Chad Ford Mock Draft 4.0

Chad Ford's new Big Board 10.0 (after the combine)
1. Towns
2. Okafor
3. Russell
4. Mudiay
5. Porzingis
6. Winslow
7. Mario
8. WCS
9.Myles Turner
10. Johnson
11. Payne
12. Lyles
13. Booker
14. Kaminsky
15. Dekker
16. Portis
17. Grant
18. Oubre
19. Looney
20. Tyus Jones
21. Hunter
22. RHJ

Personally I think the Bucks would prefer Oubre and let Grant fall to the Rockets and everyone will be happy.

 

I think Philly drafts Russell or Mudiay, regardless of what pick they have. They've got their front court, and while I get the whole assest collection thing, at some point you'd have to think that they'll want to start competing. Of course, I could be totally wrong and they could trade Noel for a nice set of picks and go for Okafor or Towns.

Warriors will probably trade #30 to save money- that core is getting expensive- like record setting, Brooklyn Nets 2013 expensive. Hopefully another team doesn't use that to leapfrog our Knicks pick to get someone we want. They'll probably try to trade David Lee too but that's another discussion. I agree the Kings will probably try to trade their pick for a PF- not sure where.

 

I think Philly's big board looks like this :
Towns
Russel
Mudiay
Okafor

If they get the first pick they will get Towns and trade Noel. In any case Noel can't play pf and it's extremely hard to make the twin towers work with his skill set. After that with any other pick they will try to get Russel because they want guards/wings who can shoot and Mudiay cant (yet?). Noone really knows what Phil's big board looks like and I don't buy this crap about Kaminsky.

 

Well since it looks like Cameron Payne will be in the lottery, i am now thinking take Rashad Vaughn with #18 and Wright or Rozier in the 2nd round.
