Using who is available at each pick from the draft express mock (so no Ingram or Simmons at 3 or Skal at 16) what would your draft look like? http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-mock-draft/2016/

Here's mine:

3: Dragan Bender, PF, Maccabi Tel Aviv
16: Furkan Korkmaz, SG, Anadolu Efes
23: Ante Zizic, C, Cibona Zagreb
31: Isaia Cordinier, SG, Denain
35: Thon Maker, PF/C, High School
45: Nigel Hayes, SF, Wisconsin
51: Aleksander Vezenkov, SF, Barcelona
58: Kay Felder, PG, Oakland

We're most likely getting the 5th pick.

We're getting kind a lot of these "post your mock" threads.  Maybe consolidate?


I think I'd go Bender, Murray, or Hield at 3-5 -- depending on workouts / in depth scouting -- Sabonis, Criss, Luwawu, or Prince at 16, and then go with foreign PF/Cs with stretch potential the rest of the way.  Maybe take a flier on Diallo or LaVert in the second round.

Love these picks. TP. Bender is the correct pick for us at 3. Korkmaz is just what we need at 16, and Zizic is a great stash at 23 - his stats compare with Nurkic and Jokic. I hope that we get Prince in that slot though.

I wouldn't mind those picks. I'm just stuck at 16, between Valentine, Korkmaz, and Sabonis.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

3. Murray/Hield
16. Valentine/Korkmaz/Sabonis
23. Zizic
31. Murray (Dejounte, not Jamal)
35. Hammonds/Maker
45. Uthoff
51. Bentil
58. Zagorac

Based on a very quick skim of the DX page. Could change these later when I have more time.

Yes, but there is a 70% chance we pick higher than that.

1: 15.6
2: 15.7
3: 15.6
4: 22.5
5: 26.5
6: 04.1

These odds have been thrown around a lot, but it cant hurt to show em again. I think you both knew em too it just comes down to semantics.

After the draft lottery I will be more sure but I'll list the best available in order here

Brooklyn pick: Simmons, Ingram, Bender, Murray, Hield

Mavs pick: Davis, Skal, Chriss, Rabb, Sabonis, Valentine

C's pick: Jeanne

Sixers pick: Zubac, Zizic, Cornelie

So basically, best available shooter or big with the first two picks and best available euro with the remaining picks.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

I'll tell you what. Just the fact that this is feasible is fantastic.

 Jamal Murray
 Sabonis
 Diamond Stone
 
 Any Combo of Hield/Sabonis Or Murray Sabonis and I'm happy, Stone that late would be great.

I didn't think it possible to be more upset with the Celtics draft than I was last summer, but if we take Bender I will be. He has bust written all over him.
Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."

I won't make particular picks, but I hope for shooting and inside presence to be our focus.
