NBA Mock Draft (updated 6/26)

1st Round
#TeamPosPlayerSchoolNotes
1PortlandCGreg OdenOhio StateDurant would be the better fit, as the Blazers have Zach Randolph and LaMarcus Aldridge, but they can't pass on the sure thing here
2SeattleFKevin DurantTexasOden would give them that center they've been pursuing for the last several years in the draft, but Durant is a nice consolation prize
3AtlantaPFAl Horford
Florida
Word out of Atlanta is that they are more interested in Horford than Wright now. Good call, but why not trade down and take Conley?
4MemphisPFJoakim Noah
FloridaThere is no clear-cut choice here, but Noah gives Memphis defense and rebounding and is more NBA-ready than Brendan Wright
5BostonFJeff Green
GeorgetownNow Danny Ainge says the Celtics will keep this pick. I'm still doubtful, but if they do, Green is their best option
6MilwaukeePGMike Conley
Ohio State
This pick could be traded, as many teams covet Conley, but if the Bucks keep it, Conley can back up and later replace Mo Williams
7MinnesotaCSpencer HawesWashingtonUntil the Garnett trade talk clears up it's hard to say what they'll do with this pick, but McHale is a fan of Hawes
8CharlottePFBrandan Wright
North CarolinaAt this point there is considerably less risk in taking Wright and Charlotte would add yet another Tar Heel (May, Felton, MJ)
9ChicagoPFYi JianlianChinaWith Hawes off the board, the Bulls can draft Yi and either trade the pick (to Golden State perhaps) or try to groom him into the big man they need
10SacramentoSF
Julian Wright
KansasWright would give the Kings defense and rebounding and can play some point forward. The defense could be big as Artest could be moved
11AtlantaPGJavaris CrittentonGeorgia TechAs determined as the Hawks seem to avoid drafting a position they need, it's hard to see them drafting yet another forward.
12PhiladelphiaG/FCorey Brewer
FloridaWhat a steal this would be for the Sixers (and maybe wishful thinking on my part). Brewer's offense is overrated, but he'll be a stopper right away
13New OrleansSFThaddeus YoungGeorgia TechThornton would also be a solid pick, but at 18, Young has more upside. The Hornets were reportedly impressed by his workout
14LA ClippersPGAcie LawTexas A&MWhat better mentor for Law than his most common comparison, Sam Cassell? Livingston has not proven he can start or stay healthy
15DetroitF/CSean WilliamsBoston CollegeWilliams would be a great fit for the Pistons who need shot-blocking and intensity. Joe Dumars has shown he has no fear of cast-offs
16WashingtonSGNick YoungUSCIf DeShawn Stevenson's YouTube appearance has proven anything, it's that the Wizards need an upgrade at shooting guard
17New JerseyFAl ThorntonFlorida StateThe athletic forward would excel in a fast-paced Jason Kidd-run offense and would help make up for the loss of Vince Carter
18Golden StatePFJason SmithColorado StateSmith would be a great small-ball player, with great size, athleticism, and a nice shooting touch and should fit right in to Nellie's system
19LA LakersPGGabe PruittUSCYes, the Lakers have Jordan Farmar, but they need a backup if Smush Parker is let go or if Farmar is part of a major trade
20MiamiSGRodney StuckeyEastern WashingtonThe Heat get a young combo guard who can help ease the scoring load on Wade and should be able to knock down some open threes
21PhiladelphiaPFJosh McRobertsDukeHe may not have the perimeter game scouts thought he would develop, but he should be a capable scorer and rebounder
22CharlotteSGMorris AlmondRiceThe Bobcats can improve their scoring and depth at SG, which gives them a sort of Plan B if they can't land Vince Carter
23New YorkSFWilson Chandler
DePaul
Like Renaldo Balkman, Chandler would likely be a 2nd round pick if he doesn't go here, but he probably got a promise from Isiah because he's cancelled his workouts
24PhoenixSGRudy FernandezSpainPhoenix needs another player who can play a little point guard and spell Steve Nash. Fernandez provides that and some shooting
25UtahSGMarco BelinelliItalyBelinelli would be an upgrade over Derek Fisher and Gordon Giricek and the Jazz could really use his three-point shooting
26HoustonPFGlen DavisLSUYao needs help as Houston has relied on Mutombo, Juwan Howard, and Chuck Hayes. Davis can help with scoring and rebounding
27DetroitSFDerrick ByarsVanderbiltByars ought to be an improvement for Detroit's bench and as a 6-7 220 lb senior, he should have the NBA-readiness the Pistons want
