Your NBA 2016 Mock Draft 1- 15

[hateraid]

1- Philadelphia: Ben Simmons
No surprise. Next

2- LA Lakers: Brandon Ingram
Again, no surprise. Next

3- Boston: Jaylen Brown
I'm going out on a limb here and saying Brown. He's having great workouts and showing a higher ceiling than the big 3 PG. But I predict this will be traded draft day

4- Phoenix: Jamal Murray
Combo gaurd who won't mess that rotation

5- Minnesota: Kris Dunn
Minnesota wants a gaurd who can create

6- New Orleans: Buddy Hield
He'll get lots of chances to play and can play like Evans, Gordon, and Holiday combined

7- Denver: Dragan Bender
They need shooters. He's a good shooter

8- Sacremento: Skal Labassiere
High Risk. High reward. Can be a good high low with Cousins

9- Toronto: Domantas Sabonis
Bismack on the way out. They need an interior presence, but versatile enough to stretch floor

10- Milwaukee: Marquese Chriss
Jason Kidd likes transition. This guy flies

11- Orlando: Deyonta Davis
They need rebounding. Best rebounder available. Tough guy inside

12- Atlanta: Dejounte Murray
Teague replacement who plays like Teague

13- Phoenix: Jakob Peoltl
Alex Len too inconsistent

14- Chicago: Malik Beasley
Potent perimeter defense with Butler and adds shooting

15- Denver: Furkan Korkmaz
Need scoring. He can score

Post your mock draft

[Milbuck]

Bucks need to take Davis. 6'11" 7'3" wingspan, athletic as hell, great finisher, rebounder, rim protector/paint defense anchor. Much like a lot of Kentucky prospects has more range than he showed in college, projects to stretch out to midrange, potentially 3PT down the road. Pretty much the perfect fit at C here.

Who I like in order right now, constantly changing

1. Simmons
2. Ingram
3. Bender
4. Dunn
5. Murray
6. Hield
7. Davis
8. Skal
9. Poeltl
10. Chriss
11. Korkmaz
12. Luwawu
13. Baldwin
14. Sabonis

Where's Jaylen?

Chriss would be a force on the break with Giannis and adds a shooter immediately. Something that the Bucks need to stretch the floor. I see you have Chriss in that spot too

Draft in less than 24 hours and I'm the only one who made a mock draft?

[Run&Gun=Fun]

The Suns will take Bender if he's there IMO. Word is Sixers want Dunn so possible trade with Boston and he will go at #3

Philly isn't going to deal one of their bigs to Boston. Dunn is not worth Okafor or Noel. Sixers are about the BPA. 3-6 is really unclear. I can see more of a deal to unite Noel and Davis and draft Skal Labassiere

[Fudge]

Sabonia should be much higher.

As in like, top 3. He'll easily be the best big man in the draft.

G - Isaiah Thomas
G - Avery Bradley
F - Jae Crowder
F - Jared Sullinger
C - Domantas Sabonis

What he showed in the tournament was unreal. His defense, mobility/quickness is ELITE for a big man. Can play both big positions. And his post game is polished for his age.

Picks 10-24, throw a blanket over them i think there will be plenty of surprises

Is Bender that good? How does he compare to Porzingis

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

why are multiple ppl thinking Kings will pick Labissiere? Kings are retarded, but not THAT retarded. They have 3 C's - Cousins, Koufos, and WCS. In those 2 scenarios above, they probably go UW Murray or Baldwin to fill the PG spot. Or get Chriss just cuz he's a hometown boy (again, don't need bigs, but at least he's more of a true PF).

Yeah, I was thinking Sabonis could be reached for at #3. I love teams w/ multiple 1st rnders. Especially when teams are already good like Boston. I can easily see them get some sort of combo of:
Sabonis/Dunn/Bender/Chriss/Jaylen Brown
Labissiere/Deyonte/Malachi/Chieck/Denzel/Timothe/Yabusele/Brice Johnson

1 dude from top and 2 dudes from bottom rows? And that returning roster? In Stevens I trust.

hes got elite, absolutely amazing athleticism for a 7 footer with a decent shooting touch to match. He's very thin but apparently isn't shy about banging into bigger bodies.

It's hit or miss with the 7 foot euros, you might get a KP/dirk or you might get a Darko/Vesely/Bargnani I don't think there's a lot between them when they're 18 yo. Development, assimilation and the players determination dictate their success.

Top 5 seems a reach but I've heard Suns will take him if Boston don't.

I don't think he's got near the athleticism or shooting touch of Porzingis. But he is the prototypical Euro.

This kind of exposes the weakness and depth of the draft in terms of bigs. The best front court players look to be drafted in the 8-20. Boston and Phoenix would do better service to move their guards and draft lower. Unless risk those picks on guys like Sabonis, Davis, or Labassiere. The BPA doesn't really work out as a good strategy in this draft.

They pick Labassiere in that position due to having the highest ceiling. Also because he's not your typical post player. He can stretch the floor and transition. Chriss may be the better athlete, Skal has the higher ceiling and all round better game.

Post your mock draft

Tough spot for Boston. Do they go with the best player available or do they pick a player they need to plug a hole. I thought they would have picked Dragan Bender with the third. The rest of your draft I like.
