nice mock draft

Thanks for the feedback

Ive heard Browns name mentioned to the Lakers before, the guy at DraftX told someone I know that he heard they will take him if hes there at 26, but who knows at this point. If they trade up and get Roy that messes the whole thing up.

Ive heard the 6ers may have a promise to Douby, and I know the Jazz number 1 is Brewer followed by Sene.

why don't you like Redick with the magic? i think he's a great fit there, and stevenson is as good as gone.

Ya Shannon Brown has been linked to us, agree. I don´t think people will take Redick before they pick Brewer who bumped his stock with excellent athleticism numbers (second in the draft) a few days ago and a 41 inch vertical. He has much greater upside than Redick and since DeShawn Stevenson is a FA, Orlando needs a SG and Brewer would be the perfect fit since he is a PG in a SG body and can allow Nelson to be more in a scoring position (What is Nelsons mentality).

76ers need a backup for AI, Quincy Douby is an excellent player but I think when you draft in the lottery for some reasons you try to pick up a bigman.76ers know Webber ain´t all that and they don´t have an adequate backup for him. Look for Simmons or Johnson to end up there. Simmons has great workouts and has bumped his stock a lot lately. Jazz wouldn´t be able to take Brewer because IMO he is going to Orlando at the very latest (if not in the top 10).
Chicago also won´t pick Simmons since he would be gone. They pick Aldridge with the 2 and they probably look for a SG since Gordon is shopped (and IMO he will be traded sooner or later). It seems like Chicago doesn´t really need Gordon who soon has to be extended and they don´t want to waste money on him because they love Deng, Nocioni and Hinrich as their core.

Lakers: I don´t know, if we trade up its going to be top 5 or around 12-15. IMO they won´t trade up just because Mitch is conservative and believes they can pick a good guy with 26. I would hope Quincy Douby, Farmer or Rondo would fall. We have to pick a PG so Shannon Brown is also in the mix, tho he is more of a SG. Quincy DOuby tho would be a dream or Rondo (both pipe at this point) but you never know...

Mock it. I have Kyle Lowry pulling out of the draft.

1. Cha (from Tor) - LaMarcus Aldridge
2. Chi – Adam Morrison
3. Tor (from Cha) – Andrea Bargnani
4. Por – Rudy Gay
5. Atl – Ronnie Brewer
6. Min – Tyrus Thomas
7. Bos – Brandon Roy
8. Hou – Marcus Williams
9. GS – Patrick O’Bryant
10. Sea – Cedric Simmons
11. Orl – J.J. Redick
12. NO – Rodney Carney
13. Phi – Quincy Douby
14. Utah – Randy Foye
15. NO – Shelden Williams
16. Chi – Alexander Johnson
17. Ind – Maurice Ager
18. Wash – Rajon Rondo
19. Sac – Sergio Rodriguez
20. NY – Thabo Sefolosha
21. Phx – Saer Sene
22. NJ – Hilton Armstrong
23. NJ – Shawne Williams
24. Mem – Jordan Farmar
25. Cle – Guillermo Diaz
26. LAL – Shannon Brown
27. Phx – James White
28. Dal – Marquinhos
29. NY – Josh Boone
30. Por (maybe LA) – Paul Davis

hmm Sky, why would Charl trade with Tor...and who would be involved? Thats if it isnt just a pick swap.

Also, If the reports are true and we do get Banks. Why draft Brown?

Charlotte-Toronto has been rumored for a while now. Brevin Knight and 3 for 1 and Alvin Williams. Raps still get their man in Bargnani, replace Mike James and shed eternally injured Alvin and his radioactive contract. Win-win-win for them. Charlotte gets the 4 they want in order to keep Okafor at center, they already have Gerald Wallace at 3.

Shannon Brown is a short 2. Lester has said the Lakers like 21-22 guys. Projecting what that list would look like, I have Brown as the final guy on that list. He is a 39% 3 shooter, quick and active. As Veintecuatro noted, Draft X has heard a rumor that the Lakers made a promise to Brown that they'll take him if he's still on the board at 26. Sounds plausible to me, sniper 2 with defensive speed fills a need and Brown is likely the best available talent at 26 in a thin draft.

Sky, can the Lakers get Guillermo DIaz? and if Jose Juan Barea doesn't get drafted do u think the Lakers can'invite him to their summer league?

If they're signing Banks, 1 is crossed off the list on draft day. Position is three deep.

Diaz could be there at 26 but he's raw. Berea has handles and passing skills but not much else, and he's a shrimp.

Sky, you still think that Tor-Cha trade has any legs with MJ in the house?

I don't think Jordan changes anything for them on draft day. It's still Bickerstaff's team to run and Jordan did a poor job as GM.
