Mock Draft V.7

Here is my final Mock Draft with explanations for the Lottery picks...

1. Clippers- Blake Griffin PF 6-10 250 Oklahoma
Big Surprise here, this is as big a lock as what they use over at Fort Knox.

2. Grizzlies- Hasheem Thabeet C 7-3 265 UCONN
My sources (I always love saying that) think that the Grizzlies have given up on trading the #2 pick and have settled on Thabeet as their new big man.

3. Thunder- James Harden SG 6-5 225 Arizona St.
This is where things start to get a little shaky, there is a good chance this will be Harden as the thunder seem to be only lacking a wing who can score in bunches and a Shot Blocking big man ie. Thabeet, with the latter already gone, Harden to me seems like the logical choice. Although...Rubio has been rumored to be a Sam Presti turn on and as such they have reportedly hired a prestigious law firm in Barcelona Spain to try to begin working on Rubious large buyout(reportedly 6 Mill).

4. Kings- Tyreke Evans SG 6-5 220 Memphis
From what i understand the Kings have Ricky Rubio at the top of their Draft board with Tyreke Evans as a Close second, there is a good chance that despite Rubio being available they may still pull the trigger on Evans...

5. Wolves- Ricky Rubio PG 6-4 180 Spain
The Wolves really want Hasheem Thabeet and Ricky Rubio, that has been their plan all along, they'll be really happy when Rubio falls to them here.

6. Wolves- Stephen Curry SG 6-3 180 Davidson
Curry is a hot name in this draft and could go anywhere from 3-8 depending on whom you ask, i think he falls to Minnesota here and they get their dream backcourt.

7. Warriors- Jordan Hill PF 6-11 235 Arizona
From all accounts the Warriors have promised this pick to Jordan Hill, i fully expect that promise to be fulfilled.

8. Knicks- Jrue Holiday PG 6-4 200 UCLA
The Knicks have been trying to secure Stephen Curry this entire time, however with him off the board, they move on to the next best Point Guards, they have Jrue Holiday and Brandon Jennings at the top of their board, from what i hear, Jrue blew them away at the last workout and as such moved to the top.

9. Raptors- DeMar DeRozan SG 6-7 215 USC
The Raptors have had their eye on both Stephen Curry and DeMar DeRozan from the get go, i fully expect them to take DeRozan.

10. Bucks- Jonny Flynn PG 6-0 195 Syracuse
The Bucks could go three ways, from what i hear their Board is as follows: 1. Holiday, 2. Jonny Flynn, 3. Jeff Teague...im pretty sure that this will be Flynn at this point, he also would not be adverse to playing in a cold climate town...

11. Nets- Terrence Williams SF 6-6 220 Louisville
The Nets have had their minds on Jonny Flynn, Terrence Williams and Tyler Hansbrough, since flynn is gone, im almost positive this will be TWill, unless they decide to trade down to select the Hyper Athletic Phsyco T.

12. Bobcats- Gerald Henderson SF 6-5 215 Duke
The Bobcats have had their eyes on Gerald Henderson and Terrence Williams from the Get go, but at this point have made the leap to promise this spot to TWill if he is available, as he is not, Henderson appears to be the selection.

13. Pacers- Ty Lawson PG 6-0 200 North Carolina
The Pacers have had their eyes on Jonny Flynn and Jrue Holiday for Quite some time, but with neither available and i think they will take the next best point guard available, and to me that would be Ty Lawson

14. Suns- Earl Clark SF 6-10 230 Louisville
Its no secret the Suns like versatility and a big man who can step outside and shoot, this pick will be either Earl Clark or Austin Daye, pure and simple...

15. Pistons- DaJuan Blair PF 6-8 265 Pittsburgh
16. Bulls- James Johnson PF 6-8 255 Wake Forest
17. 76ers- Brandon Jennings PG 6-1 170 USA
18. Wolves- BJ Mullens C 7-0 255 Ohio St.
19. Hawks- Jeff Teague PG 6-2 175 Wake Forest
20. Jazz- Tyler Hansbrough PF 6-9 235 North Carolina
21. Hornets- Chase Budinger SF 6-7 210 Arizona
22. Blazers- Omri Casspi SF 6-9 215 Israel
23. Kings- Austin Daye SF 6-10 200 Gonzaga
24. Mavs- Eric Maynor SG 6-3 170 VCU
25. Thunder- Josh Heytvelt PF 6-10 250 Gonzaga
26. Bulls- Sam Young SG 6-6 220 Pittsburgh
27. Grizzlies- Derrick Brown SF 6-8 225 Xavier
28. Wolves- Jonas Jerebko SF 6-9 220 Sweden
29. Knicks- Jack McClinton SG 6-1 185 Miami
30. Cavs- DaJuan Summers PF 6-9 245 Georgetown
