Thread: How do you see the Top 6 picks going?

  1. #1

    How do you see the Top 6 picks going?

    1 CLE- Nerlens Noel
    2 ORL- Ben McLemore
    3 WAS- Otto Porter
    4 CHAR- Victor Oladipo
    5 PHX- Anthony Bennett
    6 NO- Trey Burke

    Just for fun, of course. I'm aware that individual interviews and workouts can and will shakeup draft stocks of various players.

    "I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."

    I think the wildcard is Orlando. If they don't draft Burke, I think he falls like in your mock. But my only issue is that, I don't see teams picking for need so much in this draft. So teams like Charlotte or Washington with young, but still unproven point guards scare me.

    This draft does stink honestly. Winning the lottery in this draft is like winning the lottery in the Hunger Games.

    Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams

    Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston

    I think the top 3 are really interchangeable

    Huh? I wouldn't see Washington giving up on Wall for Burke. As far as Charlotte, Walker really came on last year.

    Definitely need Bennett to have great workouts and pop into the top 5.

    Apparently, he's still recovering from rotator cuff surgery on his left shoulder.

    Doubt he'll have the chance to impress teams via individual team workouts.

    Bennett will miss all NBA pre-draft workouts, the NBA draft combine and summer league.

    Agree. But ya never know

    If Burke doesn't go to ORL, he's slipping to at least our pick, if not further.

    Granted another team doesn't trade up to snag him.

    I can definitely see Zeller sneak into Phoenix at #5. He'd be a great fit at PF for them. If that happens, then it goes down like this IMO:

    1 CLE- Nerlens Noel
    2 ORL- Ben McLemore
    3 WAS- Anthony Bennett
    4 CHAR- Victor Oladipo
    5 PHX- Cody Zeller
    6 NO- Otto Porter or Trey Burke

    That's best case scenario IMO.

    Zeller and Bennett both sneaking into the top 5? Best case indeed.

    We need some player to do a Waiters in jump into the top 5

    1. CLE Noel
    2. ORL McLemore
    3. WAS Porter
    4. CHAR Len
    5. PHX Bennett
    6. NO Burke or Oladipo

    I actually hope for Oladipo - can't believe I actually want another 2 from Indiana, but in my dream world we'd get Oladipo and trade that other guard from IU that I refuse to acknowledge by name for either Iguodala or Gay.

    If this happens I would run around New Orleans like Forest Gump

    So if we landed the #1 pick this would still be the worst draft in recent memory? Come on now, a few weeks ago people were talking about how deep this draft was. No need for sour grapes.
    If you Jimmer it, they will come.

    Cavs-Porter
    Magic- Noel
    Wizards-Bennett
    Bobcats-McElmore
    Suns-Oladipo
    Us-Burke

    Not many people were talking about. Most of the stuff I've heard and read from analysts is how bad this draft is at the top.
