[B Sox]

B Sox Mock Draft (4 hours prior to draft)

Spoiler: Mock Draft

1. Minnesota- Anthony Edwards. Highest upside in the draft and fits seamlessly with DLo and KAT.
2. Golden State- James Wiseman. Highest upside for a big in the draft. Fills position of need.
3. Charlotte- Lamelo Ball. Higher upside than their current backcourt. Needs a lot of things to go right to reach ceiling though.
4. Chicago- Deni Avdija. Team needs a playmaking wing and he’s the best one in the draft.
5. Cleveland- Obi Toppin. Better Kuzma?
6. Atlanta- Tyrese Haliburton. Perfect secondary playmaker to pair with Trae.
7. Detroit- Patrick Williams. Team needs everything and he has the highest upside on the board. Potential to be a really nice 2 way player.
8. New York- Devin Vassell. Best 3 and D in draft. Not exactly what the Knicks dreamed of getting but he’ll be a winning player for them at a position of need.
9. Washington- Onyeka Okongwu. Seamless fit. Could be best big in the draft.
10. Phoneix- Killian Hayes. Best PG on the board that can learn behind CP but also play alongside given his size and defensive potential.
11. San Antonio- Isaac Okoro. BPA.
12. Sacramento- Aaron Nesmith. Bogdanovic replacement.
13. New Orleans- Tyrese Maxey. Game resembles Jrue Holiday.
14. Boston- RJ Hampton. Highest upside guard/wing on the board.
15. Orlando- Kira Lewis Jr. Best PG available.
16. Houston- Tyrell Terry. Best shooter available that could develop into a starting PG.
17. Minnesota- Precious Achiuwa. Multi-positional defender to pair with KAT. Should get easy buckets offensively with passing of DLo/KAT.
18. Dallas-Saddiq Bey. 3 and D.
19. Brooklyn- Desmond Bane. 3 and D that can be effective with low usage.
20. Miami- Jalen Smith. Highest offensive upside of any big in draft other than Wiseman.
21. Philadelphia- Cole Anthony. Ball handler and shot creator with good pedigree.
22. Denver- Isaiah Stewart. Team needs another big with both Milsap and Plumlee potentially gone.
23. New York- Malachi Flynn. Best PG available.
24. New Orleans- Jaden McDaniels. Swing for the fences.
25. Oklahoma City- Aleksej Pokusevski. No brainer swing for the fences.
26. Boston- Leandro Bolmaro. Stash. Ball handler/great passer with upside.
27. Utah- Theo Maledon. Potential PG of the future to take over for Conley.
28. Oklahoma City- Zeke Nnaji. Productive big with offensive upside.
29. Toronto- Jordan Nwora. Good shooter with size.
30. Boston- Xavier Tillman. Daniel Theis clone.

Aaron Baynes backup big

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Dallas could use more defense. If you're going to go with offense, get a player who can create for others
