Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 2206654, member: 5787"] [SIZE=6]Mock-Draft Part 2. The Remaining Picks.[/SIZE] Big props to DraftExpress.com for pretty much all of my scouting. #15: Portland: Derrick Walton, PG, Michigan. We love Shabazz, but he’s the only real backup behind Lillard. Walton’s stock rises after a strong postseason and provides Portland with more PG depth. #16: Chicago, Sterling Brown, SG, SMU. Chicago needs athletes and shooters. Isaiah Cannan and Anthony Morrow are so 1-dimensional and Sterling Brown is a deadly 3 point shooter (45%) and has great length (6’9 wingspan) at the SG position. He can make the big shot, and is well rounded in terms of his basketball game. He’s just not the best athlete. #17: Milwaukee, Kennedy Meeks, C, UNC. Milwaukee could use some help at center. Monroe isn’t a fit, Maker isn’t a center. I can see Meeks getting 15 minutes/game providing Milwaukee much needed beef. He can swallow up offensive boards and give Milwaukee more possessions. #18: Indiana, Moses Kingsley, C, Arkansas. Indiana is looking for a modern 4 and Kingsley could fit this role. Kingsley is 6’9 but his 7’2.5 wingspan helped him rip 7.6 boards and swat 2.5 blocks/game last season. In a limited role, he also shot 43.8% from 3, so a stretch-4 is a possibility for Kingsley. #19: Atlanta, Peter Jok, SG, Iowa. Intriguing wing prospect at 6'6 with a 6'9 frame. A do-it-all wing for Iowa who was a volume shooter (14.6 shots/game) and showed a major ability to draw fouls by attacking the rim (5.3 FTA/game, 91.1%). Good on the boards too (5.5 boards/game), but needs to work on handle (2.6/2.5 A/TO ratio). Very athletic. #20: Portland, Landen Lucas, PF/C, Kansas. Acquiring Nurkic was huge, but adding Lucas could provide Portland more center competition with Leonard not playing much and guys like Aminu and Harkless playing bigger than they should. Lucas is a no-nonsense player who can crash the boards and battle inside. #21: Oklahoma City, Kadem Allen, PG, Arizona. NBA size at 6’2 with a 6’9 wingspan, Allen can be another attempt by OKC to find a PG to spell Westbrook, but he has enough length to play off-guard and guard the 2. Good 3-point % at 42.7%. I would have preferred a safer ballhandler with Allen’s sketchy 3.0/1.9 A/TO ratio, but he’s the best player available now. #22: Brooklyn, Andrew White, SG, Syracuse. Brooklyn needs shooters and White shoots well (.506/.401/.837 ratios) and has the size (6’7 220) to be a good 3 and D player in the NBA. #23: Toronto, Isaiah Hicks, PF, UNC. Ibaka and Patterson are both UFAs, so Hicks provides much-needed power and strength in the interior. Unfortunately, his shooting range is very limited. #24: Utah, Deonte Burton, SF, Iowa State. I love Burton’s measurables: 6’4 266 with a 7’0 wingspan. Good shooting range and he can do a little bit of everything. #25: Orlando, Jake Wiley, PF, Eastern Washington. Jake Wiley helps give Orlando another big guy for bench depth. Only 6’7, but a 7’0 wingspan. 21.1p/9.2r/2.8a/2.8b. 64.1fg/82.4fa shows an ability to develop a mid-range game too. Interesting under-the-radar prospect. #26: Portland, Justin Tuoyo, PF, Chattanooga. Another stretch 4 to give Leonard competition. 6’9 with a 7’1 wingspan. Good 65.3/44.4/64.9 ratios and protected the rim with 2.7 blocks/game. #27: Brooklyn, Sidy Djitte, C, Clemson. Brooklyn could use a back up center for Lopez and Djitte has the dimensions of a Lopez-lite with a 6’10 height, 7’3 wingspan and 235 pound frame. Good on the offensive glass and he can defend in the post. Quick enough on his feet to handle smaller, faster 5s. #28: La Lakers, Jamal Artis, SF, Pittsburgh. Lakers have a need for interior defense and Arits’ 6’7 height and 6’10 length profiles him as a 3 and D guy. 39.2% from 3 and 54.5 FG% overall gives him some offensive potential as well. #29: Spurs, Antonius Cleveland, SG, SE Missouri St. Spurs need to replace Lee, Parker, Ginobili. Cleveland is my Ginobili clone. 6’6 195 with a 58.7% from 2-point and 41.2% from 3. Not afraid to crash the boards (5.2/game) and drive to the net (4.9 FT/game). #30: Utah Jazz, Malcolm Hill, SF, Illinois. Favors has been a major disappointment, but while Hill doesn’t have the pure size of Favors (6’6, 6’9 wing) he has enough beef (235) to be a modern 4. Very diverse profile with a .498/.358/.784 ratio, good handle (3 assists/game) and strong defense. [/QUOTE]
