NBA Mock Draft

[Controversy]

Yeah that's true but will that shooting translate to the NBA 3 point line? His shot is unorthodox and his release is slow. Not a guarantee his shooting translates. No doubt his skills on defense will tho. I also think Wendell Carter Jr is going to be better than Jaren Jackson Jr but that's just me.

Carter is a sleeper...honestly wouldn't be surprised if he snuck into the top 6

My favorite player in the draft. Would love him in Sacramento. Just not at 2.

I do too.

 

[#1 pick]

My little bro Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman was cooking Mikal Bridges but they go way back and know each other so I would not worry too much about that. I'd love to see my little bro get drafted. Don't think it happens tho. He's gonna have a great career overseas if he goes undrafted.

While I disagree on Mikal. Congrats on your little bro doing it big

If Orlando takes Sexton, Cleveland takes Young

I think the Cavs should take Wendell Carter Jr.

I could see the Suns trying to trade up to that 8-10 area if Trae Young's still available.

They have the #16 , #31, future Miami picks, and TJ Warren/Dragan Bender/Marquese Chriss to throw out there.

PG:Young
SG.Booker
SF:Jackson
PF:Chriss/Bender(Whoever they don't trade)
C.Ayton

Who do you think is a good fit for Philly?

I like smith but I don’t think Philly is a good spot for him. Needs to see major minutes on a bad team to work on his offense in real time or a team that desperately needs defense and can mitigate his spacing issues.

Think his best spot is on the clippers or Denver. Maybe San Antonio if they blow it up. New York would work too but that might be high for him if MPJ or the Bridges are there

 

[#1 pick]

Mikal best trait is not his talent or skill. It is his intangibles and feel for the game and attention to detail and high level mental capacity and the ability to adjust on the fly. The only prospect I've seen with this since was Horford. For that, hes extremely high on my list.

pull a Bos and trade back for future pick too. IMO Carter will be just as good or even better than Bagley.

Who do you think is a good fit for Philly?

I think all teams are a great fit for Bridges. He can help anyone right now. That's why his value will skyrocket after workouts and time spend with him while doing film session

 

[Jerz]

Yea I think that might happen too. Gms will think of Jaylon Brown and draft Zhaire off that type of potential. He's mocked around 20 - I can see him drafted in the 8-12 range

Been watching Zhaire Smith and I can see him having a Russ Westbrook type rise in the draft, he’s one of the most explosive college players I’ve ever seen.

Which Bridges? Im not big on Miles

Yeah I can see the Cavs trading down to like 11 or 12 and taking him and getting an extra pick.

Who do you think is a good fit for Philly?

At 10 I think Mikal Bridges is the best fit on paper if he’s there. If not I’m looking at Knox or Miles Bridges. I’m not super high on any of the 3 but that’s the type of player they should be looking at.

Kinda doubt Philly ends up keeping that pick though. Second round is where Philly can do damage if they hold on to those. If I’m them I’m targeting Jevon Carter and Grayson Allen with those early picks they have there.

Couldn’t think of the name but yep that’s him he was cooking Bridges but maybe that was fueled by friendly rivalry.

People really underestimate shyt like this when it comes to basketball players. GMs and scouts drive me crazy.

I don't disagree with this. I was telling people that Carter is better than Bagley and he's more skilled. Bagley is more athletic with an insane motor. I'm not knocking Bagley at all. Just think Carter is better. I know @#1 pick disagrees with this.
