2011 NBA Mock Draft
2010 NBA Mock Draft
2009 NBA Mock Re-Draft
Updated: June 28, 2012.
Team needs and outstanding trades HAVE been taken into account with this mock draft.
-
Charlotte Bobcats: Festus Ezeli, C, Vanderbilt, 6-11, Sr.
The Bobcats add some more size inside; small forward could also be an option.
-
Washington Wizards: Evan Fournier, SG, France, 6-6, 1992
Drafting a foreign talent like Evan Fournier and stashing him overseas for a year or two would make sense.
-
Cleveland Cavaliers: Tyshawn Taylor, PG, Kansas, 6-4, Sr.
Tyshawn Taylor could fill a void at point guard behind Kyrie Irving, but also play with him at times, too.
-
Cleveland Cavaliers: Drew Gordon, PF, New Mexico, 6-9, Sr.
The Cavaliers need to add some depth to their frontcourt.
-
Golden State Warriors: Scott Machado, PG, Iona, 6-2, Sr.
The Warriors could use a true distributor behind Stephen Curry.
-
Sacramento Kings: Miles Plumlee, C, Duke, 7-0, Sr.
It pains me to put Miles Plumlee in my mock draft since he was pretty worthless during his time at Duke. However, NBA teams love size and athleticism which Plumlee possesses.
-
Toronto Raptors: Darius Miller, G/F, Kentucky, 6-7, Sr.
Darius Miller is the ultimate glue guy and could find a role off the bench for the Raptors.
-
Denver Nuggets: Doron Lamb, SG, Kentucky, 6-5, So.
Doron Lamb is just too good of a value for the Nuggets to pass up here, and I can't believe Lamb is going to fall this low.
-
Detroit Pistons: Darius Johnson-Odom, SG, Marquette, 6-3, Sr.
The Pistons have a need for a scoring shooting guard since trading Ben Gordon.
-
Portland Blazers: Jae Crowder, SF, Marquette, 6-6, Sr.
The Blazers are looking for depth at small forward since trading Gerald Wallace.
-
Portland Blazers: Henry Sims, C, Georgetown, 7-0, Sr.
The Blazers don't have a true center under contract for next season.
-
Milwaukee Bucks: Kim English, G/F, Missouri, 6-6, Sr.
Kim English is a versatile talent, and the Bucks need some depth on the wing.
-
Atlanta Hawks: Jared Cunningham, SG, Oregon State, 6-5, Jr.
Again, the Hawks need depth all over since they only have six players under contract for next season.
-
Detroit Pistons: Tomas Sotaransky, SG, Czech Republic, 6-8, 1991
The Pistons go the foreign route with their third pick of the draft.
-
Philadelphia 76ers: Kevin Murphy, SG, Tennessee Tech, 6-6, Sr.
The Sixers grab a shooter since Jodie Meeks is a restricted free agent.
-
New Orleans Hornets: Kris Joseph, SF, Syracuse, 6-7, Sr.
Trading Trevor Ariza created a need for depth at small forward.
-
Utah Jazz: Orlando Johnson, SG, UC-Santa Barbara, 6-5, Sr.
The Jazz should be looking for depth on the wing since C.J. Miles and Josh Howard are free agents.
-
New York Knicks: Kevin Jones, PF, West Virginia, 6-7, Sr.
The Knicks need depth all over and take the best player available.
-
Orlando Magic: Khris Middleton, SF, Texas A&M, 6-8, Jr.
Orlando likely takes the best player on the board at this point.
-
Denver Nuggets: Kostas Papanikolaou, SF, Greece, 6-8, 1990
Since their core is under contract for next season, the Nuggets could go the foreign route again.
-
Boston Celtics: William Buford, SG, Ohio State, 6-5, Sr.
The Celtics should look to add a shooter with one of their three picks given that Ray Allen is a free agent.
-
Golden State Warriors: Furkan Aldemir, PF, Turkey, 6-9, 1991
The Warriors go the foreign route with their fourth pick of the draft.
-
Los Angeles Clippers: Bernard James, C, Florida State, 6-10, Sr.
The Clippers need depth on the wing and in their frontcourt. Ergo, the team takes the best available player for one of those spots.
-
Philadelphia 76ers: Tornike Shengelia, SF, Georgia, 6-9, 1991
The 76ers have three picks in the draft, so going the foreign route makes sense.
-
Dallas Mavericks: Hollis Thompson, SF, Georgetown, 6-8, Jr.
Hollis Thompson is a solid value here for a team looking for depth on the wing.
-
Toronto Raptors: Leon Radosevic, F/C, Croatia, 6-10, 1991
The Raptors go the foreign route with their third pick of the draft.
-
Brooklyn Nets: Mike Scott, F, Virginia, 6-8, Sr.
The Nets need depth all over, especially at forward since Gerald Wallace and Kris Humphries are free agents.
-
Minnesota Timberwolves: Kyle O'Quinn, C, Norfolk State, 6-10, Sr.
Darko is not the long-term solution as Minnesota's backup center.
-
San Antonio Spurs: Marcus Denmon, SG, Missouri, 6-3, Sr.
The Spurs always seem to find second-round steals; that's exactly what Marcus Denmon could be at this point.
-
Los Angeles Lakers: Tu Holloway, PG, Xavier, 6-0, Sr.
The Lakers continue to look for an answer at point guard, especially since Ramon Sessions will be a free agent.

I hope Charlotte doesn't win this lottery, they don't deserve Anthony Davis. They've butchered and mismanaged that whole team for the last four or five years. I hope teams like Cleveland, Washington, Minnesota, or Detroit win that pick. Just imagine Anthony Davis with some of those teams (not saying they would be contenders right away, but imagine the story. But whoever gets Davis is going to improve tremendously over the next few years.

Walt you gotta do some better homework before you post crap like this. You have the Warriors drafting 3 PF/C type players and a midget PG because they have nobody behind Curry??? Charles Jenkins will be the back up point guard next year and possibly a starter if Curry can't stay healthy. The organization loves Jenkins. And the Warriors now have Andrew Bogut at center with Andres Biedrins and Jeremy Tyler backing him up. So they are set at center. I do think they will draft a PF in the first round. But not three of them.

You would think that a Washington Times writer would know that the Washington, DC basketball team nickname is the Wizards, not the Bullets. That changed how many years ago?

Just thought I'd mention they haven't been called the Washington Bullets for a number of years (see your No. 2 listing).

Best mock draft yet for Cleveland. Though I think it would work better for Cleveland if they draft:
1a. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist SF Kentucky 1b. Terrence Ross SG Washington 2a. Fab Melo C Syracuse 2b. Dreymond Green PF Michigan State Starting for Cleveland: PG: Kyrie Irving PF: Anderson Vareajo PF: Dreymond Green SG: Terrence Ross C: Fab Melo Bench: F: Tristian Thompson

anthony davis is a great defender but limited offensively. when we look back 4 years from now the best player from this draft will be harrison barnes. plays similar to grant hill when he was with the pistons. has great size 6'8 230lbs with the ability to play great on both ends of the court.within 2 to 3 years barnes will be a 24ppg 8rpg 4apg player in the nba and be in multiple all star games.

I think Zeller is a good fit for Milwaukee. Ekpe Udoh and Larry Sanders are both defensive minded centers and Sanders was a shot blocking machine at the end of the year last year. They need a scorer down low and Zeller fits that mold

Best big man since Bill Russell? Better than Wilt Chamberlain? Better than Kareem? Better than Moses Malone? Better than Hakeem? Better than Shaq? Better than David Robinson?
He might be better than Dwight and Bynum, but your calling him the best Center EVER. Get real man
