Love the effort.

I can't see Chriss falling past 4 or murray past 5. I love that pick for Boston at 23.I also think Zizic goes round 1.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

1. Simmons
2. Ingram
3. Chriss

24. Tyler Ullis
25. Taurean Prince

Ainge cannot pass on Mccaw 4 times.

Just cannot.

Damn I knew I forgot someone. I have Zizic also in the first, ahead of Zubak.

I thought Chriss slides a bit if Phoenix doesn't take him at 4. I think there are plenty of decent PF type players available at Phoenix's 13th pick in order for them to pass on him there, without much wing depth in that range.

I have Murray sliding a bit also due to Hield being a better fit, IMO, next to Rubio and with Towns. Pelicans could be a spot for him too, but with Jrue missing lots of time the last few seasons, they may look to draft Dunn as their guard of the future. At worst they could both play together because Dunn has good size and is pretty strong.

Ainge cannot pass on Mccaw 4 times.

Just cannot.

My #33 pick wish list is Mccaw, Ulis, Qi, Levert, Brogodon, Stone, Bentil, Bolomboy...

Any of those guys would have me

 

[The Q]

I would be ok if the Celts took Mccaw at 16. so 31 would be hammer time for me as well.

Atlanta just made a trade to get the 12th Pick. Pulled the trigger to early on my Mock, lol. Could see Baldwin jumping up to that spot for Atlanta.

Who did they trade?

 

[CitySushi]

Who did they trade?

Teague goes to Indiana. George Hill goes to Utah. #12 pick goes to Atlanta.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Teague to Indy...I like it!

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Teague goes to Indiana. George Hill goes to Utah. #12 pick goes to Atlanta.

I wonder why the Jazz didn't just grab Teague?

 

[CitySushi]

I wonder why the Jazz didn't just grab Teague?

I have to believe another pick was included. I would think the Pacers pick would be shipped to Utah as well.

Yep.

I hope they take Luawa @21 and not Prince.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Minny looking at Manimal.

Couldn't be for #5.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Looking closer at this draft class, after the top 2 picks nobody left around is really that impressive!

if Minny DOES get him they better hope he becomes the Manimal of old...

I would be really interested in seeing if the Warriors try to purchase that 21st pick from the Hawks. They could use it to draft Luwawu or Zizic and use that pick as a draft and stash. Wouldn't count against this years cap hold if they don't sign him immediately and they could keep any cap room they have for this off-season. Then bring them over after a year.

 

[Black Adam]

TWO first rounders you say...

hmm, Mitch...?
