2007 NBA MOCK DRAFT

1. Portland- KEVIN DURANT PG/SG/SF/PF/C TEXAS
Damn, Kevin… what can’t you do?!??! BENCH 185 POUNDS!!!

2. Seattle- GREG ODEN C OHIO STATE
BIG FOOT!!! NOW IN SEATTLE!!!

3. Atlanta- MIKE CONLEY PG OHIO STATE
Look. They can’t possibly have another need for a FORWARD.

4. Memphis- AL HORFORD PF/C FLORIDA
Start crying, Pau. You’re still playing Center.

5. Boston- YI JIANILAN PF CHINA
Great PR move for an awful team. Trade the farm for Kobe Bryant, pre-draft, or get a bargain in Paul Pierce before the trade deadline?

6. Milwaukee- BRANDON WRIGHT PF UNIVERISTY OF NORTH CAROLINA
He has a long reach… and that’s what this pick is; A long reach.

7. Minnesota– COREY BREWER G/F FLORIDA
No offense. Plenty of defense. No ego. The anti-Ricky Davis.

8. Charlotte- JOAKIM NOAH PF FLORIDA

He can step in those 44 games Emeka Okafur misses.

9. Chicago- SPENCER HAWES C WASHINGTON
Fans claim to be a post presence away from the Finals? We’ll see.

10. Sacramento- JULIAN WRIGHT F KANSAS
Think about this… Does Artest stay in any one place for long?

Keep thinking…
Exactly… Now onto the rest of the lottery…

11. Atlanta- AL THORNTON F FLORIDA STATE
Harrington? Thornton? Whatever… they got Conley.

12. Philadelphia- JASON SMITH PF COLORADO
They need a PF and penguin arms is the pick.

13. New Orleans- NICK YOUNG SG UNIVERISTY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Whom they wish JR Smith would have been…

14. LA Clippers- ACIE LAW IV PG TEXAS A&M
Cassell? Livingston? GET ELTON BRAND RELIABLE HELP!!!

15. Detroit- THADDEUS YOUNG G/F
GEORGIA
TECH
Cleveland exposed their lack of young depth… especially in the backcourt.
16. Washington – JEFF GREEN F
GEORGETOWN
He knows the Princeton offense. He’s local. He’s a steal.

17. New Jersey- SEAN WILLIAMS F/C
BOSTON COLLEGE

How’s the weed in Jersey?

18. Golden State- MORRIS ALMOND G/F RICE
With Baron Davis… he’ll be averaging 20 plus, in no time.

19. LA Lakers- DERRICK BYARS G/F VANDERBILT

Toughness… shooting… maturity… He wants to be the man, and he just may be, if Kobe keeps crying.

20. Miami- JAVARIS CRITTENTON PG G

EORGIA TECH
Gary Payton and Jason Williams are motivated, no longer.

21. Philadelphia- RODNEY STUCKEY G EASTERN WASHINGTON
Instant offense.

22. Charlotte- RUDY FERNANDEZ SG SPAIN
SG problems are almost fixed, now.


23. New York- DAEQUAN COOK G
OHIO STATE
They’ve stated they’ll take a ‘chance’ and someone they can ‘wait a year for’. Cook is talented, but you’ll surely have to wait for him to put it all together.


24. Phoenix- TIAGO SPLITTER C
BRAZIL
They can afford to wait a year.

25. Utah- MARCO BELINELLI SG ITALY
Utah’s out in Europe… Spendin’ EUROoooooooooo’s

26. Houston – ARRON AFFLALO SG UCLA
Think Shane Battier at the 2… with a deadly mid-range game. Wipe your tears away, T-Mac.

27. Detroit- GABE PRUITT PG UNIVERISTY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Forget about Chauncey Billups… How long will Lindsey Hunter play?

28. San Antonio- JARED DUDLEY F BOSTON COLLEGE
His intensity and tenacity will make for a good Sports Illustrated NBA Finals Champions Special Offer! Feature…

29. Phoenix- MARCUS WILLIAMS G ARIZONA
They never really did replace Joe Johnson… They don’t here, but at least they tried.

30. Philadelphia- AARON GRAY C PITTSBURGH
He’s 7’2”? That makes him worth a shot with the last pick of the draft.
