORFORD PF/C FLORIDA
BPA… So what If they have 9 other Forwards on their roster.


4. Memphis- MIKE CONLEY JR. PG
OHIO STATE
Start crying, Pau. You’re still playing Center.

5. Boston- YI JIANILAN PF CHINA
Great PR move for an awful team. Trade the farm for Kobe Bryant, pre-draft, or get a bargain in Paul Pierce before the trade deadline?


6. Milwaukee- JEFF GREEN F
GEORGETOWn
He does everything well, already… and to think… Georgetown didn’t utilize his full potential in their Princeton style offense. Watch out, Cavs…

7. Minnesota- COREY BREWER G/F FLORIDA

No offense. Plenty of defense. No ego. The anti-Ricky Davis.

8. Charlotte- BRANDaN WRIGHT PF UNIVERISTY OF NORTH CAROLINA

He can step in those 44 games Emeka Okafur misses… plus it’s the homer pick. His familiarity will mask his lack of offensive arsenal, until his game develops.

9. Chicago- SPENCER HAWES C WASHINGTON

Fans claim to be a post presence away from the Finals? We’ll see.


10.
Sacramento- JOAKIM NOAH F/C FLORIDA

He’ll bring… offense? No. Defense… Eh… not really, but he’ll bring plenty of energy to a re-building franchise.

11. Atlanta- ACIE LAW IV PG TEXAS A & M

Trust me… passing on Conley wasn’t a bad move. Law will lead this team to the playoffs… IN 07-08. Write it down. Quote it. Tattoo it on your arm.

12. Philadelphia- AL THORNTON F FLORIDA STATE

He’ll bring maturity, poise and athleticism. Their young core is shaping up well.

13. New Orleans- NICK YOUNG SG UNIVERISTY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNA

If Mohawks are going to be in style… it’ll be in New Orleans.

14. LA Clippers- JAVARIS CRITTENTON PG GEORGIA TECH

Sometimes… you have to draft for need and not potential. The Clippers need to win games, before Elton Brand can opt out next season. Crittenton can help.


15. Detroit- THADDEUS YOUNG G/F
GEORGIA TECH

Cleveland exposed their lack of young depth… especially in the backcourt.


16. Washington - DERRICK BYARS SG VANDERBILT

He’s ready to contribute right away. Sadly, this rookie will immediately become their best perimeter defender from the day he signs a contract.


17. New Jersey- JULIAN WRIGHT F
KANSAS

Remember when the Wizards passed on PG Marcus Williams, and the Nets struck gold when they selected him? DeJa Vu? I think so…

18. Golden State- RODNEY STUCKEY G EASTERN WASHINGTON

He is the perfect compliment to Baron Davis.

19. LA Lakers- MORRIS ALMOND SG RICE

He can do it all on the offensive end. After being the go-to guy at Rice, he’ll have to learn to be the 6th option, behind Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe aaaaaand... Odom.


20. Miami- JASON SMITH PF
COLORADO STATE

They signed Antoine Walker. They have to be interested in this 7 footer, who’s in love with the jump shot.


21. Philadelphia- RUDY FERNANDEZ SG
SPAIN

Tough competitor. Once he adds weight and strength, he’ll be a more than capable back-up SG, behind Andre Iguodala.

22. Charlotte- MARCO BELINELLI SG ITALY

Okay, so Michael Jordan couldn’t co-exist with Rip Hamilton in Washington, well he could surely use him in CHA. Why not take a taller, stronger version of Rip?


23. New York- DAEQUAN COOK G
OHIO STATE

They’ve stated they’ll take a ‘chance’ and someone they can ‘wait a year for’. Cook is talented, but you’ll surely have to wait for him to put it all together.


24. Phoenix- TIAGO SPLITTER C
BRAZIL

They can afford to wait a year.

25. Utah- ARRON AFFLALO SG UCLA

Meet the key to playoff success… selfless, consistent players.


26. Houston - JOSH MCROBERTS PF DUKE

Someone will take a chance on him. He’s mildly athletic, but isn’t consistent. He ought to be the straw that breaks T-Mac’s already injury-laden back…


27. Detroit- GABE PRUITT PG UNIVERISTY OF
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

How long will Lindsey Hunter play?

28. San Antonio- JARED DUDLEY F BOSTON COLLEGE

Another talented, hard-working player is added to their roster. The rich get richer!!!


29. Phoenix- DEMETRIS NICHOLS SF SYRACUSE

Flat-out scorer and the measurable numbers to be a lock down defender at the 2-3… and even 4. He’s a real sleeper.

30. Philadelphia- KYRYLO FESENKO C UKRAINE

He’ll surprise a lot of people… Give him a year to prepare for the NBA’s physical style of play and demanding schedule, and he’s going to be a huge addition to the Sixers.
