Lucky Lottery 05.23.2007 - Updated on 05.23.2007
 | | | | | | | | | | Well last night was full of surprises with the draft lottery, a lot of odds were beaten with the top three picks. Instead of the projected order of Memphis, Boston, and Milwaukee. Luck landed in the Pacific Northwest with Portland, and Seattle having the two top picks, and Atlanta with the third pick really lucked out, because any pick past the third would have went to Phoenix to complete the Joe Johnson trade.The rest of the draft is in order based on the season records starting with the worst. So here is a new list of my mock first round draft, as of right now. 1. Portland- Greg Oden
2. Seattle- Kevin Durant
3. Atlanta- Al Horford
4. Memphis- Mike Conley Jr
5. Boston- Brandan Wright
6. Milwaukee- Corey Brewer
7. Minnesota- Julian Wright
8. Charlotte- Roy Hibbert
9. Chicago- Spencer Hawes
10. Sacramento- Jeff Green
11. Atlanta- Acie Law
12. Philadelphia- Yi Jianlian
13. New Orleans- Joakim Noah
14. L.A. Clippers- Al Thornton
15. Detroit- Jason Smith
16. Washington- Nick Young
17. New Jersey- Tiago Splitter
18. Golden State- Josh McRoberts
19. L.A. Lakers- Morris Almond
20. Miami- Javaris Crittenton
21. Philadelphia- Thaddeus Young
22. Charlotte- Rodney Stuckey
23. New York- Marcus Williams
24. Phoenix- Rudy Fernandez
25. Utah- Aaron Gray
26. Houston- Brandon Rush
27. Detroit- Alando Tucker
28. San Antonio- Dominic McGuire
29. Phoenix- Nick Fazekas
30. Philadelphia- Gabe Pruitt |

on 05.23.2007 | Overall I like the list, I would change around a few selections, but I can definetly see where you’re coming from Lance. You have the best mock list I’ve seen so far. . | Posted by

on 05.23.2007 | I can see where Lance is coming from with his draft. He based it on what players fit with certain teams or what might be best for them. I honestly feel it’s perfect. Some say Yi or Joakim would go at 5 for the Celtics, but I think B.Wright is a way better route to go for them. . | Posted by
on 05.23.2007 | I like your mock draft list Lance is makes sense, I don’t really see a problem with it. The only one that I may disagree with is Yi Jianlian, I think he’ll be a top 10 no matter what. . | Posted by

on 05.23.2007 | Wow the lottery was a shocker. Nobody seen that coming. I know Memphis, Boston, and Milwaukee and Phoenix are pissed, because they missed out on players that would be perfect for their franchises. . | Posted by

on 05.23.2007 | Yeah Boy! Oden gonna be a beast in Portland our new lineup of Greg.O, LeMarcus.A, Brandon.R, Jarret. J and Martell.W. Then our bench wit Darius.M, Serigo.R, Joel.P, Travis.O, Fred.J, and Dan.D. We’ll be the most improved team next year. Young, fun, and sweet. I can’t wait. Peace out Randolph you fat, overpaid, punk. We no longer need you. . | Posted by

on 05.23.2007 | Well peace out Rashard Lewis, you’re getting bumped for our future franchise player Kevin Durant. That saves us alot of money anyway. If only we can find a good young center, we might beable to pull a 6,7,or 8 seed next year, with the right coach and play as a team with no issues. . | Posted by

on 05.23.2007 | ha, ha Grizzles and Celtics, I bet you’re salty. You would’ve shome how screwed up the picks anyway based on your history of drafting in the top 3. . | Posted by
Lakers 4 Life
on 05.23.2007 | I really do hope the Lakers take Morris Almond, he’d be a perfect fit and is capable of playing right now. Phil would like a player like him. . | Posted by
on 05.23.2007 | Man the Hawks better pick Mike Conley Jr first, than take Jianlian later, based on Lances draft it could work. . | Posted by
ATL- Shawty
on 05.23.2007 | I want my Hawks to take Yi Jianlian, I don’t care what his age is, dude has skills that we could use. . | Posted by
on 05.23.2007 | Why did you let Yi Jianlian slip Lance? Do you have some inside info on the deal with is age? Because it was reported he would slip if it was found thats he’s 3 years older than what he really is. . | Posted by
