    Just brought my tickets to the Barclays center yesterday so I'll be there in person to see the madness.

    I hope not, I'm low on Otto Porter and don't want the team tempted to pick him should he drop.

    Heck I'd rather Bennett.
    Seriously? PF is the deepest position on the team and Davis still needs to bulk up more if there's any intent on moving him to the 5. It would be great if Washington took Bennett because that would most likely mean Demps can have his pick of Burke, Porter, and Oladipo. That would be a great situation.

    Have you ever been before? Probably an interesting experience, although I'd much rather go to the NFL draft

    I guess it wouldn't be great in my opinion since I dislike Porter and Burke this high.

    Bennett wouldn't be my ideal choice at 6, but he's certainly be better than either of those two, mostly for his offensive versatility.

    No this is my first time. I'll do the NFL draft next year barring any unforeseen issues.

    I see Porter going 1. Orlando will take a big since they've had big-itis since Howard left. They've got multiple holes in the paint and just I can't see them passing up Noel in that case.

    This is how I see it. With Washington taking Bennett, followed by McElmore to the Bobcats and Oladipo to the Suns.

    If the wizards and the magic don't pick Porter or Burke, because the Cavs have too much pressure on them if they don't pick Noel. That would be wonderful for the Pelicans.

    Porter would be the perfect fit for the Pelicans.

    Oladipo, Porter, Burke, McLemore, Bazz, McCollum. Gotta come away from this draft with at least one of them.

    Definitely would love to have Porter fall to us. I think Phoenix would take him if he gets past Washington though, but if Washington takes Bennet it raises our chances so thats always good.

    Absolutely, that would add a solid player to our core. I wish we could add a little more firepower for next season. I want our opponent defense to fear the Pels ! Haha

    Right. It's Shabazz. Forgive the silly typo.

    Charlotte would go for McLemore/Oladipo (depending on ORLs pick) and Phoenix would probably take a player with greater upside than Porter, such as McCollum.
    I actually think with Porter would fit in with what Phoenix is looking for to be honest. He may not be a "superstar" presence, but his ability to do everything efficiently make him a safe pick. I think the Suns are in a position where they can't afford gambles.

    Can someone send me or whatever a site that compares mock drafts of different sites all on the same site?

    New GM/coach, which had to be honest with the President of the Suns and tell him it's gonna be a couple years before they can compete because the roster is de void of talent, I see them taking BPA regardless of position. Outside of Dragic, Gortat and Dudley they don't have to much NBA level talent on that roster IMO.

    Does he just have to fall to us or does he have to fall to us AND we take him?

    Bennett? Where are they going to put him? At the 3? Because they have Nene and Okie at the 4/5. Unless they are going to play small ball with Nene at the 4.

    I guess shows how fans disagree with the team. I see the team with a starting PG, SG, and PF. The SF and C positions could use an upgrade, while keeping Vasquez and Lopez as great backups.

    Both of which are 30 years old...

    Emeka is a big expiring and Nene is signed through 2015. Unless they are drafting Bennett for bench depth or to replace Emeka, I don't see how this makes sense.
