Man this mock draft has been on point.

Only missed on bamba young swap.

Yeah, they've been spot on. Pretty much the best predictions I've seen. Its eerie.

According to nbadraft.net, we're selecting Okogie at #27. They've been ~90% accurate so far (12/13), so.....

Yuck, really don't like that pick.

Basically replaced Woj's spot at Yahoo. Really good.

  • Rondo doesn't believe in easy buckets...
The east needs Porter bang/bust potential and all West has taken too much talent.

Can't imagine Porter gets past LAC or DEN at 13 or 14, but if he does at what point does Danny see some value there and try and nab him, especially given that we can give him all the time in the world to heal and recover?

Clearly none of the core players or the better picks (SAC, MEM) would be up for grabs, but the LAC pick and our own picks could be in play.

You wouldn't trade the Sac pick straight up for the chance to draft Porter?  How confident are you that the Sac pick will yield a player better than him?  I think a player of Porter's ability healthy is better than the best case scenario for the Sac pick.

Probably not with his injury concerns. Given his talent level and potential (probably has the highest ceiling in the draft), those injury concerns must be severe if he is falling this far.

I think a lot of teams want a rookie to start getting some minutes now.  Celts are a team that wouldn't be afraid to sit him out the whole rookie season to get healthy.

Agreed. But I still think that Sac pick has significant appeal.
