Man I hope the kings draft Hibbert, mabey we should trade down for his pick, but I dont think a power forward that weighs less than 200lbs is NBA material sorry. We drafted hawes last year but I think he would be a better power forward. I dont care that we would be using our pick on a backup player, we need to get some young big men in here asap, before Brad Miller dies of old age \1 .

Your site is easily top 3 for NBA mock drafts as it is abundantly clear you do think "out of the box" and give your true opinion. with that said NBA execs that I have spoken with since Orlando have said quite a bit but here is a summary: Brook lopez no better than 9 to charlotte. Gallinari somewhere between 12 and 15 knicks and nets will NOT pick him. Gary Forbes late first as high as 22 to Orlando. Cortney Lee top of the SECOND as his only hope was 27 to New Orleans thats gone now . DJ White won’t go past the 30’s. Reggie Williams doing well in workouts(outplayed Eric Gordon in Seattle) and looks to now get drafted 32-42.Alex Maric and Mike Green talk in very late second round .

Is the draft driven more by who makes it to the Final Four? That’s what it looks like to me. I saw many of these guys and there are those further down the board who are better players. It seems more like a popularity contest. I looked at a website that had 98 Draft Picks rated 10 years later. Very few of the the top drafts really did something. This will be interesting! .

Nobody is picking D.J. White first round, for what, just becuas ehe’s tough and can rebound, he’s undersized and probably will be medicore at the next level. Robert McKiver isn’t getting drafted he’ll have to take the long route to the NBA. Chris Lofton is getter off going overseas he would thrive there. Drew Neitzel, Reggie Williams and Brian Roberts are better off overseas as well. The team that selects Shan Foster will do what the Mavs did with Reyshawn Terry last year, staching him in another league. I think the biggest steal in the draft will be JR Giddens. The draft is 2 days 6 hours, 10 minutes, and 30 seconds away as of right now .

Rob McKiver is definitely underrated! I saw most of the home games and some of the away games. Fluff, did what he felt he needed to do to win. Unfortunately, that makes him look like a selfish player. On the contrary, he would get the ball into his teammates hands when they were hot or would shoot the ball. There were games when Toney, Dowell, Lewis, Malone and Williams were really playing some ball. Then, there were games that they barely got 10 points. The inconsistency of the individual players was often disappointing. I think the coaching had something to do with it. I thought that Lanny would be back and able to truly contribute to the team. This did not happen. Anyway, Fluffs a good kid and I hope he gets drafted. .

I hope teams don’t sleep on PG Mike Green from Butler. He was a solid 4 year player, but like Neitzel, Singletary, Roberts, and Taylor, those PG’s could be headed overseas .

I hear Minnesota wants to draft Kevin Love, they really think he goes well with Jefferson. I stay in the Charlotte area, and more talk has been brewing that if Eric Gordon is still available, they would almost guaranteed take him, MJ and Larry Brown feel he fits some of the things they’re looking for. I also think many of the seniors that people have mentioned like Nelson, Lofton, Neitzel, White, Foster, Roberts, and Roby. Are all in valid spots, they are talented, but teams are going to draft them in high spots. They’re what you call steals, but not guarantees. I think people tend to get caught up in Player names and High profile Schools .

That Would be crazy for Miami to do , why would pa-------up Beasley for Lopez or Love. You’d atleast have to take Beasley and entertain some trades. The Only other person worth passing Beasley for is Mayo. .

If Chicago takes Rose, Miami should trade down to 5 and take Lopez or Love. .

WTF was Lamar Winchester writing about? He didn’t put them in the first round, he put them in the second round where they belong. Maybe you should proof read before you make comments. Just because some of these players stayed 4 years and played well doesn’t mean they are worthy of being picked in the first round. I guarantee Lance’s spots would be alot closer than yours, and we shall see on draft day. I bet Neitzel, Foster, Nelson, Lofton, White, and the other overhyped seniors will be mid to late second round selections, a couple might not even get drafted that’s reality. .

Look out for Keith Brumbaugh he is gonna be a beast. Whether it’s in the NBA or Overseas, dude has skills. Miami could be a nice spot for him .

Most scouts have actually said that Chris Lofton and Drew Neitzel would be lucky enough to get drafted. Their stocks have fallen this season really bad. They’re skilled enough to get spots on teams if they’re not drafted, but I think the spots on here are valid .

MIAMI should pick beasley then trade haslem and chris quinn for OJ Mayo .
