MY mock draft 2005

[washingtonbsktll]

Well i made up my own mock draft in my Wizards dynasty. I've been eyeing this draft for the past few days and wanted to see if my perdictions would be correct after tonight. You can compare mine to DBs if you want but i am adding up players right now as well. Here's the link

Portland doesn't need another center.

Pretty solid mock through #1-5, but I have two knocks on it. Deron Williams is the top-ranked PG in this draft, so there is no way Atlanta would select Paul if he's still on the board. The same holds true with Marvin Williams and Portland.

All in all, I see you're buying into the whole Blazers smokescreen as much as I am.

EDIT: Hakim Warrick can play the center position? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he 6-8 and the prototypical tweener?

[washingtonbsktll]

I read that the Blazers are in love with Bynum. They do need a center cause Teho Ratliff is old and they really have no one to depend on. I may be worng cause i dont watch the blazers unless they play the Wizards. They may trade with Utah and Charlotte.

That statement is correct. Bynum is a 7'0", 290 lb wrecking ball with adequate mid-range game, so the Blazers can't go wrong in taking him with #6 (although I believe drafting Gerald Green or Martell Webster would be safer considering there's no real two-guard in Portland).

I thought that the Lakers had the 10th pick. And I doubt that the Lakers first priority is the PG I would have to say it is a center.

[BstnRdSx]

Rookie running the point in a triangle offense = bad

[Freak93]

I have to agree. I would also like to see the Lakers get rid of Lamar Odom. Trade him away. I think that Chucky Atkins would be okay even if it was just to start the season.

[washingtonbsktll]

I think Odom needs another chance. Don't get rid of him. Plus, Phil Jackson may switch up the offense to fit Felton but that's just me.

[Freak93]

I don't know. I just think we need to trade Lamar to get someone who would fit better. It is not like Lamar is a bad player I just don't think he would work good with the Lakers. Also, what if Phil puts him out like he did to Kobe. When everything went good, it was the team. When something went bad, it was Kobe. If Phil does that to Lamar Odom, I really don't think that Lamar Odom would be able to handle it.

[washingtonbsktll]

so you're treating Phil like a bully? I think all those titles got to his head and he has a big ego. I think he was only good and successful because of the players that were on his team when he was coaching hence Chicago(Jordan, Pippen, Kerr, Rodman, etc.) and the Lakers(Shaq, Kobe, Fisher, Horry, Fox, etc.)

I want to see him build a team that does not have a star talented roster. I don't think Kobe is a bad guy and doesn't deserve the blame for Shaq leaving L.A. and Phil. Heck, kobe could of left L.A. as well.

[Freak93]

Phil did bully Kobe. He put him on the outside. That is why I blame him for the Lakers getting split up. It may have been his coaching style, I don't know. I bet you when he comes back that someone will be on the outside looking in. And if it is Lamar Odom, I don't know if Lamar would be able to handle it. I do have to agree that Phil was lucky with all of those players. But you have to say they were all talented but who helped them work together correctly?

[detroitbasketball]

No offense man, but that draft isn't that good. It's convoluted, Hakim Warrick is anything but a center, and you dropped players way too far (Danny Granger?)

[washingtonbsktll]

man, this is my first mock draft so I got some things wrong but I got some things right as well(YES!). I thought Warrick was a PF/C so I was wrong.

[Bibby10]

very wrong indeed. Wellin my Lakers chise (wen 06 comes out) I will most likely trade Odom for an true PG...

[detroitbasketball]

So now we go back and tell everyonre how crummy their mock was? Nobody cares.

[Bibby10]

of course thats where the fun is

[BstnRdSx]

Quit acting like a retard, nub.

[Bibby10]

oh u got me again
