There are a couple reaches in this draft, but if it turned out this way, there would be many VERY HAPPY Rockets fans!

Here is my updated Mock, After Chris Marcus decided to go back to school. http://clutchcity.net/mockdraft.cfm?xMockID=2014
Mock with EXPERT analysis... From the people @ HoopsAvenue.com http://clutchcity.net/mockdraft.cfm?xMockID=2029
I am too much into this upcoming draft. I tabulated the results from 13 of the top mock drafts that Sherlock collected (along with the new ESPN insider from NJRocket) and put the results into percentages. I deleted mocks that still included Chris Marcus and ones that I thought were not from refutable sources i.e. bskball.com. The sites I used were nbadraft.net, cbs, cnnsi, insidehoops (includeded two mocks), about.com, TSN, ESPN, ESPN insider, MSNBC, Fox, Larry B, and insidegreenroom. Here are the Results: 1. Rockets - Yao Ming 100% 2. Bulls - Jason Williams 100% 3. Warriors - Mike Dunleavy 46.1%, Drew Gooden 23%, Caron Butler 15.4%, Dajuan Wagner 15.4% 4. Grizzlies - Dunleavy 53.8%, Gooden 23%, Butler 23% 5. Nuggets - Wagner 38.5%, Nickoloz Tskitishvili 23%, Butler 23%, Gooden 15.4% 6. Cavs - Gooden 38.5%, Chris Wilcox 30.8%, Butler 23%, Nene Hilario 7.7% 7. Knicks - Wilcox 53.8%, Butler 15.4 %, Curtis Borchardt 15.4%, Hilario 7.7%, Wagner 7.7% 8. Clippers - Wagner 38.5%, Borchardt 30.8%, Hilario 15.4%, Wilcox 7.7%, Nickoloz Tskitishvili 7.7% 9. Suns - Nickoloz Tskitishvili 30.8%, Hilario 15.4%, Borchardt 15.4%, Qyntel Woods 15.4%, Amare Stoudemire 7.7%, Wilcox 7.7%, Marcus Haislip 7.7% 10. Heat - Woods 53.8%, Jared Jeffries 23%, Nickoloz Tskitishvili 15.4%, Haislip 7.7% 11. Wizards - Jeffries 46.1%, Woods 23%, Nickoloz Tskitishvili 15.4%, Melvin Ely 15.4% 12. Clippers - Borchardt 38.5%, Stoudemire 23%, Hilario 15.4%, Woods 7.7%, Nickoloz Tskitishvili 7.7%, Rush 7.7% 13. Bucks - Haislip 30.8%, Hilario 30.8%, Ely 23%, Stoudemire 7.7%, Kareem Rush 7.7% 14. Pacers - Rush 61.5%, Frank Williams 15.4%, Jiri Welsch 15.4%, Haislip 7.7% 15. Rockets - Bostjan Nachbar 38.5%, Jeffries 23%, Haislip 7.7%, Rush 7.7%, Stoudemire 7.7%, Ely 7.7%, Welsch 7.7% What does all this mean? I think it means that after the two first picks alot of teams are going to be picking based on what other teams do. Compare these results to Clutch's Mock Draft Madness Results here
My revised draft, complete with a few new wisecracks and my acceptance of the inevitable arrival of Ming. http://www.clutchcity.net/mockdraft.cfm?xMockID=2379
Hot - I'd like to think that we could get Jefferies at 15 but I doubt it. He measured taller and weighed in stronger than his numbers in school. I also doubt that both Ely and Haislip would be picked above Hilario and Stoudamire, particularly by the Clippers.
