OT - NBA draft predictions
Dakich.
Dakich wasn't on that team FYI.
Maybe he was in spirit?
Spike.
The 2012-2013 team actually had 6 future 1st round players with Levert.
If the Pistons take Joe Harris like Chad Ford predicted, I will be the diametric opposite of totally pissed off.
before the egg.
Wolvin living in KC and watching Wiggins play many times just no killer instinct at all. Great kid and all but I just do not see him growing into a stone cold killer. I would take Parker all day.
sign and trade Lance Stephenson for Nik Stauskas. Coming from my highly trusted, unnamed sources. Fire up the rumor mill.
My rumor about this sign and trade is a dig at all of ESPN's "unnamed sources" rumors. The sign and trade is just what I want to happen.
First, let me say that it will feel strange to not have the ceremonial Booing Of David Stern or his customary trolling of the audience for the first few seconds, but as for Michigan-centric predictions, the round distribution will be as follows:
- Stauskas and McGry go in the first round in that order.
- GRIII goes in the second round.
2-McGary
3-GR3
This way I can turn it off as soon as possible.
it'll be a wild night full of trades and head-scratching picks. I have Wiggins going first, Stauskas going 9th (before Harris at 14), McGary at 24 (if not, Ford is convinced he has a promise in the 20s, OKC is the other possibiliity) and Robinson reuniting with Burke in Utah at #35. I have Embiid off the board at #3, assuming the Sixers don't move their pick. I don't think they're in a hurry to win and can afford him being out until January or later. Have the Pistons taking UConn SF DeAndre Daniels at 38. Should be a good fit, although he might need some D-League time to both fill out and fine-tune his game.
Self promo alert, but my full mock draft is at the following links:
I would love to see the San Antonio draft Jordan with the last pick. I know it probably won't happen, but I would love to see it.

Just gonna dump this here. A look at how this could be the best Big Ten NBA Draft in well over a decade. Just need a few things to fall correctly:

will turn 19 within the next couple of weeks.
Does Stauskas win a 3 point contest during his career?
I would guess that McGary would fall out of the first round before Robinson. GRIII worked out for eighteen teams, and I'm sure his athleticism wowed one of them in the 20-30 range. I think all three will go in round one, but who knows with how NBA execs think.
as the Hornets best choice needing a shooter to offset its woeful perimeter game. So, unless Philly takes him, I suspect he goes to Charlotte. Nik visited four cities for team workouts and the Hornets were first on the list. MJ wasn't present but the coach who wants more size in the lineup and shooting ability, praised Staukas for possessing both during his visit. I think he becomes the first pick of the new Hornets era, and if they add McGary at 24 it would be a great night all-around. The franchise would have really improved itself with both choices in my opinion. Interestingly, Robinson also came through here and got some praise in the press.
The Pistons will select hometown favorite, Matteen Cleaves!
