On one hand it is really embarassing that Blakley keeps making mistakes on his mock. However, I view him as more of a talking head who says inflamatory stuff to cause discussion than a writer with actual knowledge.

Shouldn't he have an editor to catch this stuff?
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon

Looks like ol' Sherrod went back and tried to pull a Chad Ford by correcting Mudiay's 'school' ::) and Trey, instead of Tyler, Lyles, but he still didn't notice the Jordan Mackey error?  Ahaha ;D. And he would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for us meddling kids, lol ;D.

fixing errors is not the same as editing past drafts to deceive people about your talent scouting acumen.

At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

I would LOVE it if the Lakers took Stanley Johnson #4 overall, passing on Winslow, but I don't think even they are that dumb...

I think you guys will get a good laugh out of this.  Even for him, this is atrocious.  My personal favorites are his writing that Mudiay went to Kentucky ::) ;D, it's Tyler Lyles, not Trey ;D,

No, it's Trey.

Mock Drafts in general are funny though. Anyone can make them and virtually no one has any idea who will really be picked in what position until draft night. I can't waste my time with Mock Drafts moving forward until Draft Night with all the trades that will go down thus making work like Blakely's kind of useless.
Long-form is far from dead, but please refrain from paragraph-laden posts! Who wants to read that?!

Lol he knows it's Trey, Blakely didn't.


They are called mock for a reason. Doesn't require any skill at all. He made mistakes and fixed them, let 'em gooooooo.

How does Blakely keep his job?

He is Ainge's smokescreen?  I have never seen a less informed insider.
or outsider for that matter

Okay, for some reason I can't see the comments under his 'mock 3.0' ::) at the moment, so you'll have to investigate for yourself, but still, this just keeps getting better, lol ;D. Apparently, not only he just flat out forget Kelly Oubre, but he still listed Jordan Mackey, ahaha ;D. Upon correcting his mistakes, however, Sherrod opted to not list Mackey ;) ::) ;D at all, haha ;D. Wow.

Here's the link to the article - http://www.csnne.com/boston-celtics/blakelys-nba-mock-draft-30-lottery-set

and I decided to make a meme with the photo below, but since I can't upload it on here, above his head I wrote, "A. Sherrod Blakely Be Like," followed by this under the microphone, "Jordan Mackey." ;D



Unbelievable.  This guy puts the mock in mock draft, lol ;D.

Right, except that both guys are still attempting to correct their screw ups after their pieces have been published, and besides, in Sherrod's case, is that not what editors and rough drafts are for?  Blakely would be outstanding for the Daily Mail, lol ;D.

He has the potential to be as great as Willie Maye was during his tenure.
