2009 NBA Mock Re-Draft
Updated: May 3, 2013.

Team needs and outstanding trades have been taken into account with this mock draft.

  1. Boston Celtics: Kelly Olynyk, 7-0, C, Gonzaga, Jr.
    The Celtics could use a big man inside and the "Dazed and Confused" looking big man made huge strides with his game this year. He is a skilled, but not very physical, seven-footer.


  2. Atlanta Hawks: Mason Plumlee, PF, Duke, 6-10, Sr.
    The Hawks will be going through a roster transition this offseason and will likely take the best available player at this option.


  3. Atlanta Hawks: Tony Mitchell, SF, North Texas, 6-8, So.
    With Josh Smith likely leaving via free agency, the Hawks could use an athletic forward which Tony Mitchell certainly is.

    Atlanta owns the Rockets' pick (via Brooklyn/Terrence Williams trade) from the Joe Johnson trade. Go here to see all of the outstanding 2013 NBA Draft Trades.




  4. Cleveland Cavaliers: Dennis Schroeder, PG, Germany, 6-2, 1993
    Backcourt depth is still an area of need for the Cavaliers. Dennis Schroeder really turned heads at the Nike Hoops Summit, emerging as a first-round prospect.

    Cleveland owns the Lakers' pick (via the Miami/LeBron James trade.) Go here to see all of the outstanding 2013 NBA Draft Trades.


  5. Chicago Bulls: Jeff Withey, C, Kansas, 7-0, Sr.
    I think the Bulls either look for a shooting guard or depth inside, and take the best available of those options. Jeff Withey is a great shot blocker and Chicago loves defensive-minded players. He could help replace what the Bulls lost in Omer Asik last offseason.


  6. Utah Jazz: Gorgui Dieng, C, Louisville, 6-11, Jr.
    With Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap free agents, the Jazz need some options up front. Gorgui Dieng is a terrific shot blocker and has a developing mid-range game as well.

    Utah owns the Warriors' pick (via the Brooklyn/Marcus Williams trade) from the Deron Williams trade. Go here to see all of the outstanding 2013 NBA Draft Trades.


  7. Brooklyn Nets: Sergey Karasev, SF, Russia, 6-7, 1993
    The Nets need depth all across the board and will look at the best available player. Sergey Karasev is a crafty scorer who can really shoot it from distance.




  8. Indiana Pacers: Allen Crabbe, SG, California, 6-6, Jr.
    Drafting a power forward makes sense since David West is in the final year of his deal, but with no four worth taking at this point, a wing could be an option in case Indiana decides to move Danny Granger.


  9. New York Knicks: Mouhammadu Jaiteh, PF/C, France, 6-11, 1994
    Depth inside or a wing would be the best option here, and though Mouhammadu Jaiteh is a project big man, he's worth taking at this point.


  10. Los Angeles Clippers: Steven Adams, C, Pittsburgh, 7-0, Fr.
    The Clippers lack any real depth depth inside. Steven Adams has the ideal size for a NBA big, but still needs time to develop before he'll be ready to be a real contributor.


  11. Minnesota Timberwolves: Lucas Noguiera, C, Brazil, 7-0, 1992
    Having gone with a wing in the lottery, the Timberwolves turn their attention to adding some size inside. Lucas Noguiera has been on scouts' radars for quite some time due to his size and athleticism.

    Minnesota owns the Grizzlies' first-round pick (via the Rockets/Shane Battier trade) from the Donatas Motiejunas trade. Go here to see all of the outstanding 2013 NBA Draft Trades.




  12. Denver Nuggets: Jamaal Franklin, SG, San Diego State, 6-5, Jr.
    With Andre Iguodala holding a player option on his contract and Corey Brewer a free agent, the versatile Jamaal Franklin provides insurance on the wing.


  13. San Antonio Spurs: Reggie Bullock, G/F, North Carolina, 6-7, Jr.
    The Spurs could use depth on the wing or inside. Reggie Bullock has great size for his position and can stroke the rock.


  14. Oklahoma City Thunder: Archie Goodwin, SG, Kentucky, 6-4, Fr.
    Archie Goodwin would add insurance on the wing if Kevin Martin leaves via free agency.


  15. Phoenix Suns: Ricky Ledo, G/F, Providence, 6-7, Fr.
    The Suns add another wing player with plenty of potential. Because he was ineligible, Ricky Ledo didn't play a single game for the Friars this season, but he is athletic and has great size for his position.

    Phoenix owns the Heat's pick (via Lakers/Steve Nash trade.) Go here to see all of the outstanding 2013 NBA Draft Trades.

Why don't they just say pelicans, and use the new logo? If your talking about the past, u can call them the hornets, but anything in the present or future is the pelicans.

I can see cleveland trading down biggest need is small forward and depth on the bench.
And this draft seems to be big on bench players.
Trade down and pick up one of the many small fowards and pick up a extra pick next year.
Look to getting a free Agent to help and work toward .500 next year.

In terms of your comment with the Pistons. You don't build depth when you have need of starters. Besides Len is going to bust. Waste. But I don't mind Shabezz

Does anyone even proofread this?

To add to the notes about Len and the Pelicans, the Kings finished with 28 wins, the Pistons with 29.

The description for the Wizards pick is about Glenn Robinson, but the pick is Alex Len.
