    Thanks for posting. Nothing too different really. I doubt we'll stay with the 14th and 16th pick though. I think they'll either end up in Orlando or maybe Sacramento if they want to part with that fifth pick

    I'm all for packaging Lowry/Scola/picks for that 5th pick. We would be able to get either Drummond, Beal, or Barnes. Sacramento would look pretty decent too with Lowry, Thornton, Evans, Scola, & Cousins.

    Im not a fan of Terrence Jones, but I'd be fine with Zeller at 14. I really dont see us passing on Austin Rivers twice though, too much potential and publicity!

    Regardless, I think we'll end up trading to either 5 or 6 and taking Barnes or Jones III, maybe Drummond if he's available.

    I agree, but who after Zeller has star potential? Rivers? Wroten? I'm more sold on Wroten. He's got a lot to work on, but the tools are there and he just turned 19.

    After some work outs, those placements will shake up a bit.

    Don't want Harrison Barnes, he has done nothing to make me believe he will be an efficient player in the NBA... Ditto for the vastly over rated PJIII ... Both are fine at #14, but not trading up for.

    I can understand people not wanting Jones that high, but what about Barnes scares you? He's an elite shooter, great finisher, and has the tools to be a great defender. If we are able to trade up to 5 or 6 he'd be a great pick. I think he's someone who could win a scoring title one day.

    No way Cleveland would pick Barnes over Drummond...
    This mock doesn't look realistic at all to me, the NBAdraft.net 4.0 one is better.

    And what's up with Dion at 8 lol? Terrible, he's like 18-25 in other mocks.

    Just saw the nbadraft moch doesn't have Wroten in the 1st, same garbage.

    I hate draftexpress and nbadraft mocks.

    One mock draft had us taking Dion Waiter.... He is undersized, can pass and is a terrific athlete so what about him?

    No terrence Jones. Watched him play for two years. No. No. No.

    You're damn right nobody knows what position he's going to play, simply because he has the body of a 4 and the mind of a 3.

    "I should go post up/get a rebound/set a screen/seal my man, but instead I'm going to drift to the corner/stand on the wing til I get the ball/go ahead and trot down the court cause I'm not fighting for that rebound.

    No to Zeller as well. Rather have Leonard.

    We will wait til after the workouts.

    White, Miller, Jones, Wroten Jr., Marshall are all better picks that that white trash.

    NOOOOOO!!!!!! This draft is littered with 3/4 combo's that want to shoot three, or under sized 4's that are scrappy rebounders with no offensive game. It is the Rocket's weakness!!!!!!

    I'm down with Zeller, but as many others pointed out - another tweener PF? Hope not.
