Mock Draft Contest: 2015

[carey]

Are you incredibly knowledgable and/or lucky? Then you could be crowned draft expert for the year by winning the NBA Mock Draft Contest.

How does it work? It's easy! You list the order you think players will be selected in 1-30. When a player is selected you subtract the number of spots between where he was actually selected from where you had the player going in your mock.

Example.

Your list:
1.KAT
2.Okafor
3.Russel
4.Zinger
5.Hezonja

Actual:
1.KAT
2.Russel
3.Zinger
4.Hezonja
5.Okafor

Your score would look like this.
1.(0 points)
2.(3 points)
3.(1 point)
4.(1 point)
5.(1 point)

Your score through 5 picks would be 6.

The lowest score through 30 picks wins. Good luck everyone bored enough to actual do this!

Holy sheeet mine was bad. My biggest misses Harrell, Connaughton, Rozier (thanks Ainge,) and Young.

Besides KAT I got Payne and Milutinov right. That is all.

Final score: 131.

[Split T]

114 for me.

Had Towns, Russell, Kaminsky, lyles, Payne, Hollis-Jefferson, and McCullough right.

Way off on looney, Harrell, Vaughn, and rozier

[JCSunsfan]

interesting. Booker was higher in every mock.

[carey]

interesting. Booker was higher in every mock.

Yeah, pretty much everyone thought 9 but then the Hornets made a bunch of wing trades. I thought they still might do it for shooting but they went with the Tank.

[JCSunsfan]

I am not going to bother. I don't think I can count that high.

167. But thats what I get for putting Christian Wood in the first round.

I was way off on Booker, Harrell, Looney, Rozier, and Wood

[Split T]

My score was actually 138, just realized the Holmes guy drafted early in round 2 is not the Holmes I picked to go 30th. Jonathon Holmes is the one I meant and he went undrafted.

Oof that hurts. Lol.

[Superbone]

So, your terrible score won, carey?

I don't know. OE32 and Wally haven't scored theirs yet and I'm too lazy to do it right now.

[OE32]

I may do it later... I'm sure I didn't win though. Not my best showing.

I hear that Chad Ford is planning to enter this 2015 mock draft contest in a few years.
