Ford/Pelton Top 10 Mock Draft: Huh????

[footey]

The lead in said that we picked 4th. Then they have us picking 6th.  Did I misread that, or did they really screw up??

It's such a Ainge move though. All these names available, but go for the guy who's gonna be gritty or whatever. Can we get legit talent at some point? Grit only gets you so far.

This is ridiculous... I like how the Pelicans and Kings randomly jump us which already makes this whole list irrelevant. But say we had 6 and Buddy was there for the taking and we chose this guy... This isn't 16, you don't just screw around in the top 10 (unless you're Cleveland). DA knows that guy would be available later... Just such a poorly conceived list

Best upside pick since Kedrick Brown.

[mmmmm]

Why on earth would Ford publish a mock draft based on team needs...from specific outcomes of the ping-pong balls that are so unlikely to happen? Why not just use the current lottery order?

I mean, I don't care much what Ford thinks anyway, but I care even less about what he thinks would happen in a scenario where the #4, #6 and #7 teams end up #1, #2 and #3. 

It's just weird.

Agreed.  This is article is just bizarre noise.

I like Chriss ... but maybe with our _own_ pick.    Oddly, DraftExpress currently has him ranked right at the Dallas pick (so going to us there) while Tankathon.com has him going at #23, right before our own pick.

Don't see brown dropping to ten... Though others have like Pierce butler and Winslow.

[CFAN38]

I understand the appeal of Chriss and watching him play he has some high end potential but not to a point where he is drafted before Poeltl, Rabb, or Stone

[TheSundanceKid]

Isaiah Thomas has shown signs of that, but at 5-9, he's too small

This was the most insulting part of it. Such ignorance...

[konkmv]

I hope that for once we will get lucky and get a top 3 pick

[slamtheking]

bogus mock.  Brooklyn's tied for the 3rd slot right now and they end up as bad as possible at #6?  no way that happens.

I mean, "no way" is a bit of an exaggeration.  That's a possibility, even if it's relatively small.
