    Wow, gotta like that as a raptor fan
    Lowry, Bayless Forbes
    Derozen, Lamb, Forbes
    Iggy, JJ, Kleiza
    Bargs, Amir jj, Kleiza
    Val, Amir Rookie Center #16

    That team is deadly. Not sure there is any way that is going to happen, as Philadelphia is not going to take Calderon for Iggy. The bench would be amazing in this scenario. If we gave Philie the number #16 pick with Calderon and Forbes, then maybe we could get Iggy. Not sure Lamb will fall to 14, but that would be a great scenario for the raps!! A nice wing rotation with Derozen, iggy and Lamb. Lamb could be the shooter, derozen the slasher and Iggy the playmaker and best all-around player of the 3.
    What a bench. Bayless, Lamb, JJ, Kleiza and Amir. Very good defensive versatility.

    in that scenario,
    Lowry, Bayless
    Derozen, Lamb
    Iggy, JJ, Kleiza
    Bargs, JJ, Kleiza
    Val, Amir, Gray? Magloire?

    Make it the whole first round. Stopping at 25 seems random and just strange. I understand your reasoning, but why not make the 5 extra picks? You still have almost 2 weeks

    That being said, I'll be making a full first round mock. I do every year for money with some friends, so I'm glad to share.

    Default Re: Put you money down.....the mock draft predictions

    1st Pick NO - Anthony Davis
    10th Pick NO - Austin Rivers

    4th Pick Cavs - Harrison Barnes

    6th Pick Blazer - Dion Waiters
    8th Pick Raps - Andre Drummond

    I will post rest as I think about it in my head further. I can't figure out Bobcats/Washington/Kings. I can't figure out how it will shake out. Robinson MKG and Beal will be picked in those 3 spots in my opinion. Just can't figure out who will pick who. I have a feeling Bobcats will pick Robinson, but can't be sure. Will come through with it later.

    EDIT -

    2nd Pick CHA - Thomas Robinson
    3rd Pick WSH - MKG
    5th pick SAC - Bradley Beal (another SG? I think this team can definitely take drummond here)
    9th Pick Pistons - Perry Jones
    11th Pick Por - Damian Lillard
    12th Pick Raptors (via Milwaukee for Ed Davis) - Jeremy Lamb...

    Chamberlain's Mock Draft Version 1

    1. Hornets - Anthony Davis

    No brainer. Has been the consensus #1 forever and possibly the only player with franchise-changing ability.

    2. Bobcats - Thomas Robinson

    I haven't been sold on this guy forever, but I'm starting to become more of a believer. He's a huge guy and physically ready to play in the league. Should make a great 1-2 combo with Kemba Walker in the near future, and his style of play should work well with/allow Biyombo to take the reigns at Center.

    3. Wizards - Bradley Beal

    I think MKG and Barnes will be superior players, but with the recent trade (getting Okaor and Ariza), the Wizards can hope that Beal and Wall will create a dynamic duo in the backcourt, while Emeka and Nene patrol the paint and get easy hoops. They also have Ariza now, making the need for SG a higher priority. The future looks pretty good for the Wiz.

    4. Cavaliers - Harrison Barnes

    Gives them a shooter to create room for Irving and Thompson. I considered MKG with this pick, but I think the Cavs have a greater need for somebody with Barnes' skillset, and I've also read reports that scouts believe Barnes will be a far superior NBA player than he was NCAA player.

    5. Kings - Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

    Could be Drummond, but MKG brings a whole new dynamic to this team. His athleticism will look great beside Tyreke Evans, and is also a great contrast to Jimmer. Reports have also spoken favourably of his leadership skills, which is something this team will need with a guy like DeMarcus Cousins on board.

    6. Trail Blazers - Andre Drummond

    With or without Greg Oden, the Blazers could use some young legs at the C position. If he pans out, imagine the duo of Drummond and Aldridge in the front court. SCARY! If he doesn't pan out, he should still be an adequate defender and shot blocker, which are always in demand. I feel there is no risk for the Blazers to make this pick.

    7. Warriors - Terrence Ross

    Admittedly, a bit high for Ross. But I feel his style of play compliments EVERYBODY on this team. He is the perfect SF to play in between the front court (Lee, Bogut, Biendrins) and the back court (Curry, Thompson). I could see the Warriors trading down for Ross, but I think they would take the risk here over a guy like Jeremy Lamb.

    8. Raptors - Damian Lillard

    I think Colangelo hangs onto the pick. Lillard gives them a future starting PG to replace Jose when his contract expires or if he is traded near the deadline. Lillard is use to playing out of the spotlight, and though the Toronto media is rough, he'll be able to shine playing for a rarely noticed Raptors team. If he doesn't turn into a star, I believe he'll still be a very steady starting PG for years to come and make for a great 3rd scoring option.

    9. Pistons - Meyers Leonard

    Huge guy. Allows Monroe to move back to the PF position, which improves the Pistons greatly. Don't think he'll ever be a star, but he compliments Monroe well and the Pistons should be in line to get an even better pick next season and can shore up their swing positions.

