Caron1 Mock Draft

This is my early mock draft, I tried to take team-need into consideration but its almost impossible without knowing the real order. This should give you a good idea (along with rydjorker121's excellent mock) about some of the 1st round talent and how it may shape up. Enjoy.


1. Chicago Bulls -- Tyrus Thomas
(From New York)

2. Charlotte Bobcats -- Rudy Gay

3. Portland Trailblazers -- Adam Morrison

4. Atlanta Hawks -- LaMarcus Aldridge

5. Toronto Raptors -- Andrea Bargnani

6. Golden State Warriors -- Rodney Carney

7. Seattle Sonics -- Shelden Williams

8. Boston Celtics -- Brandon Roy

9. Minnesota Timberwolves -- Randy Foye

10. Orlando Magic -- Patrick O'Bryant

11. Houston Rockets -- Hilton Armstrong

12. Chicago Bulls -- Ronnie Brewer

13. New Orleans Hornets -- Josh McRoberts

14. Utah Jazz -- JJ Reddick

15. Philadelphia 76ers -- Marcus Williams

16. Indiana Pacers -- Rajon Rondo

17. Sacramento Kings -- Cedric Simmons

18. New Orleans Hornets -- Al Horford
(From Milwaukee)

19. Phoenix Suns -- Saer Sene
(From L.A. Lakers via Boston via Atlanta)

20. Washington Wizards -- Richard Roby

21. New York Knicks -- Josh Boone
(From Denver via New Jersey via Toronto)

22. Memphis Grizzlies -- Maurice Ager

23. New Jersey Nets -- Kevin Pittsnogle
(From L.A. Clippers)

24. Cleveland Cavaliers -- Tiago Splitter

25. New Jersey Nets -- Oleksiy Pecherov

26. Phoenix Suns -- Mardy Collins

27. L.A. Lakers -- Daniel Gibson
(From Miami)

28. Dallas Mavericks -- Steve Novak

29. New York Knicks -- Paul Milsap
(From San Antonio)

30. Portland Trailblazers -- Aaron Gray
(From Detroit via Utah

I'd make these changes (to the lottery):

1. Chicago Bulls -- LaMarcus Aldridge
3. Portland Trailblazers -- Tyrus Thomas
4. Atlanta Hawks -- Patrick O'Bryant
5. Toronto Raptors -- Randy Foye
6. Golden State Warriors -- Saer Sene
8. Boston Celtics -- Adam Morrison
9. Minnesota Timberwolves -- Rajon Rondo
10. Orlando Magic -- Rodney Carney

I like JJ going to Mormonville, nice touch.

I think it is pretty acurate, but I don't think that both Novak and Pittsongle will slip into the first round. Also, I think 26 is a little low for Mardy Collins.

didnt gibson say he was staying for his junior season?

I think you're right on about Rondo. He will go to the T-Wolves unless Atlanta trades down to take him eighth.

daniel gibson is staying....

caryney will be a dark horse in this year's draft. also, in no way is novak going to be that high. i saw one board with him going late second.
