I thought it would be fun to create my own Mock Draft, and I would like to see yours too. (I only did lottery and included players that are expected to or have declared). 1.Chicago-Eddy Curry 2.Golden State-Tyson Chandler 3.Washington-Eddie Griffin 4.Vancouver-Jason Richardson 5.Atlanta-Desagana Diop 6.New Jersey-Loren Woods 7.Cleveland-Zach Randolph 8.Los Angeles-Shane Battier 9.Detroit-Troy Murphy 10.Boston-Michael Bradley 11.Denver-Gilbert Arenas 12.Seattle-Rodney White 13.Houston-Richard Jefferson Any thoughts? ------------------ Greatness is not a singular act, it is a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.
Not a bad draft , No one can ever predict these things right so I wouldnt call it great or horrible . ------------------ http://bbs.babitze.com
1-5 is pretty much right on target with what I've got. But...I seriously don't think Gilbert Arenas would go that high--I'd be surprised to see him get picked before 25, and I think the Rockets could get Jefferson with one of their later picks as opposed to 13. Murphy and Bradley are intriguing picks, but I think you can pencil in Tinsley with one of Boston's picks--they need a point. ------------------ P.S. This is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.
prempeh, maybe you are right. I just thought that with Denver needing a 2, and Arenas being a 2, combined with some sources saying Arenas is a better player than Jefferson, it would be a good pick. Maybe I'm wrong. ------------------ Greatness is not a singular act, it is a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.
Clips are loaded at SF with D. Miles and Lamar O. Rodney White is listed as a PF in college but I feel he's going to be a SF in the pros. Seattle is also loaded at SF with R. Lewis and D. Mason but who knows.
You're definitely right about Denver needing a 2, but unfortunately for them Boston will get that #11 pick this year from the Fortson trade, I think. But Denver does draft again later in the first round, so maybe Arenas would be a possibility for them a little later on. ------------------ P.S.

Any chance Richardson or Griffin fall to 13? ------------------ President of the Steve Francis, Jamal Crawford,Larry Hughes, and Charles Woodson fan club.
Richardson might fall, depending how deep the draft gets and how he fares in camps. Maybe. Griffin will go top 5. ------------------
Not bad, but no way Rockets take Jefferson with the #13. I have to agree with MManal in the Rudy T type players thread. Jefferson is a good player, but not someone who the Rockets would chase after. Jefferson may have improved his stock with his play in the tourney to mid-range first rounder. But he's not the defensive stud people think he is, and he's not a brilliant shooter. Rudy doesn't draft for athleticism. Not unless they're tall players like Langhi, Miles, or Dermarr Johnson who create the potential for mismatches. I'm still not convinced that Jefferson will be significantly better than Shandon to take him over other players. Second to Battier, I'd rather take Rodney White at SF with the #13 if he's available. ------------------
