Mock Draft 1.0:
FIRST ROUND
1.Washington Wizards
John Wall
Let me Just say this guy has a whole lot of strengths, and he has all the gifts in the world to make it to that elite PG class of(Rajon Rondo,Deron Williams,Chris Paul,Steve Nash,Derrick Rose and Tyreke Evans)
2.Philadelphia 76ers
Evan Turner
I would compare him to Brandon Roy with more length; College really help him grow a complete game and establish different elements. So he just might be the most complete in the draft. He has experience,he`s been the guy and he can create; So a great pick for the sixers here.
3.New Jersey Nets
Derrick Favors
Good Fit at that PF spot to pair with Brook Lopez; A talented and has the potential to be really good.
4.Minnesota Timberwolves
Wesley Johnson
Minnesota can go Big or they can go Swingman;Wesley Johnson is very efficient at scoring and has terrific Versatility ;I believe Wesley Johnson can only enhance their back court;(One concern for Gm`s is his age he turns 23 in July,but other than that;he is NBA ready) So why Not?
5.Sacramento Kings
Demarcus Cousins
Tyreke Evans and Demarcus Cousins need I say more; That will provide the Kings with a young talented PG-C combo for a long time
6.Golden State Warriors
Al-Farouq Aminu
Aminu can defintely be the pick here,he has a interesting dynamic about his game; Aminu will be able to play up tempo in that high Octane Offense that the Warriors play in. He has mis-match potential(3 or a 4), which will be very intruging to Don Nelson and the Warriors who like to play small ball. Also at this pick I can see Golden State looking at the Front Court and taking a risk on a international player in Donatas Motiejunas(a 7footer who draws raves of a Andrea Bargnani; Dirk Nowitzki type) maybe Don Nelson possible sees potential that he saw with Dirk when he was the Coach of the Dallas Mavericks.
7.Detroit Pistons
Cole Aldrich
The Pistons who need Front Court help, Aldrich would be a safe pick to make. he`s a very solid player,who will add toughness to the Pistons. So very solid pick
8.L.A. Clippers
Ekpe Udoh
Udoh, will add depth to the Clippers Front Court; He is older than his class peers(he turns 23 during the time of the draft, which Gm`s are little scare about). He has shown the ablitity to improve his game each year while in college so that proves he is willing to add on to his game. The Clippers will have alot of options: Pick the Best on the Board,Need, or they can select a young talent to develop him and grow with a core of:Eric Gordon,Blake Griffin,Chris Kaman.
9.Utah Jazz (From New York via Phoenix)
Ed Davis
If you are Utah you take the best player available; I believe Ed Davis would be a good fit here, with his Defensive fundamentals and his IQ also his overall potential is very enticing; and Hall of Fame Coach Jerry Sloan who runs a system that is based off offensive execution and defensive toughness and tenacity. To me he will be a solid fit on a Jerry Sloan team.
10.Indiana Pacers
Patrick Patterson
Eventhough, Patrick Patterson has role player potential; But he should be able to still be a real good player; He all ready has a NBA body,Athleticism,Basketball IQ, Experience and even more. He has a interesting package offensive(back to the basket game,Mid range game,Jump hook shot,also being able to finish around the rim, and he is very efficient with a nice touch.)
I think with the Pacers he will bring a different type of element to the Front Court which has been missing. The Pacers can also cover up his flaws with their young center in Roy Hibbert.(A solid defensive center)
11.New Orleans Hornets
Greg Monroe
A hometown guy which will draw buzz to the New Orleans fan base and Greg will provide depth for the Hornets Front Court; Also the Hornets will get younger in the Front Court and will have a guy who can become a good player and is still very young at 19years old. Monroe also has some offensive skills which is very enticing. He also has some similar strengths to Patrick Patterson but he also has defensive flaws like Patrick Patterson. But just like the Pacers(at 10) The Hornets have a defensive Center in Emeka Okafor who can possibly overshadow Monroe`s defensive liablities.
12.Memphis Grizzlies
Avery Bradley
I believe right here is where Memphis will take a chance and make a reach for a Point Guard. Avery is more of a 2 guard than a Point. At 6"3 he brings a dynamic as a big guard; with his long 6"7 wingspan he can create havoc defensively; also he battles defensively on each possession ; Avery encourages teammates, and also being very vocal. The Grizzlies around this time looking at the board, will not be taking another Big Man that is a project or has any potential in not producing.(Remember #2 pick 09 Hasheem Thabeet) So I think If you can add a PG, you do if your Memphis and Avery will be Perfect.
13.Toronto Raptors
Hassan Whiteside
One word: Potential; He needs to work on increasing strength, But other than that Hassan Whiteside oozes with Potential. He`s young so he and Andrea Bargnani will be able to grow as a real nice PF-C combo. Toronto is possibly going to lose a elite PF in Chris Bosh to Free Agency(sign &trade very likely) so their plans are to move Andrea Bargnani to the PF(who doesn`t like to stay in the paint; he plays away from the contact.) So this pick makes a whole lot of sense.
14.Houston Rockets
Donatas Motiejunas
I think Houston will take a chance here at 14; based on his potential of being a Dirk Nowitzki or even Andrea Bargnani. He will be a intriguing Project.
So here`s my lottery mock draft(This is all my scouting of players,and veiws)
Hope everybody Enjoys!!!!