    10. Hornets - Kendall Marshall

    I'm not sold entirely on Marshall, because of his defensive liabilities, but when you have a guy like Anthony Davis in the paint waiting for opposing teams drives, I feel comfortable with Marshall on this team. Not to mention, he's a wizard with the ball in his hands, which bodes VERY well for the raw offensive skills of Anthony Davis and star player Eric Gordon.

    11. Trail Blazers - Austin Rivers

    Gives them a guy who may be able to play both PG and SG positions. Could potentially be one of the better players in the draft if he gains strength. Another guy who can create space for Aldridge and Drummond, and can effectively get both the ball.

    12. Bucks - Tyler Zeller

    Seems to fit their system, and their desperate need for a Center. Reports say they like Henson, but I think Zeller is the smarter option. Has good enough hands and rebounding ability to be able to benefit from Monta Ellis' crazy driving abilities.

    13. Suns - Dion Waiters

    Honestly, just basing this off the reports that the Suns have a promise with him. I'd personally go for Marquis Teague and take the gamble he'll be good enough to start for them someday, but apparently they already have their mind made up. I have no issue with Waiters, I just think there are better players available.

    14. Rockets - John Henson

    Considered Jared Sullinger, but I feel Henson compliments players like Scola, Patterson and Morris better. They could also go with Teague with the uncertainty around Kyle Lowry and needing a backup for Dragic, but I like the idea of Henson here.

    15. Sixers - Jared Sullinger

    Replacement for Elton Brand, plain and simple. Should probably go earlier, but back and stamina issues become a factor. He can learn from Brand and be groomed for a long and steady career as a 20/10 guy if he can remain healthy and in shape.

    16. Rockets - Perry Jones III

    Taking a gamble on a lottery talent with character issues. Another player who compliments the front court well (and differently than Henson does) and has the ability to take players off the dribble. Creates a bit of a clutter in the front court, but that could work to their advantage in making furthers moves/not rushing raw players.

    17. Mavericks - Jeremy Lamb

    Will be the player in this draft who falls the most. I really dislike his seeming lack of interest in the game. I believe being in the Mavericks system can help him though, as he will be surrounded by a winning environment full of great leaders.

    18. Timberwolves - Moe Harkless

    Tough player. I just like the fit here between guys like Rubio and Love. I see Moe as the perfect glue guy for a contending team.

    19. Magic - Terrance Jones

    Quite simply, the best player left on the board. With the uncertainty surrounding Dwight Howard, they can't afford to draft based on need. Take the best player available and see how the Dwight situation unfolds, and act accordingly.

    20. Nuggets - Royce White

    After losing Nene, and being pretty well set in the back court and SF position, Royce White is a big body who is ready to bang with the big boys. Will be a nice compliment to Kenneth Faried.

    21. Celtics - Arnett Moultrie

    Smooth big man. Probably ready to be a solid bench contributer already. Celtics need help in the front court with the possible departure of KG and an overall lack of depth. A guy who can benefit from Rondo's drive and dish ability.

    22. Celtics - Andrew Nicholson

    Celtics go big again. Nicholson came alive last season, and may be a bust at the next level, but reminds of a lot of Walter McCarty who was an absolute fan favourite for the Celtics in the early 2000s. The ability to hit mid range jumpers and even 3 pointers, and an adequate rebounder. Another guy who can benefit greatly from Rondo.

    23. Hawks - Festus Ezeli

    May be a bit high for a one dimensional player, but the Hawks really need a guy who can protect the paint and allow Horford to move back to the Center position and Josh Smith to the SF position. If he can step in and provide toughness, rebounding, and shotblocking, the Hawks are in great shape.

    24. Cavaliers - Fab Melo

    Lack of front court depth, and is apparently doing very well in workouts lately. Allows Tristan Thompson to have more flexibility in being able to leave the paint for pick and rolls/pops. A big body who could turn into an elite rebounder.

    25. Grizzlies - Marquis Teague

    I think he should go higher, but the Grizz are happy to pick up an able backup Point Guard to play behind Mike Conley, and maybe even someday challenge him for the job.

    26. Pacers - Tony Wroten

    Huge PG. Pacers are pretty set at all positions and have great depth. Barbosa may not return and Wroten would have the ability to play some SG off the bench. I feel he can turn into a player who is a cross between the Pacers two current point guards, George Hill and Darren Collison.

    27. Heat - Henry Sims

    A bit high for sims to go, but he is a huge player, he's older than most in the draft and should be able to contribute in the star studded system in Miami. A great passer from the low post which is always something great to have, especially since Miami would like to add more perimeter shooters around the Big 3.

    28. Thunder - Draymond Green

    I feel he fits in well with this team. Does all the little things, not elite at anything. The Thunder have enough star power, and will benefit from having a glue guy such as Green. Limited potential, but will probably be a very serviceable bench player for years.

    29. Bulls - Doron Lamb

    Best shooter available in the draft. This is going to be a challenging year for the Bulls who will be without Rose for the majority of the season, but when he returns to health, the entire team will benefit from having a 3 point shooter on the roster.

    30. Warriors - Quincy Miller

    Potential lottery talent, but consistency and IQ issues. Able to play both forward positions, and will be able to grow and learn under great players in an uptempo system.
