I cannot see Petro going ahead of Taft.. Green will have questions about character and does not fit the new Portland mantra. Whitsitt isn't there any more. I see Graham going much higher... along with Fran Vasquez.

I could see Portland taking Green because they don't want to miss out on a Jordan type a second time. Recall Sam Bowie over Jordan in 84

Could sweets and the 8th yield us Marvin williams if we are reallying going young?

NOt if Phil comes here mind you.

Other thing is, Marvin likely won't be productive for a few years.

pretty solid mock. i have a few things to say

1 - stocks are going to rise on international and HS guys closer to draft time.

2- Jazz might pick Green - they need a superstar SG as much as anyone else

3- Bogut could fall to 3 if Paul or Williams get picked first

4- Petro is not going in the top 10

5- LA is not going to draft an international in the lotto

6- Granger is not going lotto.

7- Nemanja Aleksandrov is going lotto - guy was supposedly the LeBron of Europe since 15. He's been on the radar forever. I've heard about him since 2000/2001. He supposedly was the best talent in Europe since he was in middle school

8- McCants is going higher than 19, although that's where he belongs

9- Andray is going to go higher than 30 - at least mid 20s, but i'd love for him to go to the Knicks.

10- That Center from Chicago is going to be in the late 1st round...

Yeah, we are so excited about drafting a good player, while they are in the playoffs, may get to the Finals and could still nab a good player with their pick.

God, bless us, please!
