    Bennett or Zeller fit the mold. Good. Whatever pushes Burke down to us.

    I think Porter goes first, guys.

    I just don't see a player getting drafted #1 overall that isn't a great athlete, isn't great at anything in particular, and isn't a center.

    But then again, this draft class is so weak at the top and the two that most have projected to go #1 have major concerns.. I guess we'll find out in a few weeks.

    If Washington passes on him it's a very real possibility, though I would be worried about some team trading up for him.

    John Wall will be the next superstar. I can only imagine how exciting the Wizards would be with Bennet added to the mix.

    Him. Oladipo. Burke. I'll take any of those guys. I just think Burke has the best chance of falling. Teams love guys with length like Porter. And they like hyper athletes like Oladipo.

    1. Noel
    2. McLemore
    3. Bennnett
    4. Oladipo
    5. Porter
    6. Burke

    or

    1. Porter
    2. Noel
    3. Bennett
    4. McLemore
    5. Oladipo
    6. Burke

    from what I can tell, it looks like Burke is going to fall. I don't see Porter falling unless he has poor workouts or if someone really jumps up the boards.

    Well, if the Magic fall in love with Burke (they really need a PG of the future), then it could go like this:

    1. Porter
    2. Burke
    3. Bennett
    4. Noel
    5. Oladipo
    6. McLemore

    You can flip Oladipo and McLemore depending on what the Suns do. Or, Charlotte can take McLemore at #4, and Suns would take Dipo at #5, so Noel would fall to us that way.

    couple of options here, like slim said if the magic take burke theres a very good chance that 1 of mclemore porter or oladipo falls to us, it all depends if the bobcats want a big man like zeller or if they want a SG, now who would yall rather, mclemore or oladipo?

    Certainly possible!

    This draft can go so many different ways. June 27 is going to be an interesting night for sure.

    right now if i had to do a mock

    cavs - noel
    magic - mclemore
    wizards - bennett
    bobcats - oladipo
    suns - zeller
    pelicans - burke or porter

    this would be awesommmmmmmme

    i would basically do whatever i could to try and find a way to get the #7 pick from the kings and also take porter at 7 hahaha

    also no way oladipo makes it past the bobcats, he is a jordan guy to the fault, super athletic, hard working SG, jordan will not pass on him

    Someone will slip if Bennett goes there.

    R.I.P. to HunnyB/FlyGirl

    If Jordan loves competitive natures, which I'm sure he does, Shabazz might go there.

    Oladipo. He's only about 8 months older and I feel is the better player right now and has more upside. Oladipo's weaknesses (jumpshooting and ball handling) are more likely to improve than McLemore's (attacking the rim, inconsistency especially when called upon).

    Also feel that Oladipo would bring toughness and could be a top 5 perimeter defender, something this team needs desperately.

    I don't think even Jordan could make a pick that bad, although I certainly I hope he does.

    im also more of an oladipo fan than mclemore, plus i think his ball handling and shooting is fine and will improve, just like it did every year in college, i still think oladipo burke and porter will by far be the best 3 from this draft.
