Title: Mock Draft - Tuesday Version Post by: GoldenStateGM on March 22, 2005, 10:02:48 AM Now that I am draftpick-less, I do not have to lie at all.. lol
With all the crazy trades, I figured another mock before the draft might be good. 1. Atlanta Hawks - Tanner Houbreg - locked in 2. New Jersey Nets - Garrert Pettit - locked in 3. Detroit Pistons - Oscar Ferry - locked in 4. Chicago Bulls - Emmanual Griffin - first pick not locked in. Slight chance they will go for a PG here, but will likely wait for the 8th pick in the PG rich draft. 5. Indiana Pacers - Lorenzo Ellis - biggest wildcard of the draft right now. Team needs at PG, SG, and C, in that order. BPA is either Ellis or Diddle... 6. Toronto Raptors - Mason Mercer - Team with no significant holes and championship aspirations. Big free agaents for next year are Finley and Cassell, and the BPA are Diddle and Schenk/Mercer. Mercer gives them the top PG combo in the league this year. Diddle a huge possibility here. 7. San Antonio Spurs - Alvin Schenk. Teams needs inside scoring at PF/C, and a PG. With no good scoring bigs left, they go for the PG. 8. Chicago Bulls - Bob Diddle - First team to get royally screwed. They needed a PG, and the top 3 went in the 3 picks before their pick. Hoping the Raptors take Diddle. Also, Diddle is BPA at this spot. Look for a trade??? Barry can play PG in pinch (B- handle), and they may shoot for a PG in free agency. Also remember... Meyers has a C+ handle.. can he move to the point??? 9. Cleveland Cavaliers - Jamal Del Negro - the next team to get screwed in the PG search. Need a PG with a handle. Also could use a C, and back-ups at every position. Also known to want to move Carmello. Will most liekly look to improve the PG spot through free agency. Jamal is BPA here. 10. Detroit Pistons - Phillip Meyers - big need at SG, and the BPA is a SG. Good outside, bad befense, but A potential. 11. Memphis Grizzlies - Ladon Curry - Needs at C and shooting guard, and no good C's are available... Curry already a good outside shooter, but little potential. 12. New York Knicks - Ethan Terpening - need offense from the PF spot, and need a SF to back-up/replace Tim Thomas. Strickland is also a possibility here. Terpening's (B- inside) in a SF gives him the nod. 13. Denver Nuggets - Jeremiah Kieta - SF and PG are needs here, and there is no cap space to fill the positions this year. Andre Miller is the best free agent PG available, and will get some big offers, a question if the Nuggets will match or not. Tough decision for them here... Going with the only PG left with potential and above a C handle. Other draft pundits do not seem to be fans of his... Mikel Chamberlain a good possibility here as well.

Good point... Right now, 2006 is the year of the PG.. lots of good ones available in the draft and in free agency... And a lot of teams are in need... Title: Mock Draft - Tuesday Version Post by: HawksGM on March 22, 2005, 01:12:59 PM including me..but I have no picks besides Tanner, and no FA money, MLE might get me a decent PG though
Title: Mock Draft - Tuesday Version Post by: GoldenStateGM on March 22, 2005, 01:16:09 PM TJ Ford is not a bad stopgap player... B handle, and 5 assists in 24 mpg... that is very impressive.

B handle, and 5 assists in 24 mpg... that is very impressive. yea, I think I hurt my opinion of him in my efforts to tank this year...w/a full-time starting job he might be around 7/8/2 per game Title: Mock Draft - Tuesday Version Post by: GoldenStateGM on March 22, 2005, 01:36:09 PM He will not score for you, but he will rack up the assists... And with Tanner and Swift, he just needs to be able to feed then the ball... I actually think he will do pretty well for you, especially if he improves at all..
Title: Mock Draft - Tuesday Version Post by: CavsGM on March 22, 2005, 03:03:50 PM Sadly, this is how the draft might turn out...
Title: Mock Draft - Tuesday Version Post by: GoldenStateGM on March 22, 2005, 03:30:26 PM Quote from: CavsGM Sadly, this is how the draft might turn out... But I am sure evrryone wants to play with Lebron :wink: The free agents will flock to your door. Title: Mock Draft - Tuesday Version Post by: RaptorsGM on March 22, 2005, 04:13:27 PM I think you're bang on with the 6th pick.
Diddle is a big possibilty at 6, but so is a PG.

My predictive skills are on target today... lol Title: Mock Draft - Tuesday Version Post by: RaptorsGM on March 22, 2005, 04:17:08 PM I'm just going with BPA, I think.
We'll see...todays the day for the first 5 picks. Title: Mock Draft - Tuesday Version Post by: BullsGM-old on March 22, 2005, 05:03:36 PM A week ago if you told me that I would regret having to draft Diddle, I would have virtual slapped you. But I need a PG, Diddle is no slouch but I would still have alot of work to do with my roster

And it would have been a well deserved virtual slap too ;) Title: Mock Draft - Tuesday Version Post by: RaptorsGM on March 22, 2005, 05:24:28 PM Man, Diddle is a great player, but he will likely fall to 7th, maybe even 8th or 9th...
Title: Mock Draft - Tuesday Version Post by: RaptorsGM on March 22, 2005, 05:32:05 PM Well, I hope everyone got their draft sheets in. Don't want anyone having to have the computer pick for thwem :(
Title: Mock Draft - Tuesday Version Post by: CavsGM on March 22, 2005, 05:56:00 PM Quote from: RaptorsGM Well, I hope everyone got their draft sheets in. Don't want anyone having to have the computer pick for thwem :( That would really suck. Like the Hawks would forget to send in his pick. I can see it now... With the first pick in the 2006 SSBA draft, Atlanta selects Stephan Fox. Title: Mock Draft - Tuesday Version Post by: RaptorsGM on March 22, 2005, 06:06:00 PM I'm sure the Hawks aint tat stupid. I just hope the Pacers got theirs in, them being new and all.
Title: Mock Draft - Tuesday Version Post by: LakersGM-old on March 22, 2005, 06:37:54 PM my list isnt due till the 26th.
Title: Mock Draft - Tuesday Version Post by: RaptorsGM on March 22, 2005, 06:53:07 PM Yeah, it's only the top 5 picks that go tonight.
Title: Mock Draft - Tuesday Version Post by: CavsGM on March 22, 2005, 07:19:17 PM The tension is building...
Title: Mock Draft - Tuesday Version Post by: RaptorsGM on March 23, 2005, 07:12:47 AM So much for Diddle falling - he went 5th :)
