USA Today Mock Draft

[Eddie20]

Pretty good mock from USA Today

Has us taking Lyles, Upshaw, Powell, and a draft and stash guy in Osman. I'd prefer to take the higher upside of Vaughn over Powell, but I can't say I'd be too disappointed if our draft ended up like this.

Round 1

1. T'Wolves: Karl-Anthony Towns, C Kentucky
HT: 6'11" | WT: 250 lbs | AGE: 19
With neither Towns nor Okafor participating in last week’s NBA combine, the status quo at the top of the draft remains the same.


2. Knicks: Jahlil Okafor, C Duke
HT: 6'11" | WT: 270 lbs | AGE: 19
Okafor didn’t participate at the combine but worked out privately in Chicago. After reportedly losing 12 pounds, it will be interesting to see how Okafor looks when he starts working out for teams.


3. 76ers: D'Angelo Russell, G Ohio State
HT: 6'5" | WT: 180 lbs | AGE: 19
While Russell didn’t play in the 5-on-5 portion of the combine, his 6-9 3/4 wingspan is a very good measurement for either guard position.


4. Lakers: Emmanuel Mudiay, PG
HT: 6'5" | WT: 200 lbs | AGE: 19
Mudiay’s strength, athleticism and passing instincts give him great potential at the point guard spot, especially if he can make his jump shot more reliable.


5. Magic: Justise Winslow, SF Duke
HT: 6'6" | WT: 225 lbs | AGE: 19
Winslow measured only 6-6 1/2 at the combine, which limits his ability to play more than spot minutes as a small power forward. Still, the incredible athlete should be able to defend either wing position.



6. Kings: Willie Cauley-Stein, C Kentucky
HT: 7'0" | WT: 240 lbs | AGE: 21
Cauley-Stein measured in at more than 7 feet in shoes, which just reinforces how incredible his ability to move his feet on the perimeter is.


7. Nuggets: Kristaps Porzingis, C Latvia
HT: 7'1" | WT: 220 lbs | AGE: 19
While Porzingis wasn’t at the combine, his name was a hot topic of conversation. There doesn’t seem to be a consensus on the 7-foot Latvian, but he has his share of fans among front office personnel.



8. Pistons: Mario Hezonja, SF Croatia
HT: 6'8" | WT: 218 lbs | AGE: 20
Depending on how long F.C. Barcelona’s season lasts, Hezonja might not see much time, if any, over in the United States before the draft. Still, he has shown potential, despite inconsistent playing time.


9. Hornets: Stanley Johnson, SF Arizona
HT: 6'6" | WT: 245 lbs | AGE: 18
Like Winslow, Johnson measuring in at a little taller than 6-6 in shoes was a slight disappointment, but his long arms and strong frame should overcome that on the defensive end.


10. Heat: Kelly Oubre, SG Kansas
HT: 6'7" | WT: 200 lbs | AGE: 19
Oubre measured out with very long arms (over 7-2 wingspan) to go along with his 37-inch vertical jump.


11. Pacers: Frank Kaminsky, PF Wisconsin
HT: 7'0" | WT: 242 lbs | AGE: 21
Measuring over 7 feet in shoes at the combine, there simply aren’t very many guys that big with Kaminsky’s diversity on the offensive end.



12. Jazz: Myles Turner, C Texas
HT: 6'11" | WT: 243 lbs | AGE: 19
With a 9-4 standing reach, it’s easy to see how Turner (4.7 blocks per 40 minutes) has such an impact on that end of the court.


13. Suns: Sam Dekker, SF Wisconsin
HT: 6'9" | WT: 230 lbs | AGE: 20
Dekker measured 6-9 in shoes with a very good lane agility score of 10.71 seconds. That's faster than guys like Justin Anderson and Kelly Oubre (both 11.1 seconds).


14. Thunder: Devin Booker, SG Kentucky
HT: 6'6" | WT: 206 lbs | AGE: 18
For a guy who didn’t play in 5-on-5 basketball, Booker helped his stock quite a bit, as his incredible lane agility time of 10.22 seconds gives optimism about his long term defensive potential.


15. Hawks: Kevon Looney, PF UCLA
HT: 6'9" | WT: 220 lbs | AGE: 19
Looney’s 9-2 standing reach was the second-highest among power forwards at the combine, which plays a part in the defensive versatility that makes him so intriguing.


