Not sure about the Pacers taking Biyombo. The rest seems pretty good.

After sliding a SG in at #15 for the past few mocks, I'm starting to think the Pacers will go with a front court player. I heard they're pretty high on Markieff Morris (and would select him at #15), but I believe they would go with Biyombo over Morris, if both are still on the board.

 

[bosoxlover12]

i think Brooks and Honeycutt should be higher

I agree with Valanciunas tho, him not playing in the US next year is a huge dropoff

Brooks has kinda fallen off in the last few days. Haven't heard much mention about him, while it seems like teams are in love with a lot of other players.

Honeycutt will probably go in the 20's, I don't think I've moved him from #24 in awhile.

 

[Rios15]

I doubt we (Raptors) are taking another international player. Colangelo seems like he's well over that because he hasn't picked one in the past 2 years. We'll see though.

They're apparently very, very high on Vesely, so we'll see.

If not Vesely to Toronto, I'd say Walker #5, Vesely #6, Leonard #7.

 

[Rios15]

Thing about us drafting Walker is that I think Colangelo is also very high on Jerryd Bayless since last season, and see's potential in him. I'm not sure what we're really looking for this draft, but a SF or big man seems about right for us. Or a PG if Jerryd Bayless isn't locked for the PG position.

And I guess Sacramento would get Walker to move Tyreke to SG?

Well, Vesely would be the best SF on the board when it's your turn to pick. I really think it's down to Vesely or Walker at #5, but I guess Toronto also likes Biyombo. That's a little too high for him though, so I'd probably guarantee you see one of those two in a Raptors uniform next season.

Yeah, if Sacramento could get Walker it would be to move Tyreke to SG. Walker is basically a SG in a PG's body and Tyreke is a PG in a SG's body, so I think it would work out pretty well.

 

[elcheato]

Is Iman Shumpert really getting first round consideration?

Jordan Hamilton for Philly is a real nice fit if they trade Iggy

Knicks apparently really like him.

 

[elcheato]

Well damn, did they actually watch him play at GT? Just a workout warrior.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

No he was actually a good player lol IDK what your talking about

 

[elcheato]

He's inefficient, can't shoot and extremely turnover prone.. Only reason he'd go first round is because of his size for a PG.

 

[Dorado]

Am I the only one that thinks the Cavs will take Tristan Thompson?

At #4? That's pretty high. Most mocks have him going #13 to Phoenix or even later.

I put him higher than most mocks do, I feel he's being slept on, but still, #4 is too high.

IDK....I just gotta feeling that hes gonna higher than he projected

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

IDK....I just gotta feeling that hes gonna higher than he projected

LOL Like I said, he's projected anywhere from 13-16, I've got him 8.

He should be the second big after Kanter, now that Valanciunas won't be over next season.

 

[elcheato]

Tristian Thompson and JJ Hickson are pretty similar.. Unless we trade him, doubtful we take Tristian.

 

[The Young One]

It'd be pointless for us to take J-Ham..its no secret I hate his game and if we trade for aminu and kaman and warren he has no spot here.
