2012 NBA Mock Draft: Round 1
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.

If the Lakers make the playoffs, their pick is no longer lottery protected in which case the cavs would switch their first rd pick from Miami and Phoenix would now own Maimi's pick. If the lakers do not make the playoffs, this scenario is accurate.

The Rockets own the Suns' second-round pick from the Marcus Morris trade. You ought to update your mock with that information.

A PF? The Lakers do not need to draft a PF. They should be trying to draft either a PG, SG, or SF for the bench.

Walts a retard. Know knowledge of any sports simply follows other mocks and switches players around but same position. I should make a dumb Hellen Keller draft like this and get all your guys support.

CJ McCollum is an underrated scorer and will put up 23 points and 5.5 assist
Kinda reminds me of Stephan Curry but creates more off the dribble and less range

If Marcus smart falls to cleveland then it would give cleveland a second point guard to run the offense allowing kyrie to play more SG and adding youth and immediate change to a team with lots of potential

It shoudnt be weird to ser Zeller get dissed for being a "12.pt, 7 RBD" player..because a lot of people think there are more guys averaging big numbers than there actually are,
48 players average 7 boards. 104 average 12 points. So if you're saying a guy shouldn't go high because he'd be 12-7, that's debatable. I'm not a Zeller supporter.. Just always think it's hilarious how people throw around "20/10 guy" and stuff when there is only 1-3 legit 20/10 guys a year the past few seasons. Bigs play shorter minutes as teams develop specialists and go small more often and whatnot Also crazy- saying the Cavs shouldn't draft a backup PG because they have Livingston. C'mon man. You need a better backup than that. One who is a reliable shooter at least. I love Livingston, but u don't pass up a legit backup to your oft injured star for him. |