16. Celtics: Trey Lyles, PF Kentucky
HT: 6'10" | WT: 235 lbs | AGE: 19
Lyles spent most of his season out of position at the three, but after measuring in at 6-10 with shoes on and a 9-feet standing reach, there should be little doubt he can transition to the NBA four.


17. Bucks: Jerian Grant, SG Notre Dame
HT: 6'4" | WT: 204 lbs | AGE: 22
At 6-4 and with a long 6-7 1/2 wingspan, Grant had a solid, if unspectacular, combine.



18. Rockets: Bobby Portis, PF Arkansas
HT: 6'11" | WT: 242 lbs | AGE: 20
Portis, who said at the combine that he doesn’t play with a chip on his shoulder, but a log, didn’t stand out at any single combine measurement, but that’s never really been his game, as intensity wasn’t measured.


19. Wizards: Tyus Jones, PG Duke
HT: 6'2" | WT: 190 lbs | AGE: 18
Measuring 6-2 in shoes, with a 6-5 wingspan, a 32.5-inch vertical jump, and the slowest lane agility score of any point guard measured, Jones didn’t do much to disprove concerns decision makers have over his athleticism.


20. Raptors: Cameron Payne, PG Murray State
HT: 6'2" | WT: 180 lbs | AGE: 20
Payne measured just shorter than Jones at 6-1 1/2, but his 6-7 1/4 wingspan has more than two inches on Jones. He also performed well in the vertical jump and lane agility.


21. Mavericks: Montrezl Harrell, PF Louisville
HT: 6'8" | WT: 240 lbs | AGE: 21
Harrell measured 6-7 without shoes. While he’s still undersized, the better measurement, along with the longest wingspan of any power forward measured, helps ease concerns about him playing the power forward position.


22. Bulls: Christian Wood, PF UNLV
HT: 6'11" | WT: 220 lbs | AGE: 19
Wood had the tallest standing reach among power forwards at the combine, although he weighed in at 216 pounds. He’ll need to add weight, but his size, athleticism, and skill level is intriguing.



23. Blazers: Justin Anderson, SG Virginia
HT: 6'6" | WT: 227 lbs | AGE: 21
Anderson had a 43-inch vertical jump, an incredible number for a player of his size. With that athleticism, defense, and improved shooting, you could see Anderson climb back up draft boards.



24. Cavaliers: R.J. Hunter, SG Georgia State
HT: 6'6" | WT: 190 lbs | AGE: 21
Hunter measured 6-6 in shoes with solid, if unspectacular, measurables and athletic testing results. The key for Hunter was likely behind closed doors during interviews.


25. Grizzlies: Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, SF Arizona
HT: 6'7" | WT: 220 lbs | AGE: 20
Hollis-Jefferson measured as one of the stronger athletes at the combine, with a 38-inch vertical and strong results in the lane agility and sprint tests. That, along with a 7-2 wingspan and 8-8 standing reach, help make him the defender he is.


26. Spurs: Delon Wright, SG Utah
HT: 6'5" | WT: 190 lbs | AGE: 22
Wright measured out a little worse in the athletic tests than expected, with a 31-inch vertical and below average results in the lane agility and sprint. Still, it’s his incredible anticipation that is the backbone of his stellar defense.


27. Lakers: Jarrell Martin, PF LSU
HT: 6'9" | WT: 235 lbs | AGE: 20
Martin came in with a solid 34.5-inch vertical, but 11.12 second lane agility score was one of the better marks for a power forward, which fits what he showed at LSU.


28. Celtics: Robert Upshaw, C Washington
HT: 7'0" | WT: 250 lbs | AGE: 21
The enigmatic Upshaw spent most of his interview sessions explaining how he’s learned from his numerous mistakes. When he wasn’t interviewing, his 9-5 standing reach was the high mark at the combine.


29. Nets: Terry Rozier, PG Louisville
HT: 6'2" | WT: 200 lbs | AGE: 19
With a 38-inch vertical and good marks in the lane agility and 3/4 court sprint, Terry Rozier showed some of the physical attributes necessary to overcome his 6-2 height.


30. Warriors: Cliff Alexander, PF Kansas
HT: 6'8" | WT: 240 lbs | AGE: 19
Alexander came to the combine chiseled, with a body fat percentage of only 5.8%, a good indication that he’s been working hard despite not playing a game since Feb. 23.

