KingsFans.com Mock Draft 2017
- Thread starter Capt. Factorial
- Start date
We have a trade to announce! The Utah Jazz have agreed to sell their Nr. 42 selection to the Miami Heat for cash, making this the first trade in the 2017 Kingsfans mock draft!
With the 42th pick, the Miami Heat select DJ Wilson.
The trade has been agreed to by the league (e.g. The Capt.).
Edited for explanation:
The Heat are excited to add a player that they value really highly. They like his athleticism on defense and his shooting on offense. He also fits next to Winslow in the future at the second forward spot.
All in all the Heat feel like they are well positioned for the future, getting high upside guys in Mitchell and Wilson later in the draft than they thought they would go.

With the 44th pick the New York Knicks select PJ Dozier - South Carolina.
The New York Knicks believe he has all the physical tools necessary to be a superb player in time. In the present, his elite defensive capabilities will come in handy. The next believe at worst he will be a solid 3-n-D player throughout his career.

With the 48th pick, the Milwaukee Bucks select Aleksandar Vezenkov, currently playing for Barcelona.
The Bucks really like Vezenkov and are once again trying to find a diamond in the rough overseas. The Bucks expect Vezenkov to stay with Barcelona for one or two years, and then replacing Teletovic as the backup stretch 4.
Besides being a good shooter, Vezenkov also has a high Basketball IQ and is a good passer.

Yes, N0tmyfault is up next at #51, and yes, he has been MIA for the entire draft. But since the draft has been speeding along I'll give him the clock he's entitled to overnight, and if he doesn't show up I'll pick for him in the morning. So, knowing my schedule, that means the clock is up at...call it 8:30 AM Pacific. (Because I ain't getting up at 4!)
N0tmyfault has timed out. The Nuggets have already taken Anigbogu to give them an athletic big man prospect and Robinson was attempt #1 at shoring up SF given that Gallinari has an opt out this offseason. Now the Nuggets are going to try to shore up SF one more time with Dwayne Bacon, SF, Florida St. Bacon is a tiny bit undersized for the SF at 6'6", but has a solid wingspan and the strength to play there. While he can be quiet on the court, He had several moments this year where he just absolutely took over a game, playing 10 minute stretches as if he were a superstar. Maybe he never gets consistent enough to break into his own in the NBA, but the Nuggets will take that chance at #51.