28San AntonioPFTiago SplitterBrazilSplitter won't be eligible to leave his Euroleague team until 2008, but the Spurs have the depth to be patient with him
29PhoenixSGDaequan Cook
Ohio State
The Suns would be hard-pressed to pass up on such a talented shooter this late in the draft, especially when he can play a little PG
30PhiladelphiaPFAli TraoreFranceWith four picks in this year's draft, the Sixers can afford to let Traore take his time and develop abroad for another year.
2nd Round
31SeattleCAaron Gray
Pittsburgh
Gray's plodding pace hurt his stock, but he could be a solid big man
32BostonCMarc Gasol
SpainNot as athletic as his brother Pau, but he can play in the low-post
33San AntonioPGTaurean GreenFloridaGreen should be an upgrade over Jacque Vaughn and Beno Udrih
34DallasSFDemetris NicholsSyracuseNichols gives Dallas another swingman and some outside shooting
35SeattleSFMarcus WilliamsArizonaVersatile swingman helps make up for the loss of Rashard Lewis
36Golden StateSFReyshawn TerryNorth CarolinaWarriors get more depth at small forward and a good shooter
37PortlandPGZabian DowdellVirginia TechPortland could trade up to get Conley, but if not they take a backup
38PhiladelphiaSFAlando TuckerWisconsinTucker's athleticism and rebounding would be a good fit in Philly
39OrlandoSGArron AfflaloUCLAOrlando needs help at shooting guard with Grant Hill leaving
40LA LakersSFJared DudleyBoston CollegeDudley does not seem to fit any NBA achetype, but he will find a way
41MinnesotaCKyle Visser
Wake Forest
Visser can provide some good low-post scoring to help Garnett
42PortlandPFNick FazekasNevadaHard to know how he will pan out. He can shoot, but he lacks bulk
43New OrleansPGRamon SessionsNevadaBobby Jackson ain't what he used to be and Paul needs a backup
44OrlandoPFHerbert HillProvidenceHill shined in his senior season and could be a sleeper this late
45LA ClippersSGJamesOn CurryOklahoma StateWith Cuttino Mobley declining, the Clippers need outside shooting
46Golden StatePGPetteri Koponen
Finland
An intriguing young point guard who will stay overseas to develop
47WashingtonCStanko Barac
BosniaNot very athletic, but a fundamentally-sound center with good size
48LA LakersSGTrey JohnsonJackson StateIf nothing else he can relate to Kobe, as a great scorer on a bad team
49ChicagoSFDominic McGuireFresno StateScott Skiles loves defense and the versatile McGuire can provide it
50DallasPFKyrylo Fesenko
UkraineAt 7-0, 245 lbs, he has great size, but he is still very raw
51ChicagoSGRenaldas SeibutisLithuaniaChicago would likely leave him in Europe and let him develop
52PortlandSFJoao Gomes
PortugalHe's been impressive at Eurocamp, though he's a few years away
53PortlandPGBobby Brown
CS FullertonMore of a combo guard, drawing comparisons to Bobby Jackson
54HoustonSGD.J. StrawberryMarylandLimited potential, but might develop into a solid role player
55UtahSGJ.R. Reynolds
VirginiaA bit undersized at 6-3, but good shooting range and quickness
56MilwaukeeCChris Richard
FloridaA good athlete with an NBA body, but he's shown limited production
57DetroitSGBrad Newley
AustraliaHe'll take a few years to develop, but great scoring ability
58San AntonioPFStephane LasmeMassachusettsAveraged an impressive 5.1 blocks per game in his senior year
59PhoenixPGJared Jordan
MaristThe Suns would have to be happy to get Jordan with such a late pick
60DallasSGRon Lewis
Ohio State
Dallas could always use another shooter and they get one here

I wish Belinelli would fall to the Suns. They need another guy like him who can shoot and play some defense at the same time.

As depressing as this next season is going to be, it's still dammned funny that Chris Wallace came down from Boston to stink up the Grizzlies and the awesome Memphis Public School Super came up to Boston. Can't wait for everyone here to freak out when he brings Vin Baker to Beale Street

To be a noble charitable being is to procure a philanthropic of openness to the world, an gift to group aleatory things beyond your own restrain, that can lead you to be shattered in very exceptionally circumstances for which you were not to blame.

To be a good benign being is to have a make of openness to the far-out, an cleverness to group aleatory things beyond your own restrain, that can lead you to be shattered in uncommonly extreme circumstances on which you were not to blame.