31. T'Wolves: Chris McCullough, PF Syracuse

44. Suns: Aleksandar Vezenkov, SF Cyprus
HT: 6'8" | WT: 200 lbs | AGE: 19

45. Celtics: Cedi Osman, SF Macedonia
HT: 6'8" | WT: 190 lbs | AGE: 20

46. Bucks: Michael Frazier, SG Florida

51. Magic: Anthony Brown, SF Stanford
HT: 6'7" | WT: 207 lbs | AGE: 22

52. Mavericks: Joseph Young, PG Oregon
HT: 6'2" | WT: 185 lbs | AGE: 22

53. Cavaliers: Jonathan Holmes, SF Texas
HT: 6'8" | WT: 254 lbs | AGE: 22

54. Jazz: Treveon Graham, SG VCU
HT: 6'5" | WT: 216 lbs | AGE: 21

55. Spurs: Brandon Ashley, PF Arizona
HT: 6'8" | WT: 223 lbs | AGE: 20

56. Pelicans: Vince Hunter, PF UTEP
HT: 6'8" | WT: 200 lbs | AGE: 20

57. Nuggets: Alan Williams, C UCSB
HT: 6'8" | WT: 264 lbs | AGE: 22

58. 76ers: Shannon Scott, PG Ohio State
HT: 6'2" | WT: 175 lbs | AGE: 22

59. Hawks: Nikola Milutinov, C Serbia
HT: 7'0" | WT: 220 lbs | AGE: 20

60. 76ers: Nedim Buza, SF
HT: 6'7" | WT: 190 lbs | AGE: 19

[TheFlex]

If Upshaw is at 28 I will be ecstatic.

[slamtheking]

while if this came true on draft night it would be hard to complain but adding yet another PF with the top pick?  hoping we can move up a bit to get Turner or Johnson.   That AB for Utah #12 deal is looking very appetizing to me.

[Evantime34]

I think you will see Sullinger, Olynyk or both moved during the offseason making it likely we draft a 4.

Moving up to get Turner or Johnson would be great, but hopefully we don't need to give up AB to do it.

Lyles, Upshaw and Osman would be good picks if we stay at those spots. I don't know much about Powell, but I would target Mam Jaiteh at that spot.

[TheTruthFot18]

Saw this earlier. I would be more than thrilled if we landed Lyes AND Upshaw with our picks. I think both are projected at lest 2-3 spots higher than ours picks though.

[Eddie20]

Again, not a bad mock. I like going big with Portis and Upshaw, and Rozier (who is 21 not 19) is a good player who excelled in the 5 on 5 at the combine. I don't like Harvey though. He's undersized (6-4) and doesn't have a great wingspan (6-6). He also has poor shot selection. I would rather draft a euro (Osman, Hernangomez, or Gracia) for a draft and stash or take Anthony Brown, who looks like he would excel in Stevens system as a 3 and D player.


ESPN on Brown-

The numbers actually tell a pretty similar story about Brown, who rates as completely undraftable (minus-1.1 WARP). Besides his late development, a really poor steal rate works against Brown. Yet I still think he's got a chance to enjoy a long NBA career. Every year in May and June, when players like Danny Green are making a big impact in the playoffs, readers ask about possible 3-and-D college prospects. Usually, that means selling them players who are skilled in one area or the other but will have to develop into a well-rounded player. Brown is already there. He's got enough size and length (6-7 with a 6-10 wingspan) to defend either wing spot, and he's made better than 45 percent of his 3s the past two seasons. I see Green and Khris Middleton as possible optimistic outcomes for Brown.

Round 1

1. T'Wolves: Jahlil Okafor, C Duke
HT: 6'11" | WT: 270 lbs | AGE: 19
Towns has been the top rated prospect on most teams' draft boards for quite some time, but Minnesota winning the lottery has cast doubt on that. This is far from set in stone, but more and more indications are starting to point to Okafor being a very serious possibility here for Flip Saunders.


2. Lakers: Karl-Anthony Towns, C Kentucky
HT: 6'11" | WT: 250 lbs | AGE: 19
Towns falling to No. 2 would be ideal for the Lakers, as Towns’ two-way game would be a better fit in the Lakers front court with last year's first-round pick Julius Randle than would Okafor.


