"The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great at whatever they want to do." It was very tough for me to wake up this morning. I heard the news that my childhood idol died while coaching AAU basketball. I was at a loss for words. I really though this was a hoax...

Updated mock.     Kurucs is suppose to go to Brooklyn before Lakers picks but NBADraft.net player search was down. Second round picks come this weekend. 

Someone's on the move eventually. IT will be traded before 30. He'll be in the same guard category of all stars who fall off. Olynyk is next in line to start if they don't bring back Johnson. Johnson started in just 9 playoff games this year. Johnson will head back to Toronto. Smart has been...

I live in Boston so i know Fultz is the guy but like you said he's blown things up on draft night almost 10 years ago with the same assets. 98% sure he's staying put especially he has a chance to add Ayton next year. C - Ayton PF - Olynyk SF - Brown SG - Fultz PG - Smart ^ projections in 3-5...

I'm with you about Ball not going to Boston. I think Boston cards are looking at Tatum, Jackson, Fultz, Fox, Monk... that's why Sac is taking a look at Fultz on a possible move up. I had Jaylen last year even though experts kept thinking Dunn. The other deal I've been following is the Sixers...

OG is such a hard to figure out. One report claims he's out for the season... others say he's moving up the board. I've read anywhere from Sac at 10 to second round. I'll obviously move him up. I think Milwaukee could use him since he can play defense at 5 positions but he's a year from playing.

I'm working on locating trades. Obviously Fox is a player the Sixers are interested in but I could see them trading down with Sacramento. Monk is a reach at 3 but Jayson Tatum could be the right fit off the ball if they believe Simmons is a PG (I love Simmons). Lauri is the player I think...

It's that time of year again where I come back to SI and post my traditional mock draft:      Unfortunately, Rodions Kurucs wasnt in the player pool for the Brooklyn Nets. I'd have him selected at NBADraft.net player search was down. I'll have a second round present by next weekend.  

  He's also got 50 lbs to gain in 2-3 years. If he went one and done he'd be in the same position next year. Its better for pro trainers to work with him in the D-League with a year head start.

  He's the first high school kid we've had in a decade. I sat court side and saw him play and he is extremely talented and raw. He can pass, dribble, shoot and plays solid defense. He's more than a mixtape online.    One scout compared him to Jumaine Jones which is a fair assessment. He's a guy...

  Thanks man for the positive post dude.  

  Best Case: KG Middle: Lamar Odom Worst Case: Johnathan Bender   Ill mail you a sweaty shirt if Thon turns up in 2 years. 

I'll keep it simple, the Kings wanted Draymond Green because his ability to play all over. They don't get a Draymond Greene here but they do get a hometown kid who can do everything on the court. He can step in an dominate the ball when Jackson is out, play the two and stretch the floor but what...

I've read the Kings will likely go Guard if Dunn is off the board. Dunn could slip due to his knee injuries and medical records. I've heard Dunn, Brown, Valentine, Labrisse all here at 7. The Kings every year have been hard to gage. I could see the Celtics trading down for #7 and Ben McLemore...

I sat courtside watching him play last year and the first player he reminded me of is KG in high school. They're scouting reports are almost identical. I'll give you my honest opinion on Thon Maker, he has the opportunity to be at best Kevin Garnett (a future HoFer) or at worst Jonathan Bender...

I'm a firm believer that the pick will be traded to Philadelphia for Jahlil Okafor. The Sixers are high on him but won't give up an opportunity Ingram or Simmons but taking one of them takes away Okafors touches. It'll benefit them by trading him and with with Noel, Embiid, Saric, Ingram & Dunn.

  I honestly believe Philly is so in love with Dunn they will move Okafor him. Brad Stevens is in love with Okafor so its a win-win     Thon Maker is jumping up boards like crazy. Ive seen him play last year and he's KG 2.0 and Lamar Odom at worst if developed correctly. He's an insane talent...

Hello SI community, Every year I come out of hibernation and post my mock drafts. Last year I scored 3rd on NBADraft.net website which I think is pretty impressive. I have my mock draft adjusted for the first round and the link is below: http://www.nbadraft.net/nba_mock_drafts/53300
