NBA Mock Draft 3.0

1.New Orleans Hornets- PF Anthony Davis

Obvious number one pick.

2. Charlotte Bobcats- PF Thomas Robinson

The Bobcats want to trade this pick, Denver, Cleveland, OKC and San Antonio are all options. If they can't get a trade done this will be the pick.

3. Washington Wizards- SG Bradley Beal

Since they traded for Trevor Ariza they will take Beal who is the best player on the board. If a team trades for the second pick, expect the Wizards to take Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

4. Cleveland Cavaliers- SF Harrison Barnes

The Cavs need a scorer and if they can't get Beal this is the next best option.

5. Sacramento Kings- C Andre Drummond

Drummond is raw, but he should get meaningful playing time in Sacramento.

6. Portland Blazers- SG Dion Waiters

The Blazers need guard help and they will get the second best scoring guard in the draft in Waiters.

7. Golden State Warriors- SF Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

MKG ends his slide here, but the Warriors were looking to trade this pick for an established SF, Wilson Chandler, Rudy Gay and others. It is likely they will trade out of this pick.

8. Toronto Raptors- SG Austin Rivers

They need a scorer that that is who they will get in Rivers.

9. Detroit Pistons- PF John Henson

He is undersized, but he plays defense well and he blocks shots. He will make an immediate impact on the Pistons front court.

10. New Orleans Hornets- C Tyler Zeller

I think the Hornets will decide to round out their front court by adding Zeller and putting him next to Davis.

11. Portland Blazers- PG Damian Lillard

Portland will add two scoring guards. Lillard has impressed in workouts and is too good to pass up.

12. Houston Rockets- C Meyers Leonard

The Rockets need a true center and here he is. However expect them to package their picks for a higher pick.

13. Phoenix Suns- SG Jeremy Lamb

The Suns will go into full rebuilding mode and what is better than a scoring guard?

14. Milwaukee Bucks- PF/C Arnett Moultrie

The Bucks now have Dalembert expect them to add another big man.

15. Philadelphia 76ers- PF Jared Sullinger

They could use a presence down low. They may pass him up because of medical red flags, but they shouldnt.

16. Houston Rockets- SG Terrence Ross

The Rockets need a shooting guard with Martins contract running out at the end of the year.

17. Dallas Mavericks- PG Kendall Marshll

The Mavs need a PG since Kidd is old and Marshall is the best floor general in the class.

18. Houston Rockets- SF Moe Harkless

The Rockets traded Budinger so I expect them to draft someone to back up Parsons.

19. Orlando Magic- F Terrence Jones

Jones is a little less of a risk than Perry Jones so the magic take him and give Howard another scorer to take the load off.

20. Denver Nuggets- F Perry Jones III

Maybe I want him here since im a Nuggets fan, but I am predicting that he takes a draft day free fall, he stops here. The Nuggets are obviously looking to unload Wilson Chandler so they will need to replace him.

21. Boston Celtics- F Royce White

White will fall because he has anxiety issues, but the Celtics like him so he should find a home there.

22. Boston Celtics- C Fab Melo

The Celtics will need to replace Garnett sometime in the future and they will do so with the defensive minded Melo.

23. Atlanta Hawks- F Draymond Green

Green will do anything you ask and he could replace Williams.

24. Cleveland Cavaliers- SG Evan Fournier

After missing out on Beal they will select a foreign shooting guard to help Irving

25. Memphis Grizzlies- PG Marquis Teague

They need depth in their backcourt

26. Indiana Pacers- PF/C Andrew Nicholson

The Pacers need to bolster their front court and Nicholson will be the perfect pick.


27. Miami Heat- C Festus Ezeli


The Heat will look to add size because that is their weak spot on the team.


28. Oklahoma City Thunder- SF Jeff Taylor


They need someone to relieve Durant and do some spot duty.


29. Chicago Bulls- SG John Jenkins

The Bulls need a knockdown shooter to help Rose out.

30/ Golden State Warriors- G Tony Wroten

He will be able to back up Curry and Thompson and he is a change of pace because he can attack the basket.
