k, are u out of ur mind?

BC is only talking about bargani and Lamarcus, so if they pick first i doubt its thomas.... secondly, chicago is obsessed with lamarcus, so why wouldnt they take him? and they arent taking bargani, they have an international 3 pt shooting sf

i disagree with ur draft in general, but sum picks make sense

Re: My Mock Draft

I would be shocked if Thomas gets picked at number #1. I also don't see Rondo getting drafted so high, and Splitter may not even be in this years draft.

Who is Chicago's int'l 3 point shooter?

Re: My Mock Draft

Who is Chicago's int'l 3 point shooter?

international 3 point shooting sf... nocioni... sure hes not 7foot, and he doesnt shoot crazy threes, but apparently he shoots the same number as bargani a game

Re: My Mock Draft

I don't think James White will be anywhere near the 1st round. Late 2nd maybe, but definitely not the 1st round.

[Bad_Intentions]

Re: My Mock Draft

White could go in the 1st, maybe around pick 18 and up..he needs to bulk up though.

Guillermo Diaz would be a perfect fit for the suns. Is Barbosa a FA?

Im hoping Lamarcus falls to my bobcats. Looks like the Euro is going #1. I also have a feeling that the Bulls will take Thomas.

Re: My Mock Draft

my original thinking was that barbosa was going to be some sort of FA this off season.. but i just checked and he's set to be a RFA next off season.

Re: My Mock Draft

What's up with the Mavs pick?

That's a reach don't you think......in fact I wouldn't be surprised if they just trade out of the 1st round and pick up an extra 2nd.

I also don't think Thomas is going #1 either. Toronto seems set on only two guy's and he's not one of them and unless they are pulling everyones coat tail.

Re: My Mock Draft

I think Toronto will trade the pick.

Re: My Mock Draft

I think Toronto will trade the pick.

The question is whether or not any other team likes a player in this draft enough to move up and pay him #1 money. I know there will be some sleepers in this draft who will eventually blow up, but right now I really don't see anyone in this draft as being worthy of a top 3 pick.

Someone has to go in those first 3 spots, but I think the teams picking 6-20 will be getting players who may easily pan out as well as the top 5.

With the way the CBA is structured, #1 money isn't much. A large majority of the time the #1 pick is way cheaper to pay than the equivalent talent you'd land in free agency.

The difference between #1 and #10 is only $2 million.

I doubt it.

[Pointguard]

Re: My Mock Draft

There will be plenty of teams that would love to move up for the #1 pick. GMs see that this draft continues to look better and better than what people are giving it credit for.

I think TOR also trades down between 2-5 and looks for Bargnani, Aldirdge or Williams, whoever is available.

Re: My Mock Draft

I will be very happy if the Bulls get LaMarcus with the 2nd pick and some backcourt help at 16, I wouldn't mind Hassan Adams with the 16th he's a nice player.
