MOCK DRAFT 1.0 by Mark Dea

1. Blake Griffin - Clippers: No Brainer, not even the Clips can mess this up
2. Ricky Rubio - T-Wolves (from Grizzlies): Rubio is an upgrade over Foye
3. Hasheem Thabeet - Thunder: Look out for this team for years to come
4. Tyreke Evans - Kings: Great complement to Kevin Martin
5. Jordan Hill - Grizzlies (from Minnesota): They could use the size
to go along with Mayo and Gay.
6. James Harden - T-Wolves: Rubio and Harden will form a great
backcourt for the rebuilding T-Wolves
7. Stephan Curry - Warriors: Look for this pick to be traded
8. DeMar Derozan - Knicks: DeRozan will bring excitement back to the Garden.
9. Jrue Holiday - Raptors: Holiday instantly becomes a starter with
the departure of Anthony Parker
10. Jonny Flynn - Bucks: Brings great leadership to a young Bucks team
11. Terrence Williams - Nets: They have to find a replacement for VC
12. Gerald Henderson - Bobcats: Larry Brown loves his athleticism
and energy. Being from the ACC does hurt either.
13. Jeff Teague - Pacers: Still looking for a long term answer at PG
14. Earl Clark - Suns: Gives the Suns some much needed size and
potential with the pending departure of Shaq and Amare
15. BJ Mullens - Pistons: They need youth and size up front.
Unfortunately they will need to wait a couple of years to reap the
benefits.
16. Dejuan Blair - BUlls: Desperately need a low post scorer.
17. Brandon Jennings - 76ers: Left handed Allen Iverson? Scoring
point guard w/ me first attitude.
18. Ty Lawson - Grizzlies (from Minnesota): Lawson allows Mayo to
slide over to SG and do what he does best, score.
19. James Johnson - Hawks: Size is desperately needed for the young Hawks.
20. Tyler Hansbrough - Jazz: Like a match made in heaven for Jerry Sloan.
21. Austin Daye - Trailblazers (Hornets): Look for the Hornets to
sell and the Blazers are always looking to buy another 1st Rounder.
22. Eric Maynor - Mavericks: Need a PG for the future to replace the
aging Kidd.
23. DeJuan Summers - Kings: Addressing the need to bolster the SF position.
24. Omri Casspi - Trailblazers: Portland loves international prospects.
25. Darren Collison - Thunder: Oklahoma City gets another UCLA PG to
replace Watson.
26. Chase Budinger - Bulls: Adds much needed perimeter shooting to
the young Bulls team.
27. Sam Young - Grizzlies: Most NBA ready player not named Griffin.
Will contribute immediately.
28. Wayne Ellington - T-Wolves: Best shooter in his class.
29. Patrick Mills - Lakers: The rich get richer as the Lakers find
the future replacement for Derek Fisher.
30. Derrick Brown - Cavs: Adds much needed size to that frontline.
