I hope the Jazz work Luis Montero out.. An interesting player at the bottom of the 2nd, would've been a nice get for Coach Antigua at USF.

He's got a one of a kind story, his value has been greatly diminished by just turning 22, when you get past that; He looks explosive, has plenty of length, and handles like a guard. shot 44% from 3 (on 3+ attempts per) for Westchester Community College and put up 3 assists per game. check it out.

A quick aside. I've had a good look at Guillermo Hernangomez checking in on Porz the past 2 seasons. I dont see a 1st rounder or even a fringe first rounder, if he developed into an Aron Baynes or Reggie Evans type that'd be a win..

I like your list for the most part. Whoops on the no Kaminsky. Vaughn is a fair bit higher than I'd put him (around 25). End of the second is always tough, just so many alright options that could work in certain situations.

For Montero I could see bringing him in to work out later, but draft pick ehh... He has length but is so light... Don't think he could play anything but the 1/2.

Edit: Just saw Kaminsky at 13, looks good!

Good list.
Man, winslow at 9 is great value. Would love to trade up to 9 and get justice

He will go higher than that, just not higher than Hezonja or Johnson on my list. I dont see his ceiling being much higher than lets say, Andre Iguodala.. Houston Hoops is my favorite AAU squad, I've seen him for quite some time, I believe he's overvalued in a 2013 Trey Burke kinda way. I cant blame him for it, but I'm not gonna turn a blind eye to it.

I wonder what prompted DX to move Kaminsky up to #8. He must have really impressed a few teams in workouts.

Page clicks.

It happens every year, for two to three weeks after the combine the mocks all settle in to more or less sameness. Then for the first part of June the mock draft guys start tweeking their projections to see what would happen if....

Then the week before the draft all the mocks settle back down to sameness again.

Although, of all the mocks, I find DX to be one of the most professional and informed. Unlike others Givony actually meets the players, and is inside some of the workouts.
 
If the current DX mock is what goes down, I'd want to trade down to get Portis or Looney. I'm really not a very big fan of any of the wings there.

Vaughn may continue to climb my rankings, possibly over Devin Booker.. My player Player comparison is JR Smith with a floater.

Montero is definitely a speculative, D-League bound type of pick. Looks like a SG. It's not easy to find guys that size who can dribble, pass and make step-back 3's, To me, it looks like he's got a higher ceiling than many bottom of the 2nd rd guys tho, interesting size/skillset.


Here's the highlights from the Luwawu 25 points (career high) 9/12 shooting including 3/5 of from 3, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 steal playoff game. I can't figure how sites have Tokoto ranked higher.

Bobby Portis going to be better than every PF in the draft (as long as you don't consider Towns a PF).

He hustles, he eats up offensive rebounds, he defends. He reminds me a little of Faried, except that Portis is 3 inches taller and talks like Karl Malone.
