Following potential 2015 draftees

[Elizah Huge]

Here is my mock draft with trades included while looking outside the box, fwiw:

1. Minnesota Timberwolves - Karl-Anthony Towns
2. Los Angeles Lakers - Jahlil Okafor
3. Philadelphia 76ers - D'Angelo Russell
4. New York Knicks - Justise Winslow
5. Orlando Magic - Kristaps Porzingis
6. Sacramento Kings - Emmanuel Mudiay
7. Denver Nuggets - Mario Hezonja
8. Detroit Pistons - Devin Booker
9. Charlotte Hornets - Willie Cauley-Stein*
10. Miami Heat - Stanley Johnson
11. Indiana Pacers - Cameron Payne
12. Utah Jazz - Myles Turner
13. Phoenix Suns - Frank Kaminsky
14. Oklahoma City Thunder - Rondae Hollis-Jefferson
15. Atlanta Hawks - Kelly Oubre
16. Boston Celtics - R.J. Hunter*

*Boston trades #16, #28, and a 2016 first round pick (via Dallas) to Charlotte for #9.

Call me crazy for putting Winslow at #4 or Booker at #8 or Hollis-Jefferson at #14, but crazy stuff happens on draft day and nothing goes as planned. I'm pretty sure there is going to be at least one or two trades involving the lottery picks. Dekker, Lyles, Portis, and Looney would all go somewhere between 17 and 22, I think, in this situation.

Sorry but all your names you say these teams makes it hard to even take serious. Why you do that anyway. But you are so smart mostly.

actually I left of wcs and he would go to the pacers.

I changed the names cause I was bored.

Good for you not going with the consensus. I agree with most of this, I'm higher on Mudiay than most (suggested trading up for him). I'm not sure about your rankings of Okafor, Kaminsky, and Porzingis, but that's why their your rankings and not mine.

That's fine with me. Problem is, I think Indy would take Turner at 11. Curse of the coin flip, eh? Still glad Cotton went off in a meaningless game?

I think they could go many ways. Payne, WCS (if he falls), Kaminsky. It seems like Turner hasn't moved up all that much.

@stevekylerNBA: Hearing Devin Booker's floor maybe #9 to Charlotte... and Stanley Johnson floor is #10 to Miami.



Interesting .

It's one of the easier fits to predict. Third worst offense in the league last year, and the worst three point shooting team at 31.8%.
Unless he completely bombed his workout, Charlotte seems like a home for Booker.

Porz could easily be the best player in this draft.

No.

I'm following your Mario logic but Towns will be the best player from this draft.

I'd throw Favors and multiple first rounders (like 4 or 5 of them) for Towns. Too bad Minny says no each time.

(A few) Charlotte fans would trade 9 for 12 and a future pick from the Jazz if Hezonja is gone by 9.

If Mario is gone by 9 then why would you want to trade up?

To get whomever the Jazz prefer among Turner, Johnson and Oubre. Two of those might go 10 and 11.

Yeah, and the Jazz have assets they can/should spend. 'cause we don't need a bunch more rookies on this team.

Yeah I say add the one rookie the Jazz really like and then grow the team.
