Old North Banter Mock NBA Draft

5. player. 38. The Magic will be scrambling if Porzingis is not at this spot. They may deal with the 76ers to move up to three in which case the 76ers would be in this spot. Either way, the team in this spot will have to take the best player available, which is Winslow. The 6’6″ 225 lbs forward may have the least bust potential of any player in the draft. He has a good shooting touch, and could either beat out Tobias Harris or become a real weapon of a sixth man.. Forward. Duke. Justise Winslow

The Kings need players who can play with DeMarcus Cousins. Darren Collison is a nice point guard, but he not dangerous in and of himself. The Kings should jump on Mudiay to run George Karl’s fast paced offense and distribute the ball to the likes of Rudy Gay and Ben McLemore.. Guard. Congo. Emmanuel Mudiay. 6. player. 67

Mario Hezonja. 7. player. 73. The Nuggets have gotten rid of two coaches in three years. They are rumored to be shopping Ty Lawson. Still they would be best taking the most versatile player on the board. So this is a best player available pick. The Nuggets would be a good candidate to move either up or down.. Guard/Forward. Croatia

64. The Pistons adjusted to possible life without Greg Monroe by trading for Ersan Ilysova, so I think they will address their small forward spot here by taking the most athletic wing in the draft. The 6’6″ 242 lbs Johnson will offer someone that the Pistons could potentially use to guard LeBron James when they face Cleveland.. Guard/Forward. Arizona. Stanley Johnson. 8. player
