NBA Mock Draft

[OTK]

1) Chicago- Derrick Rose

2) Miami- O.J. Mayo

3) Minnesota- Michael Beasley (will most likely trade down if Mayo isn't available because after him they want Love)

4) Seattle- Brook Lopez

5) Memphis- Kevin Love

6) New York- Russell Westbrook

7) LA Clippers- Jerryd Bayless

8) Milwaukee- Joe Alexander

9) Charlotte- Eric Gordon

10) New Jersey- DJ Augustin

11) Indiana- Anthony Randolph

12) Sacramento- Kosta Koufos

13) Portland- Alexis Ajinca

14) Golden State- Jason Thompson

15) Phoenix- Danilo Gallinari

16) Philadelphia- DeAndre Jordan

17) Indiana- Robin Lopez

18) Washignton- Javale McGee

19) Cleveland- Mareese Speights

20) Charlotte- Roy Hibbert

21) New Jersey- Brandon Rush

22) Orlando- Donte Green

23) Utah- Darrell Authur

24) Seattle- Nicholas Batum

25) Houston- Chris Douglas-Roberts

26) San Antonio- Ryan Anderson

27) Portland- Ante Tomic

28) Memphis- Bill Walker

29) Detroit- Nathan Jawai

30) Boston- Serge Ibaka


This is how I see the draft going, but I expect there to be a few trades. New York would love to move up to get Mayo, and if they can't do that they will make sure they get Westbrook. Milwaukee might move up if they feel someone ahead of them will draft Alexander. Minnesota will probably move down if Miami does indeed take Mayo at number two because I think they have Love ahead of Beasley on their draft board. It should be an interesting draft, and don't be surprised to see Seattle take Westbrook at number four over Lopez because they have shown a lot of interest in him. Charlotte would love for Lopez to fall to them, but I don't see that happening. They could possibly trade up for him though. Indiana would be thrilled if Randolph fell to them at 11 and with good reason. He will be a very good player in this league, and he is one of the kids I am highest on.

My personal top 10 goes as follows:

1. Rose
2. Mayo
3. Beasley
4. Lopez
5. Westbrook
6. Bayless
7. Randolph
8. Alexander
9. Jordan
10. Speights

How does everyone else see this draft going? Who's your team and who do you want with your pick? My Raps traded their pick, so I have nothing to watch for concerning them tomorrow as they don't have a single pick.

Gallanari Has A Top 10 Guarantee, He Wont Go Past The Nets At 10.

Nice Mock Though!..love Me Some Nba Draft, Im Pumped.

wolves fan, am happy with beasley or mayo, more interested in mayo though.

99 percent sure they trade there 2 2nd round picks to move up into the first round. the 31st pick is actually very valuable since you don't have to guarantee a contract.

Nice Mock Though!..love Me Some Nba Draft, Im Pumped.

He does have talent, but apparently the Nets are backing off of him, and if they don't pick him I don't see him going until the Suns pick at 15.

bodog has a lot of props up there pick by pick.. if you know your stuff you could potentially rake in the cash.

i don't see dj white getting in the 1st round (a prop).
and bill walker should get picked in the 1st round (prop).

i believe the pistons have guaranteed walker if he's there at 29, they'll take him.

 

[OTK]

I like both the Walker to go in the first round and White to not go in the first round bets. Unfortunately the max bet is only $100 though, but I put $100 on both.

I also have the max on the "other" option for "Who will be the #14 overall pick." It seems like Golden State is set on taking Thompson with the pick, and the options they have are Koufos, Green, Authur and Speights.

 

[bontster023]

your way off otk. you dont even have mario chalmers going in the first round. Hes a potential lottery pick going to sacramento or goes to phonix. And if mayo gets drafted before beasley that will be the biggest shock in the draft. The other Kstater walker wont go in the first round either.
nice mock tho, have fun

[BestPlay2day]

Wolves fan here, if it goes Rose, Beasley as expected I want Mayo. Believe he will be someone special and has a good chance to be a star. If McHale f**ks this draft up and takes someone like Love or Lopez, there will be a riot at the Target Center from the few fans they have now.

 

[OTK]

Chalmers could go high, but I'm not really high on this guy. He doesn't impress me, and he seems to have second round talent. Walker has a much higher ceiling than Chalmers and should go before him.

Mayo going ahead of Beasley wouldn't be surprising at all. Riley has made it no secret that he is in love with Derrick Rose, but also really likes OJ Mayo. If he takes Beasley it would most likely be because the ownership pressured him into doing so because it seems like he, like me, likes Mayo more than Beasley.

BestPlay2day- Minnesota has Mayo as the second player on their board I believe, so if Beasley goes second like he very well could there is no way the T-Wolves don't take Mayo. You're right though, he will be a special player. If Mayo goes second the Wolves would trade down I think and take Love.

 

[OTK]

Also, it looks like the Clippers are trading up to #4 to take Eric Gordon, and Seattle will take either Lopez or Bayless at #7. The SuperSonics would also get LA's first round pick next season.

This trade won't happen though if Mayo is available at #4 for some reason. Seattle would then back out of the trade and take Mayo with the pick.

The Nets might be looking to trade up to #5 to take either Love or Gallinari. I thought the Italian might slip a bit but the Nets seem to be interested again.

I haven't heard the Knicks in any rumors, so I am assuming they are content with taking Westbrook at number 6. They have him as the number four player on their board after Rose, Mayo and Beasley.

mario chalmers will be the next agent 0. I love gilberts game and mario can play better defense. Ive been watching him for 5 years and Im really happy hes playing for the heat. Go heat! It would be a good future wager to take the heat to win their division.

 

[OTK]

I don't know about that. I wasn't surprised to see him go in the second round, and he'll be coming off the bench his entire career. He was a pretty good college player and will be an average reserve player in the NBA to give guys like Wade a rest. Nothing about him stands out to me. Most people just know his name because he hit that huge shot in the finals. There's just not much that I really love about his game.

 

[bontster023]

only time will tell otk. mario will be playing point guard so its either him or jason williams, or chris quinn. we all know white chocolate dont got it anymore. peace mon.

 

[halekulani]

so much for those 2 prop bets

dj white went in the first, walker didnt

 

[bontster023]

mario chalmers

Heat fans seam to think that mario chalmers could be their starting point guard. If Chris quinn could start im damn sure mario can. OTK, no disrespect to your knowledge, but you've probable, watched him 2 or 3 times and not to mention he propelled ku to the championship.
