Ok, so I wanted this to be the game thread but some dude stole my idea. I'm having a 12 person family dinner at Chickie's and Pete's that will be running up to draft time, but my brothers and I will be out of there as soon as possible. I figured that since there were a million things that happened since Tanner and I went to work on our big 2 round mock that it was time to pump out another one. There are infants running around and I'm making everyone late for dinner, so I apologize if it's not up to journalistic par. I'll be updating throughout. Hit the jump.
1. LAC - Griffin Blake Griffin
2. Mem - Thabeet Hasheem Thabeet
3. OKC - Harden James Harden
4. SAC - Rubio Tyreke Evans
5. Minn - Curry Ricky Rubio
6. Minn - DeRozan Jonny Flynn
7. GS - Hill Stephen Curry

18. Minn - James Johnson Ty Lawson (Traded to Denver for 2010 1st round pick)
19. Atl - Jennings Jeff Teague
20. Utah - Maynor Eric Maynor
21. NO - Ellington Darren Collison
22. Por - Teague Victor Claver
23. Sac - Budinger Omri Casspi
24. Dal - Mills BJ Mullens
25. OKC - Collison Rodrigue Beaubois
26. Chi - Daye Taj Gibson (to OKC for Thabo Sefolosha)
27. Mem - Gibson
28. Minn - Casspi
29. NY - Summers
30. Cle - Sam Young
ROUND TWO - NBAdraft.net deleted my mock somehow, so I don't know all my second round picks. Here are a few that will undoubtedly be wrong.
31. Sac - Derrick Brown
32. Was - Jeff Pendergraph
33. Por - Jonas Jerebko
34. Den -
35. Det - Marcus Thornton
36. Mem -

44. Det - Robert Dozier
45. Min - Chris Johnson
46. Pho - Tyrese Rice
47. Min - Emir Preldzic
48. Pho -
49. Atl - Jodie Meeks

54. Cha -
55. Por -
56. Dal -
57. Pho - Jon Brockman
58. Bos -
59. LA - Garrett Siler
60. Mia -
Here's my best shot, I've already tanked after going 3-3 to start. We'll see how little knowledge I have as the draft goes on. It's a crapshoot, but man do I enjoy it.

Yeah well he has ‘red flags’ – plus i have a suspicion that skipping college was frowned upon and some folk wnat to teach him (and anyone else) a lesson about going to europe and making money before David Stern wants to allow you to.
I find this tyreke evans thing much more fascinating though – hell i didn’t even know aobut his involvement in a murder until today – did you?

Yeah, when I read that today I was fascinated how he skated scott free without a single charge – and yet no red flags against him for ‘behavior’ – yet jennings? All smells so hypocritical to me – jennings was just being a kid.
BTW Jordan – I’m going to apologize in advance if you have to delete any of my posts tonight – I just got yelled at by both my sisters so i’m having a crap ass afternoon :)

Simmons is a columnist, a writer, who enjoys sports, Hollinger is someone who analyzes basketball for a living.
No offense to the ‘sports guy’ but his opinion on anything substantive matters to me as much as my dogs.

That’s exactly why they went back though – to get more moeny from you folks – coincidence that ‘new jerseys’ (even old school ones) in a bad economy? Of course not – it’s going to boost their bottom line all the folks who feel they have to buy the new jerseys.
Don’t do it

Very nervous.
This draft is so important. Lots of talent, but also lots of potential to foolishly pass up certain players if several good ones are left.
I want Maynor. I have from the start. But, hopefully, if we don’t get him, I will pleased with who we do get.

What does everyone think of the Shaq/Cavs move?
I think the Cavs needed a piece or two to be Lakers-good, or championship-win-good, but I don’t think Shaq is enough. He’s injury-prone for one, and getting older. They need more.

Chad Ford says...
Holiday can take a huge sigh of relief. He slipped a bit, not because of his talent, but because of some concerns about a shoulder injury that were just enough to scare some teams away, a la what happened to Danny Granger with mild concerns about his knee a few years ago. This is a great pick for Philly, which gets a lottery talent at 17 and has its point guard of the future.
by jsams on Jun 25, 2009 6:26 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
No one's saying he doesn't have potential
And it is great value for us at 17. But not for this team. He’s not a guy that will help us right away, and that’s unfortunate. Lawson and Maynor could have helped us immediately, and this is why this pick bums me out.

I just signed on now...
but i wanted to say that it makes sense taking whichever guard was the highest on the board talent wise. Who cares if Jrue cant help us that much this year if he can the following year (like Thad). I really wouldve liked Lawson (or Jennings who was in the same category as JH being a great talent that could slip), but in every sport I love value picks. He’ll at least help out our perimeter defense this year if nothing else. He should be a good scorer and thats what EJ likes, at least judging from his Washington teams. The Princeton offense doesnt necessarily need a pure PG either…everyone on the floor should be a solid passer for the most part. And theres no reason JH wont develop good PG skills either.
Now lets go out and get a nice value 2nd rounder too. PLEAsE BE DIONTEEEEEEEEEEE (I go to Temple)
