Though I like the fact that you made a mock draft, I feel that guys like Felton(way to high, btw), McCants, and Frye need another year.

Felton needs to develop some type of long shot, McCants needs to try and play some defense, and I don't even see Frye being in the first round next year.

I'm looking for Luol Deng and Julius Hodge to jump in. If Wake goes to the Final Four, I wouldn't be surprised if Chris Paul declares. He's the best point guard in college basketball, in my opinion.

Felton said he won't be declaring, at least for now he won't, but who knows.

Jameer just one Naismith Player of the Year. He's gonna go way higher than 13.

Also, if UConn wins the NCAAs, I say Okafor's a lock for number one.

If i was cleveland I would actually take Peter Warrick, let him slot right into the small forward position immediately

8. Cleveland Cavaliers -- Raymond Felton, PG, North Carolina

10. Miami Heat -- Ivan Chiariev, SF/PF, Russia

No, both them teams will make the playoffs
well i know Heat i just hope Cavs do.

and why would cleveland take another pg when they have mcinnis,wagner and lebron i guess.

If i was cleveland I would actually take Peter Warrick, let him slot right into the small forward position immediately

Who's he? I've heard of Hakim Warrick who has just as good of athleticism as anyone in the leauge, but not this guy. Hakim's supposed to be lottery if he goes, though his skills are raw for a junior.

lol i meant hakim. i dont know why i said peter i must be thinking of the wide reciever for the bengals .. but he has got alot of athletic ability, but from what ive seen (and it isnt much, i must admit) he does have some nice post moves and a good touch from mid range. He could easily be the starting sf for the cavs

Hakim is the guy who got the clutch block in last years NCAA championship match

this is a much better mock draft than the one i quoted, i agree with most of it, if deng enters i see him coming before livingston.

I prefer THIS site better though. It's way more in-depth, plus you don't have to pay subscription to some of that shit that NBADraft has.

thanks for the link, havent looked through it yet, but looks a lot 'cleaner'

Yeah somebody told me about draftcity.com a few days ago.. it's heaps better than nbadraft.net... the scourt reports there are awesome... i feel like i know the top 10 players' game even though i haven't actually seen them play.

DISCLAIMER: Draftcity.com did NOT pay me to say that.

Anyways, i think Okafur would be the safest first pick. Dwight is more of a project.

Also there's no way Pavel would go 3rd. thats just a waste of a pick.
