Boris and Natasha's βCrystal Ballβ Mock Draft
The lottery
Currently it SHOULD be
Nets
Hornets
Bucks
Spurs
Blazers
Hawks
Thunder
Suns
Rockets
Grizzlies
Pistons
Wizards
It WILLLLLL BE:
Hornets select
Jimmy Butler
SG 6'7'' 230 22 B- B- C+ B C A
This guy will be A A+ B+ A C at the end of the day and if moved to SF might even end up with B+ rebounds. An unstoppable force that teams just will not be able to stop from taking over a game.
Suns Select
Klay Thompson
SG 6'6'' 215 21 C A- D+ B C- A
Suns make Klay the second pick because they know how Spence feels about the GSW. Eventually he will be C+ A C A C+. When he shots he will score, but he will not be a scorer, without a lot of luck and perfect camps.
Bucks via Detroit Select
Kyrie Irving
PG 6'2'' 195 19 B- B C C C- A
In a league starved of elite PG, this guy likes flat surfaces such as the court, to show off how good he is with round objects like the ball and the hoop. His weakness is an utter inability to track down a rebound as he assumes everything he puts up will go in. Eventually he will be A A+ B+ B- C-
Nets select
Kawhi Leonard
SF 6'7'' 225 20 B C+ C B+ C A
Kawhi is the guy you want out on the wing, a true shutdown kind of guy that has a great ability to get to the rim. Eventually he will be B+ B+ B A+ B-
Bucks Select
Kemba Walker
PG 6'0'' 184 21 C+ B- C+ C+ C- A
Here the Bucks go with the BPA knowing they can trade one of them in a nice package. Getting the two best PG in the draft puts them in the driver seat. When Kemba scores he scores in bunches. I was at the game he scored 60 vs the 6ers, what a fun game that was. Eventually he will be B A B B C.
Spurs select
Derrick Williams
PF 6'8'' 240 20 B+ C D+ C+ C A
Because he is the best prospective big man in the draft. He is eventually gonna be a star for the Spurs, but he will take a few seasons to get there. Eventually he will be A+ C+ C- B B, throwing down 20+ a night and 10 boards a game.
Blazers Select
Nikola Vucevic
C 6'10'' 260 21 B- B- C B- B- B
Draft is thinning out here, but the Blazers still get a solid guy in Nikola. Eventually he will be B+ B C+ B B+, and will do double doubles nightly.
Hawks Select
Bismack Biyombo
C 6'8'' 255 19 C D+ D+ B+ C+ B
Bismark goes cause they know heβs gonna be a STOCKS gem. Drive the basket and he will swat it away. Eventually he will be C C C A B+. Wont score a lot but also wont take shots away from the Hawks scorers.
Thunder Select
Reggie Jackson
PG 6'2'' 208 21 C B B C C- B
Reggie is gonna smack it out of the park in Oklahoma becoming a home run pick with the hidden 100 pot eventually elevating him to an eventual B A+ A B+ C rating.
Rockets Select
Bojan Bogdanovic
SF 6'7'' 226 22 B- B+ C- C C- B
Bojan comes in from Europe ready to play now, but he will get even better. Eventually he will be a 20 a night scorer as his ratings will end up B+ A C C+ C. A great pick this late in the draft, for a team that needs a win now type of player.
Grizzlies select
Tristan Thompson
PF 6'9'' 254 20 C+ D+ C- B- B- B
With the lottery winding down, itβs time to get the substance available at pick number 10. Tristian will eventually be B C+ C+ A- B+, which at this state of the draft will be great big guy that defends and boards.
Finally, the Wizards select
Jan Vesely
PF 6'11'' 240 21 C D- D+ B- C+ A
Jan has a lot of promise , the question is will it pan out or will this be a waisted pick. Jan thinks he is the second coming of Blake Griffin and his playing style in Europe has been compared to Dirk N. Eventually he will become the surprise pick of the draft and be B+ C+ C+ B+ B and give double doubles every night.
