Grinder's 2015 Mock Draft

[Grinder]

I can't imagine Philly would pass on a guard (Russell) and draft ANOTHER big man, but, stranger things have happened.

I also think you have Dekker, and especially Tyus Jones waaaay to high.

48 hours and we'll know for sure.

Dekker, for me, has a lot of Gordon Hayward in his game without the aggressiveness offensively. I actually think Dekker has superior physical tools and could turn out to be a very good starting wing.

Agravanis better be drafted. He stayed in and he's much better than most of the college players in the draft. If he isn't drafted, then it fully exposes and proves an anti Greek agenda from the NBA.

He's a real ugly looking mother****er

Porzingis hasn't even worked out for Philadelphia.

[Sakkreth]

Good you dropped in.

Can Porzingis be of immediate impact this season, and can he be a superstar in 3-4 years in the NBA?

Team that drafts him better be patient

He can have some impact of the bench first year, but not much more than that. Superstar in 3-4 well yes, but it's a reach. If I had to make a guess I'd say he will turn out a decent starter border line all-star or all-star.

So in other words, about half the patience needed with Motiejunas.

Well Motiejunas obviously wasn't ready when he got drafted, but then he had no chances to prove himself for way too long. Only when injuries happened on Rockets roster he had a chance to prove himself and did immeadetly. Porzingis might not have the same character of training hard and improving while seeing no playing time, this is less likely to happen to him, but if it does he better have patience like Motiejunas did.

[Grinder]

Updated again. I think I've settled on the top 5. I'm going to make a bold call and say that my Sixers will actually make a rational decision and take Russell.

Edit: Since I didn't include player comparisons in the original post, I'll post some player comparisons by request.

So in other words, don't go to any NBA teams that hate European players.

Let's make a list.

#1 team that hates European players the most ----> Everyone knows that's the,

1. Rockets

and then?

I'm thinking the Blazers are next.

24. Cleveland

[Grinder]

What makes you think Milutinov goes in the first round? I mean, he's okay, but early-mid 2nd imo...

I think he's an early second rounder as well but with a team like Cleveland looking to possibly save cap space, they might just go international and draft and stash.

[Giaodollo]

Hezonja is now way falling to nine, I wish he fell to the Jazz but now way he is going past 6, maybe 7.