3. 76ers: D'Angelo Russell, G Ohio State
HT: 6'5" | WT: 180 lbs | AGE: 19
Philadelphia will likely look at all options here, including Kristaps Porzingis, the Latvian big man whom the Sixers like. In the end, Russell’s sweet shooting makes too much sense, and he fills both a position of need and has the upside to warrant the pick.


4. Knicks: Emmanuel Mudiay, PG
HT: 6'5" | WT: 200 lbs | AGE: 19
Whether the Knicks keep the pick is one of the more intriguing storylines in the draft, but if they do Mudiay may make the most sense for Phil Jackson and his rebuilding effort in New York.


5. Magic: Kristaps Porzingis, C Latvia
HT: 7'1" | WT: 220 lbs | AGE: 19
Porzingis continues to draw rave reviews, including from the Magic. Porzingis’ perimeter shooting and shot blocking would complement Nikola Vucevic on both ends of the court.



6. Kings: Willie Cauley-Stein, C Kentucky
HT: 7'0" | WT: 240 lbs | AGE: 21
The Kings really need a shot blocker to pair next to DeMarcus Cousins, and getting that front court help could help pacify the talented big man.


7. Nuggets: Mario Hezonja, SF Croatia
HT: 6'8" | WT: 218 lbs | AGE: 20
Hezonja’s offensive upside and high talent level would be a nice piece in Denver’s rebuilding plan.



8. Pistons: Justise Winslow, SF Duke
HT: 6'6" | WT: 225 lbs | AGE: 19
Winslow falling this low would be a coup for Detroit, providing them another strong defender to pair with Andre Drummond.


9. Hornets: Stanley Johnson, SF Arizona
HT: 6'6" | WT: 245 lbs | AGE: 18
Charlotte’s defense kept them in games, but their shooting was a major Achilles heal. With Johnson, the Hornets have the chance to improve one of their weaknesses while also building on one of their strengths.


10. Heat: Devin Booker, SG Kentucky
HT: 6'6" | WT: 206 lbs | AGE: 18
With an aging roster full of veterans, the Heat will want somebody who can contribute now, and somebody who can do that while spacing the floor would be ideal for Dwyane Wade and Goran Dragic would be ideal.


11. Pacers: Myles Turner, C Texas
HT: 6'11" | WT: 243 lbs | AGE: 19
With David West getting up there in age and Roy Hibbert’s contract expiring soon, the Pacers could use some front court depth, and Turner’s ability to play defense down low and step out on the perimeter could help.



12. Jazz: Kelly Oubre, SG Kansas
HT: 6'7" | WT: 200 lbs | AGE: 19
The Jazz have good, young depth all over the place, so taking a swing on a guy like Oubre, who has a world of physical talent, is a smart gamble.


13. Suns: Frank Kaminsky, PF Wisconsin
HT: 7'0" | WT: 242 lbs | AGE: 21
Phoenix could really use some front court depth, and Kaminsky’s versatility would be a good get for them this late in the lottery.


14. Thunder: Sam Dekker, SF Wisconsin
HT: 6'9" | WT: 230 lbs | AGE: 20
The Thunder have been trying, with mixed results, to fill out their wing depth for years, and Wisconsin’s versatile forward could help in that regard.


15. Hawks: Trey Lyles, PF Kentucky
HT: 6'10" | WT: 235 lbs | AGE: 19
For a team that values floor spacing and ball movement, Trey Lyles’ face-up and perimeter game could flourish.


16. Celtics: Bobby Portis, PF Arkansas
HT: 6'11" | WT: 242 lbs | AGE: 20
The Celtics are more in need of a center, especially a shot blocker. Still, unless Willie Cauley-Stein falls, or they’re willing to reach on an undersized Montrezl Harrell, one might not be available here. Portis’ hustle and rebounding would complement their other front court options well.


17. Bucks: Cameron Payne, PG Murray State
HT: 6'2" | WT: 180 lbs | AGE: 20
Milwaukee is another team that could really use some depth at the center position and wouldn’t mind if either Willie Cauley-Stein or Myles Turner unexpectedly fell. Barring that, some scoring punch from their backup point would be a nice addition.


18. Rockets: Jerian Grant, PG Notre Dame
HT: 6'4" | WT: 204 lbs | AGE: 22
With 37-year-old Jason Terry logging major minutes and Patrick Beverley a free agent, Houston is in need of point guard depth in the worst way. Grant can come in and contribute right away.


