※ [本文轉錄自 NCAA 看板] 作者: willyt (優質ㄌㄔ世界一流) 看板: NCAA 標題: Mock by Chad Ford 時間: Thu Jun 25 19:34:06 2009 1. LAC | Blake Griffin / Oklahoma / PF Analysis: This is a bit of a messy scenario because the Clippers already have a very expensive power forward in Zach Randolph. Griffin is better, but Randolph's contract will be almost impossible to move. Griffin has said he would make the best of any situation and would be happy in Los Angeles. But I'm not sure the Clippers' situation was exactly what he had in mind. 2. MEM | Hasheem Thabeet / Connecticut / C Analysis: An NBA source told me today that Memphis was the one team that might take Thabeet instead of Griffin if it were to get the No. 1 pick -- that's how much the Grizzlies need size. So it seems likely they would take Thabeet ahead of Rubio. Marc Gasol was good last year, but he's more of an offensive player than a defensive player. But Rubio remains an option here, and he might be a better long-term fit than Thabeet. 3. OKC | Ricky Rubio / Spain / PG Analysis: The Thunder will have an easy choice here if Rubio is still on the board. Russell Westbrook can play off the ball, and he and Rubio would give the Thunder one of the best young backcourts in the NBA. Neither guy is a great shooter, but they have Kevin Durant for that. If the Grizzlies take Rubio, Oklahoma City will have a tough choice between Thabeet and James Harden. 4. SAC | Jordan Hill / Arizona / PF Analysis: The Kings are the big losers in the draft lottery, falling all the way to No. 4. They would've loved Griffin, Thabeet or Rubio. After that, it starts to get sketchy. Hill would give them toughness and energy in the frontcourt, and they could use that. But don't be surprised if UCLA's Jrue Holiday sneaks in here. The Kings will bring him in on Wednesday. Point guard is their biggest need and the Kings are high on Holiday. 5. WAS | James Harden / Arizona State / SG Analysis: The Wizards have to be hurting a little, falling to No. 5, but actually Harden would be a great fit. He's one of the most NBA-ready players in the draft and would be a great backcourt mate with Gilbert Arenas. The team will look at Tyreke Evans and DeMar DeRozan, too, but I think Harden is the obvious pick here. 6. MIN | DeMar DeRozan / USC / SG Analysis: The Wolves thought they had filled their need for a small forward when they drafted Corey Brewer, but he has been injured and has been a disappointment even when healthy. DeRozan has as much upside as anyone else in the draft -- he's an athletic marvel who can play the 2 and the 3, and he's more potent on the offensive end than Brewer. 7. GS | Brandon Jennings / Italy / PG Analysis: Drafting Jennings would be a swing for the fences by a team lacking a traditional point guard. He wasn't great in Italy this year, but he has all the raw tools to be a terrific backcourt mate for Monta Ellis for years to come. 8. NY | Stephen Curry / Davidson / PG Analysis: Love him or hate him, Curry would be a good fit in Mike D'Antoni's run-and-gun offense. Curry has the two elements essential for a D'Antoni guard: a terrific jump shot and high basketball IQ. 9. TOR | Tyreke Evans / Memphis / SG Analysis: Evans' ability to penetrate and finish at the basket would make him an excellent complement to the Raptors' perimeter-oriented bigs. With Anthony Parker heading to free agency in the summer, it's time for an upgrade in the backcourt. DeJuan Blair and Jrue Holiday would be good options as well. 10. MIL | Jrue Holiday / UCLA / PG Analysis: The Bucks face the possibility of losing free agents Charlie Villanueva and Ramon Sessions this summer, which would leave holes at the point and power forward. Given that, they might have a tough decision between Holiday, who has the all-around skill set to step in and play immediately, and DeJuan Blair, who could provide some real toughness on the front line. Holiday's upside combined with his defensive abilities should give him the edge here. 11. NJ | James Johnson / Wake Forest / PF Analysis: Nets general manager Rod Thorn has said he needs a moose, and he should be able to find one at No. 11. The Nets have needs at both forward positions and could face a tough decision between two tough guys, Blair and Johnson. In the end, Johnson's athleticism and versatility probably would earn him the nod in New Jersey. 12. CHA | Gerald Henderson / Duke / SG Analysis: Since shipping Jason Richardson to Phoenix last season, the Bobcats have needed a long-term solution at 2-guard. Raja Bell played well but can't hold down the fort forever. Offensively, when Henderson is on, he's great. When he's off, it's ugly. But first and foremost, Bobcats coach Larry Brown should appreciate that Henderson is a terrific on-the-ball defender all the time. 13. IND | Jonny Flynn / Syracuse / PG Analysis: The Pacers' biggest need is an athletic big man with shot-blocking ability. Unfortunately, none of those guys is likely to be available. With Jarrett Jack heading into free agency, Indiana could end up focusing on the point guard position, and it would have a lot of options. Flynn is the hot name right now. He has the toughness and the swagger, but he would duplicate T.J. Ford to a degree. Eric Maynor and Ty Lawson also could get a look here. 14. PHO | Earl Clark / Louisville / SF Analysis: Clark could be the second coming of Shawn Marion if he's willing to play hard every night. The versatile forward can play both the 3 and the 4, and he's amazing in transition, an excellent rebounder, an emerging shooter and capable of playing outstanding defense, even if he's not always inclined to do so. 15. DET | Austin Daye / Gonzaga / SF Analysis: The Pistons will begin their summer makeover in the draft. They'd love to add a dominant low-post scorer, particularly a center, but they aren't likely to find anyone who fits the bill. Blair could fit because of his nastiness in the paint, but the Pistons just gave a similar player, Jason Maxiell, a big contract, and it's no secret that they are looking long and hard at Carlos Boozer and Paul Millsap, both of whom have the opportunity to leave Utah. Daye could be the most talented player left on the board at this point. Adding him to the squad would be a move for the future, as he has the potential to be great someday. He has a pure game but needs to get stronger and more assertive. 未完待續 -- Tell me what you think about your friends at the top. Who'd you think besides yourself's the pick of the crop?
