Latest Chad Ford Mock - 3-5-14

[VitorSullyandKOFan]

Stauskas is a good athlete with a good offensive game and is improving on the defensive. I see a starter in Stauskas maybe like Klay Thompson.

Really like Tyler Ennis but don't see him being available in the middle of the first round with our second pick.

If we get a top 3 pick which would be the new face of the franschise, We should try to pull the trigger and trade Rondo to move up and grab Ennis.

I don't get the Ennis love on this board and some of the mocks. All I can attribute it to is Syracuse's early successes.

The guy is 6'2' with shoes (so he's what 6' 1/2" at best?). Not very athletic, not very quick, has difficulty finishing at the rim and averages just over 12 points and under 6 assists and almost 2 turnovers in over 35 minutes per game.

For someone who is supposedly in the top 15 in most mocks, I don't see his value as being that high and wouldn't waste a pick on him even in the top 20.

And to think of trading Rondo to move up for Ennis (who I think is at best a good backup pg in this league)is something I would hope (and think) that Ainge would never consider, unless something big was coming back.

Ennis is big in neither stature nor stats. He doesn't have good lateral quickness, and that combined with his height (or lack thereof)and the zone defensive scheme that he comes from at Syracuse screams defensive liability with not enough on the other side of the ball to make him worth taking even with our second pick, never mind thinking of moving Rondo for him.

I also don't know why everyone likes Ennis

[chambers]

Wow he's got Chris Walker at 20 now.
I wanted him early in the second round by trading our #17 back to #20 +a 2nd rounder to nab him.

Lets just hope Green can keep increasing his value now that he's clicked with Rondo, without winning more games. Keep shooting baby.

Where is Warren?

ford is an idiot. And no thanks to Stauskas. You put a good defender on him and he can't do much

Personally i rather trade the 4th pick down and grab Vonleh and get a higher 2nd 1st and get Harris. Really like Warren or Kj Mcdaniel also

Stauskas is tall, has a quick release and can shoot the lights out.

Im not sure why you're so obsessed with TJ Warren but what position do you expect him to play in the NBA? He's 6'8 and has a 4 man's game.
His shot release is slow and he takes the ball down to his waist before hoisting it up...and you're trying to convince people that Stauskas won't be able to his shot off in the NBA?
Warren's downsides are that he can't keep up with NBA small forwards speed wise but doesn't have the size to bang with NBA power forwards.
What is your obsession with him? This draft is so stacked and you won't shut up about this kid.

I'm with you, 60's.