19. Wizards: Kevon Looney, PF UCLA
HT: 6'9" | WT: 220 lbs | AGE: 19
The Wizards’ front court rotation is getting a little bit long in the tooth, and adding a young, defensive-minded, versatile big this late in the draft could be a nice value pick for them.


20. Raptors: Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, SF Arizona
HT: 6'7" | WT: 220 lbs | AGE: 20
The Raptors had the 25th-ranked defense last season, and getting an elite wing defender like Hollis-Jefferson could help them in that regard. Point guard depth could be a route they go as well depending on how confident they are in bringing back Lou Williams.


21. Mavericks: Delon Wright, SG Utah
HT: 6'5" | WT: 190 lbs | AGE: 22
With the Mavericks moving on from Rajon Rondo, point guard depth is an area of need. They could also look at Tyus Jones here, but getting a guy like Wright who can pressure the ball defensively would help improve their disappointing defense.


22. Bulls: Tyus Jones, PG Duke
HT: 6'2" | WT: 190 lbs | AGE: 18
With Kirk Hinrich getting up there in age, having a steady hand to guide Chicago’s offense while Rose is on the bench would be a great addition for the Bulls.



23. Blazers: Montrezl Harrell, PF Louisville
HT: 6'8" | WT: 240 lbs | AGE: 21
Portland could go in many different directions with this pick, but adding a good defender and rebounder could help them shore up those areas.



24. Cavaliers: Justin Anderson, SG Virginia
HT: 6'6" | WT: 227 lbs | AGE: 21
Another knockdown set shooter and elite defender would make a nice addition for LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.


25. Grizzlies: R.J. Hunter, SG Georgia State
HT: 6'6" | WT: 190 lbs | AGE: 21
The Grizzlies could really use Hunter’s shooting and offensive versatility here, and Hunter falling this far could be the perfect fit.


26. Spurs: Christian Wood, PF UNLV
HT: 6'11" | WT: 220 lbs | AGE: 19
Wood would be a good value pick this last in the draft, as the combination of a guy who can score from the perimeter and block shots is tough to find.


27. Lakers: Rashad Vaughn, SG UNLV
HT: 6'6" | WT: 210 lbs | AGE: 18
The Lakers could use a shooter in the worst way, especially if they add another big with the second overall pick. Vaughn could fit the bill here.


28. Celtics: Robert Upshaw, C Washington
HT: 7'0" | WT: 250 lbs | AGE: 21
If there’s one team that has a big enough need for a shot blocker that they’d be willing to take a chance on Upshaw’s checkered past it’s Boston, who finished last in the league in blocked shots last season.


29. Nets: Aleksandar Vezenkov, SF Cyprus
HT: 6'8" | WT: 200 lbs | AGE: 19
Vezenkov’s been a hot name of late, and his three point shooting (he shot 39% from three in the Greek A1 league) could help space he floor for a Brooklyn team that struggled to do so consistently.


30. Warriors: Jarrell Martin, PF LSU
HT: 6'9" | WT: 235 lbs | AGE: 20
Golden State’s depth provides them the luxury of going for talent, and Martin has a lot of that. With the way Golden State can space the floor, a face-up big like Martin could find success there.

Round 2

[Csfan1984]

I would go Portis, Upshaw, Andrew Harrison, Richaun Holmes based on available guys in that mock.

[Eddie20]

I would go Portis, Upshaw, Andrew Harrison, Richaun Holmes based on available guys in that mock.

I don't like either of the Harrison's, much less at #33.

[Evantime34]

I wouldn't be upset with Portis and Upshaw. They would immediately be two of our best defensive bigs. Rozier would be a great get int he second round. It would be better if we picked an international guy with our 4th pick, since having 4 rookies on the team is a non starter.

[Geo123]

There is no way if they keep all of their picks (which I don't think they will) that they don't at least take 1 foreign player to stash. 

[mef730]

I'd take it.  Here's my question: Where would Lyles have gone if he had been a starting 4 somewhere?

Mike

I just think experience, decent shooting, good size, position flexability and athleticism makes him a good pickup. Would like the four guys that went before 33 but have to go by that mock. Harrison is the next bpa.

while if this came true on draft night it would be hard to complain but adding yet another PF with the top pick?  hoping we can move up a bit to get Turner or Johnson.   That AB for Utah #12 deal is looking very appetizing to me.

I think upgrading the 4 spot should be a priority for this team, especially if Jerebko and Bass are not resigned.
