Wecome to Colton's Mock Draft Compilation, v. 1.0. I'll try to update this every so often. Here are who the mock drafts are listing as the "best players". See below for details. It should give a pretty good idea of who will be available when the Jazz pick.

1 Kyrie Irving
2 Derrick Williams
3 Enes Kanter
4 Jan Vesely
5 Kemba Walker
6 Brandon Knight
7 Jonas Valanciunas
8 Bismack Biyombo
9 Alec Burks
10 Donatas Motiejunas
11 Kawhi Leonard
12 Jordan Hamilton
12 Tristan Thompson
14 Marcus Morris
15 Jimmer Fredette
16 Markieff Morris
17 Chris Singleton
18 Tobias Harris
19 Kenneth Faried
20 Klay Thompson
21 Tyler Honeycutt
22 Trey Thompkins
23 Reggie Jackson
24 Jordan Williams
25 Nolan Smith
26 Darius Morris
27 Nikola Mirotic
28 JaJuan Johnson
29 Kyle Singler
30 Travis Leslie


Ranking details: I used the 16 most up-to-date mock drafts I could find as "voters" for the best players. That is, I assumed they ranked the players in the order that they felt like the players deserved to be drafted. (This is an incorrect assumption, because some mock drafts account for perceived team need, but it should be close.) Then I used the "instant run-off voting" algorithm in a program I wrote to deduce who deserved to be ranked in the top spot, then in the second spot, then in the third spot, and so forth. See here for details on that algorithm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting

If you have suggestions for mock drafts I should add to the list, or ones I should take off, please let me know.
 
Thank you for doing that.

Just one thing - what's your thoughts on Jan Vesely's draft stock given his contract situation? Seems most mock drafts do not mention this as an issue for teams picking him early in the lottery.

What's your take?

I'm by no means an expert on the players yet, I just crunched the numbers. But from what little I know, I'd be wary. I'd rather have the Jazz pick someone else with the #6 pick if by chance Vesely is still available.
 
colton you should include ESPN's Chad Ford's NBA Insider mock draft, I have an ESPN Insider subscription if you want me to message it to you.
 
Thanks Colton. I have been looking at every mock I can find lately. And they are all so different. You putting that all together really sheds some light on were this draft could be headed. If the draft did come out like that and we got Knight and Hamilton I would be pretty happy with our Draft.

EL OH EL

A private message probably would be a better method to use to present this type of offer going forward. It's a nice offer though!

I tend to agree with Colton on Kawhi Leonard and Jordan Hamilton - both of them have length and athletic ability. A lot of people have them on the lottery bubble for some reason; but I think once these guys get in-house and work out for teams they'll bump up the charts.

Yes, I think it's messed up, too. But the description is interesting:

For those unfamiliar with Drafttek's computer model, DRAFTSIM was developed for the NFL draft about 7 years ago. The model identifies the draft needs at each position for all 32 teams, then matches needs up against the pool of available players. The concept of "Reach" and "Value" are central - teams with a major need at a certain position will reach farther, perhaps selecting a player in the first round who, by all accounts does not rate a 1st round grade. In 2009, the DRAFTSIM model was retooled for NBA draft usage.

I think they've obviously placed too much weight on position need, and haven't taken into account that in the NBA much more than in the NFL teams generally take BPA.

I like it. Not because I think it predicts what will happen but because it reveals the Jazz's (and other teams) biggest trouble. They need help at sf/sg in a draft that has euro bigs and american pgs. The jazz are not alone, look at the projected draft order compared to player rankings. Does Minny or Washington really need another pg? or does Toronto need another Euro big?

I think the lottery could help shake some things up, but even after that I expect this draft to have lots of trades and manuevering.
 
Jimmer to the Knicks would be incredible. He'd fit pretty well in their system. Melo and Amare should create a lot of open looks for the Jimmer.
