a few thoughts & comments, I'll do my 1st mock once underclassmen date to declare passes, which is some time in early to mid May....

- I think Julian Wright said he's definitely going back to college....I think Chase Budinger should go back for his sophomore year....I really like him, but another year would do him good....

- Noah is a great fit for Phoenix or any other uptempo team, so it would be good to see him go to the right situation (Y)

- I think Brandan Wright & Spencer Hawes, if they both go, will go a little higher, & Jeff Green will go lower....

- I think if Thaddeus Young, despite his up-&-down freshman campaign, would be a mid-1st Rounder at worst....although I think he should go back to college....same with Al Thornton, no way he falls that far....

- I dunno, I just don't see D.J. Strawberry as 1st Round material....

- you've forgotten some big international talents like Marco Belinelli, Rudy Fernandez, Tiago Splitter & more....

otherwise a solid list at this stage, based on college players....

Interesting.

- I think Julian Wright said he's definitely going back to college....I think Chase Budinger should go back for his sophomore year....I really like him, but another year would do him good....


Julian heading back to Kansas must suck for Portland fans, he would be a great fit and available where they would pick. Chase Budingers dad said he will return to Arizona I believe.

I think I'll plan up my mock now...

This is my mock with team needs considered and assuming Mike Conley, Daequan Cook, Tywon Lawson, Hasheem Thabeet, Chase Budinger, etc don't enter the draft. Not sure if I have some mistakes, I had about 3 seperate occasions where I forgot a player that should be drafted about 10 spots higher and had to reorder it, including team needs.

I belive portland wants Aaron brooks and i Think Thronton would be a great pick 4 portland but i like Hibbert at that spot

Mon Apr 02, 2007 2:00 pm

I put Al Thornton because the Blazers need a SF badly and have alot of bigmen on their roster. It doesn't matter wether Portland wants Aaron or not because the won't draft him at 8 and their next pick comes at the same time the second round, which I think will be too late to grab him. I thought he would go to San Antonio but their backup PG problem is just as bad as the fact they have no good centers, so I think they would take the best center available in Gasol.

Actually, I should switch the last two picks of the first. You have Phoenix picking, and they need a PG or a center as this point after getting a very good PF early and a do it all shooting guard in Arron Afflalo at 24, they are probably after a C or PG. I think they would go with Arron Brooks, coming from a high powered offence, he should fit right in.

Then that leaves Philadelphia who nabbed two bigs earlier, they are looking for a SG or a PG. The next best PG would go in the top 10 or so in the second round, so they figure why reach when they can get a very good shooting guard to fill one of their gaps.

It'll be interesting to see how it goes down on draft day.

what do you base this on?

Sat Apr 07, 2007 5:22 pm

Slamduncan, Tucker has been in college for 5 years. Thats what knocks him so low. He is older than LeBron, and LBJ was drafted almost 4 years ago. GM's love potential, and potential comes with age for the mot part.

I hope Noah will go to Phoenix (depend also of Atlanta's place in the draft)

Mon Apr 09, 2007 7:44 pm

Portland fans rejoice, Julian Wright will declare!

Tue Apr 10, 2007 5:40 am

Alando Tucker will go low because he's a 6'6" power forward - not for any other reason. He's no Barkley, that's for sure.

Tue Apr 10, 2007 4:11 pm

Tucker is a SG/SF slasher on the next level though, he has the speed, athleticism and the shooting ability to play it.

wasn't Josh Howard a 6'6" PF in college too? I think Tucker is similar situation, he'll be fine....I hope Jared Dudley can rise up the rankings, have loved the guy since I first saw him play :P

I hope CHarlotte drafts Julian not Brandon, I hate brandon...I hate UNC...I love KU, and Julian Wright would be my dream...OH PLEASE LORD HELP ME OUT HERE. lol, first we get Morrison, thank god and maybe even Julian...I would love it. Julian is the man

Tue Apr 17, 2007 6:39 pm
