Chad Fords mock draft 2.0

Would the Wizards draft Drummond with Nene and his contract on the roster? It would be smarter to select Thomas Robinson. They have to start winning games and Drummond won't help much for a few years.

One thing for sure is the Kings definitely won't take Sullinger at #6 with Cousins already there. In fact, nobody will take him that high.

 

That site tries to put adaware stuff on your computer.

 

Never messed with computer. Besides, for the past two seasons their mocks have been the best in my opinion. Even better than ESPN's. They have been closer to being exact.

 

DX's updated mock. Some movement.

Huge drop in talent after #13/#14 in my opinion. We really need the Knicks to miss the playoffs. As much promise as this draft has, if Dallas and New York don't do their part, this could be a very disappointing night for Houston.

 

Could someone with Insider post their top 100, please??

 

How so? Are Myers Leonard and Austin Rivers hugely worse than, say, Kendall Marshall, Jeremy Lamb or Tyler Zeller?

 

Well, I said around #13, so i was including Marshall as a drop-off candidate. Sure, I think it's fair to say there's a pretty big gap between Lamb and Rivers. For centers it's harder to determine. I think T. Zeller and Leonard could be pretty close, but I have them both rounding out the lottery/15ish.

Yes, I do think, T. Zeller aside, there is a drop off around #13.

 

However, one man's top 13 is not the same as another man's. The drafts typcially don't play according to expectations (especially projected months ahead of the actual draft) for much beyond the top few picks (if that).

The mocks drafts of the popular sites (Chad Ford, Draftexpress, nbadraft.net) look rather different nowadays (I think Nbadraft.net has Sullinger at 15th while draftexpress has him at 6th, for example).

We'll see, but my guess is at least one or two of your projected top 13 guys will fall outside of the top 13 in the actual draft.

 

Drawing a blank......when did we make any trade with Detroit that gave them our 2nd round pick........or did it go through other teams before Detroit got it?

 

Chase Budinger trade

 

Two guys i'm really obsessed with are:

Andrew Nicholson

and Royce White
http://nbadraft.net/players/royce-white

To me, these two guys are good enough to be lotto picks. And if we are lucky enough for them to slide to our Dallas pick (assuming we have it), these two could end up being real steals in this draft. Love the way White fills up a stat-sheet, and Nicholson's shooting percentage is amazing.

 

So which mock drafts are usually spot on?

 

Jonathan Givony and Chad Ford are the two best based on my experience, but Givony is far and away #1.

 

I think Sullinger is way too high and Jeremy Lamb is way too low. Other than that, it's pretty good.

 

Yes, Givony is #1. DX's mock's are always close.

 

Thank you, I appreciate it.

 

Can someone with insider post 3.0 please?

Thanks!
