Nets would pick Gordon at 10. He is exactly what we need.
We would take Robin Lopez at 21. He won't fall past us.

Yeah your mock is way off. No way does memphis ever take Bayless. I mean why ? He's a combo guard, and he's short. They already have 4 PG's on the team. No way Budinger goes that low. No way Portland lets Love go by them in favor of a Frog SF who is weak & soft. The Knicks take Mayo ? Oh that's great. That would guarantee that he'll be in Rikers within 6 months 
Bottom line is we need to wait til after Tuesday when the lottery is set. |

Preferably I would want the Magic to go Chalmers, Lawson, Thompson, or Lopez at 20. Since they are bigger "needs". Though I'd be like Rush.

sorry, but i hate the Kings pick. we have Artest, Salmons, Garcia and Sheldon Williams who can play SF. I don't see how we could pass on Deandre Jordan at that point, Mareese Speights, or Roy Hibbert at that point. we have no defensive inside presence and no true center. Hawes is a better fit at PF and hes more of an offensive player, but we'd really need a defensive stud in the middle at Center.

Since when can WIlliams play SF. He is too slow and unathletic for an NBA center, let alone an NBA SF.

Cavs would take Chase Budinger, not a guy like Douglas-Roberts who can't score at the NBA level...he doesn't have a shot, and we need a guard who can shoot. Budinger is the guy...but with Ferry as the Cavaliers GM, you can rest assured he'd pick an UDFA with the pick. I hope Ferry dies. It would help the franchise more than the arrival of LeBron james.

I think the kings get rid of Artest sometime next year, Williams is a PF, and i thnik Galinari is similar to Hedo Turkoglu and he can step in an start from day 1. A center would prolly be a good pick, but Speights isnt a true center either he is 6-10. Moore is a decent defensive center hell get some boards and some blocks then with another seven footer in hawes playing next to him i dont think they will be that horrible. Most teams just go BPA anyway in the NBA thats why most of my picks are the way they are

even if they get rid of Artest, Salmons was playing for him for awhile at the start of the season and he was averaging like 20/5/5/2, plus we signed him to a 5 year deal a couple years ago.
Moore is a stopgap for a couple years that we got, he has zero hops, hes super weak, and he isnt much of a defensive stopper other than being a hustle player. speights isnt a true center, i would much prefer Jordan or Hibbert, but Speights at least provides a big body who can bang down low and get boards and be a big guy in the middle who can compliment Hawes who is softer and more offensive oriented.
Personally Hibbert has been my pet favorite since very early in 2007 season but hes dropped a bit which is totally ok with me, because I would love to have him on the Kings, but im sure Petrie would pass on him for our 40th backup guard.
I know with Petrie's history hes probably going to draft Gallinaro and disappoint all the kings fans, just like he retardedly did when he drafted Douby over Rondo which was a colossal mistake cuz Douby is trash and everyone here hates him.

No he can't. Have you watched Williams play? He is big and slow. He has very little handling ability and he can't pass. He is considered too stiff to be good in the post, how is he going to play on the wing? It would be like saying Kendrick Perkins would play backup SF, it will never happen.
Also Artest is probably gone next year, and Salmons is more of a guard-forward combo. Garcia is decent, but i doubt that he will ever be all that good. He would probably be best served as a reserve.
That leaves you with a SF likely to be dealt, a guy who isn't fluid enough to play center (let alone SF), a tweener that is probably more SG than SF, and a player more likely suited for a reserve role.

Explain why the Clippers would pass up on a local product (Westbrook) and great potential player (Gallinari) for a guy taken about half-a-round too early.

I personally feel that Augustin is the best PURE PG in the draft. I dont think they go after Danillo cuz Thornton is the SF, and it was between Westbrook and Augustin.
I jus felt they take Augustin because they dont have a solid PG on the roster, but Westbrook is prolly the likely pick
