My Dad's 3rd and Final Mock Draft for 2011

[hardlyyardley]

Yes they do and that's where they're listed.....look at 6/10 picks....what you see is three sets of mocks.....preseason, midseason and now

This thread's too unwieldy to go back a page on, but I could have sworn I saw them listed at #26 and #56.

Spreadsheet is an easier view

Now we're picking a couple of guys from Purdue?  Very unusual.  Can't say I'm feeling great about that since I tend to see Big 10 players become very underwhelming in the NBA.

thanks for the mock!  A few random thoughts on your mock:

1.  I think Irving will go first, but there are big rumblings, so 3rd is certainly possible. (partly going to depend teams' ability/energy to orchestrate trades.)  There are going to be 2 or 3 very good PG's in next year's lottery, where the Cavs will find themselves again, so they could postpone adding a PG until next year, though I wouldn't reccomend it since the non-PG's in next year's lottery look like bigger studs, except possibly Kabongo but I don't know enough about him.....Kanter and Irving have had serious injuries, Williams not, so I could see that leading to a pick of Williams at number 1. 

Curious if you have Williams at #1 as A: best prospect, B: best way to combine picks 1 and 4, or C:  best prospect with health considerations of top prospects.  (with no health considerations I'd take Irving or Kanter #1).

If I were Cleveland and took Williams over Irving, then I might give up on PG altogether for this draft, ride with Baron and Sessions, and take a big at number 4--Kanter or Valuncianus or Moteijunas or even Vesely. 

Could the Dirk Nowitzki effect help Monteijunas?  Could it also push Davis Bertans into the first round?

I do think you're on to something with Brooks to Washington.  He'll do well getting feeds from Wall.  What concerns me with that is a bad influence from Blatche. 

[jgod213]

unless there's been a ton of posturing by CLE i can't imagine Irving going anything but 1.  Basically all reports that are out there speak of how the entire orginization is smitten with him.  Very interesting stuff - does your old man have the inside scoop here?


as far as e'twuan moore is concerned i love that projection.  In the other draft thread i posted that, although i like johnsons game, i didnt think moore was getting the attention he deserves. I don't know how i feel about selecting a pair of teammates but i certainly do like the talent in both picks.

my predicted lottery:

Cavs:  Irving                   best available
Wolf:   Kanter                 need and impact
Jazz:   Williams              lucky no brainer at 3
Cavs:  Valunciunas       solid
Raps:  Vesely                 very Toronto and possibly very good.  offense galore?
Wiz:    Biyombo              best specialist in league eventually?
King:  Knight                  nice pickup at 7
Pist:    Walker                  nice pickup at 8
Cats:  Marc. Morris        solid
Buck:  T. Thompson      size and potential
War:   Burks                     Nice pairing for Curry if Monta's gone
Jazz:  Fredette                 points, backup point and ticket sales
Suns: K. Thompson        best shooter in draft at 13?
Rock: J. Hamilton            local and good all around
