Its an extremely commonly known site. Google NBA mock draft and its the very first site that pops up. I look at it occasionaly. They change their mock every day which is nice, so a couple days before the draft they usually have a lot of the picks correct. However, my mock for last years draft was more accurate then theirs was. :wink:

I must admit, Indy is pretty good at his mocks....he obviously can get more coverage due to being in States, but also has his ear to the ground....he always said Julius Hodge would be a 1st Rounder & he was....I didn't doubt that at the time, I just didn't think he would pan out....his circumstances haven't been normal, but he could still go alright....

as for mocks, I can't remember if Indy had Bynum going to the Lakers 2 years ago, but I do remember I was one of few who thought Lakers would take a gamble :P

They don't usually update it to fit with team needs until almost draft time.

I was shocked by that pick, as were most. I was sure the Lakers would take Granger if he wasn't gone yet. Let's just say I'm happy they didn't. :D

Yeah that's what I thought too up untill 2 days before the draft. I heard that the Raptors were planning to take Charlie because they were worried about Danny's knees. There was speculation that LA would take him, and if not LA then definitley Orlando. The Magic ended up taking Fran Vazquez. Hilarious.

as I watched it, I couldn't believe it....both him & Gerald Green slid bigtime....I thought Lakers, you have to pick Granger....okay, Magic, you have to pick Granger....is anyone going to take Granger?!? Looks like Pacers lucked out....and Celtics got bargain on Green that late....although teaches Green a lesson for not working out against other prospects....

even though I'm here in Aussie, I came to know of Granger through following Bogut in the MWC....I knew that although Bogut was Player of the Year in country, he was barely the Player of the MWC as Granger was playing bigtime for New Mexico (something like 20+ppg, 10rpg, 2spg, 2bpg & some assists)....

Ugh, don't remind me. I find it so ironic that the bright-spot for that year turned out to be Villanueva, whom the Raptors drafted with the seventh pick and was shortly showered with boos by Raptor fans. They then applauded the Graham pick, whom everyone thought would be an immediate NBA-ready player but was just another athletic specimen built like a tank who can't utilize his talents because of his lack of finesse.

I always loved Granger's versatility, it's absolutely ridiculous how solid all-around this kid is.

Defensive, all-around swingmen like Granger routinely go lower than projected, you always see stuff like Araujo going before Iguodala, or 28 NBA teams taking a pass on Josh Howard.

Teams love offense, which is why the Mike Dunleavy's will go #3 in the same draft that has Tayshaun Prince going 23 and Carlos Boozer 35.

That's all true but i ain't arguing with this because The Pistons ended up with Tayshaun and when you lok at this years draft i think it will be the same with one of the good big men defensive players slipping around to 15-20 or so, and i also think someone high profile like Noah will slip

Whoever the Bucks pick. Hopefully one of Brewer, Horford, Noah, Conley or Green.

Will naturally be interested in the development and transition to the NBA game with guys like Oden and Durant.
