2010 Mock

1. Wizards - John Wall

2. 76ers - Evan Turner

3. Nets - Derrick Favors

4. Wolves - DeMarcus Cousins
** Why Cousins? All we've heard about is Turner, Wesley Johnson and Derrick Favors!! Exactly. My conspiracy theory is that Kahn orchestrated Cousins blowing off the Wolves workout as a smokescreen to cover up an internal promise **

5. Kings - Wesley Johnson

6. Warriors - Greg Monroe
** Honestly I don't know why I keep projecting bigs to GSW. They'd probably rather have Wes Johnson or Al-Farouq Aminu but Monroe is my guess **

7. Pistons - Ekpe Udoh
** They need a big and quite honestly Cole Aldrich seems a more natural fit as a defensive presence but 7 is probably just a little high of a reach. I also like Luke Babbitt here **

8. Clippers - Paul George
** They have enough bigs, and I like them all, so its time to add a true SF to fill the spot vacated by Al Thornton. Travis Outlaw may be a long term piece and they could also look at Xavier Henry**

9. Jazz - Luke Babbitt

10. Pacers - Al-Farouq Aminu
** They desperately want a point guard but none are to be found at this spot in the draft. Time to take best player available **

11. Hornets - Cole Aldrich
** I'd expect Okafor to get moved eventually as a cost saving maneuver. Ed Davis is another possibility here **

12. Grizzlies - Xavier Henry
** In case Rudy Gay moves on or they look to play OJ Mayo at PG more often a swing man capable of playing both of those spots is a solid option on the pleasantly improving Griz roster **

13. Raptors - Ed Davis
** If Davis is here they can play Davis at PF for Chris Bosh if he so chooses to leave **

14. Rockets - Larry Sanders
** The center spot might be their weakest spot with the injury prone Yao. **

15. Bucks - Patrick Patterson
** It was rumored they wanted Sanders, but Patterson seems like a Skiles guy ... **

16. Wolves - Gordon Hayward
** Really at this point its a toss up who's here and if the Wolves even keep the pick. I like a guy who can play multiple positions, really shoot the ball, create, and sort of fill that Lamar Odom spot in the triangle. Still depending on what they do with their first pick they could also go with Hassan Whiteside **

I can't wait to see just how wrong I was!

I agree for the most part! i wouldnt be surprised if detroit moved on the big white guy from minnesota. i do see george going before Henry (wouldnt that be awesome if one of them fell to the sixteen)

Also interesting is that you see whiteside slipping
