ESPN NBA Mock Draft

[Ashyneezz]

First time the Mavs suck in years and the draft is as weak as it can be

Chad's mock is laughable. Some of his reasoning is hilarious.

Detroit he claims needs a SF. That's true. So why draft a someone who doesn't profile to be an NBA SF? Oladipo's too small to play the bulk of his minutes there. If you wanna say they should replace Stuckey at SG, fine, but if they're gonna do that, Kyle Singler to SF makes more sense than Oladipo at SF. In reality, Oladipo is a college SF since his handles aren't great, but if he's a SF full-time, he'll get knocked around.

I've watched every minute of Noel this year and he is a great kid, but he needs to go 4 or 5... His knees are shaky... there was a thread bout Noel being the #1 pick on Ford's board in the end of January and I said the thing that scared me bout Noel was his knees... He has such skinny legs its noticeable, if you go back and watch the tape there was at least 5 times in the 23 0r 24 games he played where he came down and was unable to land cleanly... I think he has a better chance to survive than Oden, but there is a ton of risk in taking him 1 or 2.

Noel is a rich mans Tyson Chandler if he reaches his potential... He is right now though a 5 who is way too thin, no post game, and who's entire game is based on athleticism... I know that there are no all star level players in this class but I would be worried taking Noel first

man I get depressed seeing all the guys leaving that aren't going to be 1st round picks...Russ Smith would have barely been a 2nd round pick last year, now he will be a 1st round. these kids get awful advice

Im suprised that Tim Hardaway isnt in this mock but i thinnk he will be a definite 1st round pick by time the draft rolls around. But this is probably gonna be one of the most unpredictable drafts ever. I could see mid or late first round pick being as good or better than a top five pick easily.
