Re: phx-suns.net Mock Draft
Philly - 21 pick
Needs - Playmaking and shooting. Their core at the moment is Simmons, Harris, Horford and Embiid. If there's a trade, say Westbrook for Horford, that changes the complexion of their draft. But either way, they'll need perimeter shooting/playmaking as they felt the losses of McConnell, Reddick and Butler.
Media/Fan Consensus - Bane, Bey, Terry, Tyrese Maxey, Cole Anthony
ShelC's Pick - Would have been Tyrell Terry but since he was taken by the Heat, I'm going with Cole Anthony. Anthony's a polarizing prospect, boom or bust type who some love or hate, but I think playing with guys like Simmons and Harris (as of now) who can handle the ball and be playmakers, he can focus more on his scoring from the perimeter and making the easy play rather than being a full time PG. The Sixers are supposedly looking for guards who can play on or off the ball and I think Anthony can be a dynamic scoring/combo guard ala Coby White/Austin Rivers.

Denver - 22 pick
Needs - Size and athleticism on the wing, shooters.
Split’s Pick - Precious Achiuwa - Might be the best defensive player in the draft. Might be able to defend anyone. Also provides a nice infusion of athleticism. Good insurance if they lose Jerami Grant and someone that can cover for Murray and Jokic defensive shortcomings.

Re: phx-suns.net Mock Draft
Utah - Pick 23
Needs - Also really short on athletic wings with size who can defend. Long term backcourt partner for DM.
Split’s Pick - Robert Woodard - big and athletic and a good defensive prospect. Can hit a catch and shoot 3. Gives them someone to defend on the perimeter and has size to play the 4.
Also considered: Josh Green, Leandro Bolmaro

Re: phx-suns.net Mock Draft
For the Bucks, I’m just picking someone who I think can help with point guard depth and hopefully develop into a decent rotation player in the future.
Here we go..

Re: phx-suns.net Mock Draft
The Thunder have approximately 362 1st round draft picks over the next 6 years, and its likely that their roster will be completely turned over by that time. What they need right now are cornerstones they can build around, and they are able to take swings and misses on prospects. While I really like Isaiah Stewart (especially if they end up moving Adams), I pick Aleksej Pokusevski as someone that has a high ceiling, and a low floor.

Re: phx-suns.net Mock Draft
Believe the trade hasn’t gone through yet, but #24 went to NO for Jrue.

Re: phx-suns.net Mock Draft
With the 26th pick the Bostin Celtics select Paul Reed.
Re: phx-suns.net Mock Draft
Knicks 27th Pick
Needs: Shooting/Perimeter defense.
Media/Fan Consensus - Jahmius Ramsey, Isaiah Joe, Tyler Bey, Isaiah Stewart
ShelC's pick - After going with Kira Lewis in the lotto to put in the backcourt with Barrett, going to add a defensive swing with Tyler Bey. Ramsey and Joe are two of the better scoring guards here and would help with perimeter shooting but I think Bey fits more with Thibs' style and would bring some much needed defensive versatility and hustle to the lineup right away. Would be a quick favorite of Thibs and Knicks fans with the potential to get better on offense.

Y'all want to skip the second round, or keep going until the draft catches up with us?

Re: phx-suns.net Mock Draft
I'll keep going, I've got like 4 picks in the second round!
Re: phx-suns.net Mock Draft
There have been some really interesting picks. Woodard surprised me, Precious fell a bit, Reed is a lot higher than most drafts.
