Good mock, just a couple things I disagree with: Supposedly the Raps have been blown away with Chris Bosh and feel it's too great a risk to pass him up, even with Lampe still up there. Troy Bell is just a little low considering reports out of Chicago Camp. I think he'll be taken in the 23-27 range. Didn't Ndudi Ebi pull his name out? Please tell me he did, the brother just isn't ready for the big time. Damn, Ho-Price at 50? Philly's getting a steal here, IMO. This may happen, but I hope the Rockets snag him when he's still on the board. [/list=a]
Ebi's still in the draft. As for the mock....think Lampe, Hayes, and Gaines are between 3-5 spots too high each. Hinrich and Pietrus are low. The Magic won't take Collison. Magic have the 42nd pick, not Atlanta. Think Mario Austin's not a first rounder. There will likely be quite a few intl. players in rd 2. Where's Slavko Vranes?
Mock Draft Verison 5.0 Hey, Thanks for your insight, and they were very helpful... finalsbound, you are right about bosh because i dug up some research... from ny daily news: Also, as for Troy Bell, on Sportscenter, Andy Katz named a couple of steals int he draft...one of the categories were quality players who won't get drafted in first round. Troy Bell was one of them. As for Ho Price, Im surprised he isnt even on the mock drafts of many sites. he sure would be a steal. Thank you MfClark for telling me that Orlando instead of Hawks have 42 pick. I fixed it. And hanks OrangeCounty,Ca for the complement. Please leave comments on my new mock draft. Hope to hear from u soon....peace.
If Blake is still on the board by the Wizards second round pick, they're almost definately going to take him. Particularly if they don't get a Point Guard with the 10th pick. They definately need a PG and they worked out Blake, Hinrich and Chris Monroe. Everything I've read and heard mentioned that Blake was beating both of them signifigantly. So much to the point that they don't even think he'll be on the board by the time they get to their second pick.
Probably better than Joe Smith but not as good as Drew Gooden IMO. I have not seen him play a ton though. There is just nothing about his game that really stands out and hits you. He is a great athlete though.
http://nutang.com/members.php?user=dean Thank you Rocketman15 for informing meof my mistake. I have corrected it. Smeggysmeg, I feel Bosh has really strong potential. I think he is far more versatile than Joe Smith. Toronto reportedly is love with him. Jaybird, on other mocks, i don't see Blake anywhere. I agree with you that he is really good. I never knew that the Wizards wanted him, maybe because he is from Maryland (like when they picked Dixon last yr.)? Thanks for your input. Do you have any comments, suggestions,???
Riley the gm is as bad as Layden in NY. He's a good coach, but a horrible gm .If he was smart, which he claims to be, he should take the next best player in the draft. At number 5 he should be able to get a really good player or maybe he could try a trade and swap with Toronto. If Miami really want Bosh, Toronto should draft him and tell them you give me Jones, and your pick and I'll give you Davis and my pick. They should hold Miami ransom.
RE: is bosh that good, has a definite joe Smith smell about him?? Smeg, I think I agree about Bosh. He gave me a real Stromile Swift vibe: raw, tall, athletic SEC guy. But then I read that Bosh is a real smart kid -- he's a National Merit-type guy. That makes him, well, not Stromile Swift. So maybe it's worse, and he's Joe Smith.
Thanks, a la rocket for correcting, I have fixed it. I also changed the Kings Pick to Celtics (Songalia trade). Take a Look n tell me what u think......
Not bad! I didn't see Euro guard Planinic in there (not positive I spelled it right). I wouldn't mind seeing him slide to the Rox in round 2 or see them draft Parcellis Morlende (dang euro names). I don't think Ebi will slide that far but that would be a great pick if he does!
1st- Thier is no way that the bucks would take Sweetney with the eight pick since as teh speculation goes that Payton is leaving. The will probably try to get a guard hoping that either wade or Ford slips down to them. Most likley they will go with Hinrich or Gaines/ridnour. 2nd- The Wizards arent going to draft collison even though he is one of the best players in teh draft. They have to many bigmen they could really use a scorer to take over jordans departure most likley the Euro-Jordan Mikeal Pietrus 3rd- Sonics are not going to select another guard when they got rid of that radmonivic guy and also have allen, redd in the backcourt. They need another scoring bigman to play along with allen and the best forward on the board will probably be sweetney.
1st - Milwaukee now thinks that they may be able to re-sign Payton, so them taking a bigman is not out of the question. They do like Hinrich, though. 2nd - the Wizards' bigmen are pathetic. Their best? Christian Laettner. Brown has been a bust, Jahidi White and Etna Thomas are always on the bench or injured, and Brendan Haywood is a good backup. And, last I checked, they have a scorer. His name is Jerry Stackhouse. 3rd - The Bucks have Michael Redd, not the Sonics. If they trade Barry away, they are left with almost nothing at point guard and just Ray Allen at shooting guard. If they trade Radmanovic, it's to Toronto for #4, where they will get that bigman in Bosh, leaving them free to select a guard at 14.
