I want to preface this mock draft by saying this is probably the most difficult mock draft I've ever done. Once you get past the first 10 or 11 picks, it becomes a total crapshoot! There are players that I have going in the thirties that could go in the twenties, and vice versa. Regardless of...

Way to early and worthless because my final mock draft for 2023 is unlikely to look anything like this one. But this one is fun because I can pretty much slot players where I want because it's all about potential, and this draft is loaded with potential. It's probably one of the deepest drafts...

I'd like to preface this by saying that I expect there will be trades on draft day, but I'm doing the mock with the assumption that no trades will happen and everyone will draft in the expected order. I'm also drafting who I think is the best player for that team which may not be the overall...

I have to admit, this is a hard draft to predict once you get past the first 9 or 10 picks. After that, it becomes a crap shoot. I couldn't guarantee you that a player taken at pick 35 won't be better than a player taken at 15. In a draft like this, I think a team is better off taking seniors...

Oscar Tshiebwe: C/PF, 6'9", 255 Lb's, 7'4" wingspan, Jr., Kentucky. 30.3 mpg - 16.3 ppg - 61.5% fgp - 00.0% 3pp - 72.7% ftp - 15.2 rpg - 0.9 apg - 1.6 blk's - 1.6 stl's Tshiebwe (pronounced Sheeb-way) is one of my very favorite players to watch in this draft. He's leads all of college in...

First I wanted to separate the possible lottery picks from the rest of the probable first round picks. Not as easy as one might think when you get down into the 10 to 14 range, where I think those picks will change from time to time as the year goes on. To me, the top four are fairly locked in...

I'm going to try and keep this short and sweet. I took a look into every teams needs, and also tried to consider who might be the best player available as well. So without further ado, here we go. 1. Pistons: Cade Cunningham, PG/SG/SF, 6'7", 213 Lb's, 6'11" wingspan, Freshman, Oklahoma St. I...

I have narrowed it down to 10 players that could possibly be our ninth pick. I realize that's quite a few considering that normally a pick in the lottery would be down to maybe two or three players. But this is an unusual draft in that the talent runs deep into the first rd. If you were to take...

This mock is about where I would pick the players, and not where their likely to go. So expect changes in the future, especially when we actually know who is picking where. If your looking for a guard, this draft is loaded with quality at that position. 1. Cade Cunningham: 6'8", PG/SG/SF...

Kai Jones: PF/C, 6'11", 215 Lb's, Sophmore, Texas. 22.6 mpg - 8.4 ppg - 57.8% fgp - 41.7% 3pp - 68.3% ftp - 4.8 rpg - 0.6 apg - 0.7 blk's Jones has grown an inch since arriving at Texas and has improved quite a bit since his freshman year. He plays with a lot of bounce in his game and plays...

Jalen Johnson: SF/PF, 6'9", 220 Lbs, 6'10.5" wingspan, Freshman, Duke. 22.5 mpg - 11.9 ppg - 53.8% fgp - 44.4% 3pp - 66.5% ftp - 6.5 rpg - 2.4 apg - 1.3 bpk I have Johnson as a lottery pick, as do most of the mocks. But there are some who have him going somewhere between 15 and 22. If the Kings...

At this point in time, no player is locked into a set draft position, but most of the players I list in this thread are likely second rounders. So without further ado, I'll start with: Kofi Cockburn: Center, 7'0", 285 lbs, 7'6" wingspan, Sophmore, Illinios. 26.7 mpg - 17.3 ppg - 69.2% fgp -...

31. Mavericks: Vernon Carey Jr. Center, 6'10", 270 Lb's, Freshman, Duke. 24.8 mpg - 17.8 ppg - 57.7% fgp - 38.1% 3pp - 8.8 rpg - 1.6 blk's pg. Five years ago Carey might have been a lottery pick, but alas the league has changed. However Carey has shown the ability to step out and shoot the...

After going through every teams roster, and noting players that are on the final year of their contract, I made my best guess as to who that team would pick. I must say that watching the playoff's has helped in that regard as well. Of course the mystery at the top of the draft is what will the...

I have no idea whether this article has been posted previously or not, and if so, then it can be taken down. But if not, it's a brutally honest appraisal of Luke Walton's coaching ability by Premium Hoops. It's a long article with plenty of visual breakdowns. I won't give my opinion one way or...

Normally about this time of the year, with the draft over, and free agency in full bloom, I would turn my attention to next years draft. Needless to say, this isn't a normal year, but being a creature of habit, and with next years draft looking like a strong one, I figured its never too early to...

After playing around with posting a 2nd rd mock draft, I decided it's almost impossible this year to post anything that I would feel confident in. I'm not sure of anything in the 1st rd once I get past the 15th pick. Second rd's are always difficult, but this year is particularly so. When your...

I struggled with whether to do a mock on how I thought it would actually go, or do a mock listing the players the way I would pick them. Instead I decided to do a mock of how I thought each of the teams should choose based on their current roster needs. So it's a subjective opinion, and one I...

OK, here goes! Bear in mind that this isn't how I think the draft will go, but how I think it should go. I've taken the time, now that we have the draft order, to look at every team and see whose a restricted or unrestricted free agent. I also tried to take into account each teams style of play...

Just a quick reminder to those living in a closet. The NBA lottery is on tuesday, the 14th at 5:30 pm on ESPN. The NBA Draft Combine is on ESPN2, on thursday and friday from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. As I posted in the prospects forum, I think their coverage is poor, but with the Kings only having...
