2007 First Round Mock Draft

[Los Angeles Lakers]

2007 First Round Mock Draft

1. Boston Celtics - Dwight Howard
Duh

2. New Jersey Nets - Joakim Noah
Slide Darko to Center and play Joakim at power forward - that's a great frontline.

3. Seattle Supersonics - Tiago Splitter
Could use a shooting guard too but Tiago is the best available guy at this position that fills a need for them. Best option would probably be to move the pick though.

4. Cleveland Cavaliers - Josh Smith
Smith is the next best available player - just a hair better than Marvin Williams.

5. Washington Wizards - Marvin Williams
Wiz need a small forward and Marvin is the next best available at this point.

6. Memphis Grizzlies - Marcus Williams
A true point guard would be better than Roy.

7. Memphis Grizzlies - Al Jefferson
They need a big guy.

8. New Orleans Hornets - Rudy Gay
Small forward is a must for this team on the rise.

9. Cleveland Cavaliers - Gerald Green
Huge steal here if the Green is still available here.

10. Los Angeles Lakers - Marco Belinelli
Need a shooting guard or a center but Belinelli would probably be the best available option.

11. Atlanta Hawks - Rudy Fernandez
Ratings are off right now but should be fixed to give him better hands....great combo guard backup option for this Hawks team.

12. Toronto Raptors - Brandon Rush
Just in case D-Wade doesn't re-sign.

13. New Orleans Hornets - Jackie Butler
Power forward is the next immediate need for this team.

14. Los Angeles Lakers - Al Horford
Horford could be a good backup power forward...potential starting caliber.

15. New Jersey Nets - Sergio Rodriguez
Just in case Leandro Barbosa doesn't re-sign.

16. San Antonio Spurs - Rajon Rondo
Been in need of a point guard for a very long time.

17. Minnesota Timberwolves - Corey Brewer
Shooting guard is what they need.

18. Indiana Pacers - Mirza Teletovic
Could use a small forward

19. Los Angeles Lakers - L.R. Mbah a Moute
Would benefit from drafting the best available player.

20. Milwaukee Bucks - Mustafa Shakur
This team has never had a real point guard...except for past his prime Damon Stoudamire.

21. Phildelphia 76ers - Aaron Gray
Lorenzo Snow is a power forward.

22. Sacramento Kings - Patrick O'Bryant
Best available player.

23. New Orleans Hornets - Robert Swift
Best available player.

24. Denver Nuggets - Kyle Visser
See previous two.

25. New York Knicks - Mike Jones
Who? MIKE JONEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

26. Los Angeles Clippers - Johan Petro
Their centers suck and Vin Baker is old.

27. Washington Wizards - Jared Jordan
Steve Nash sort of.

28. Portland Trailblazers - Tyler Hansborough
Will fit in perfectly since he knows how to win.

29. Atlanta Hawks - Marcus Dove
I don't know who else they'd want to take.

Good mock, but I am NOT picking Tiago Splitter, I hate the guy.

Rather Have Josh Smith, Marvin Williams, GG

[Indiana]

"Could use a SF", when its easily my deepest position? Wallace, Carney, JJ, and Rose can all play there, and so can Sheed if I re-sign him. I'd rather go for a big man or more of a SG. Depending on how crappy he is, a PG would even be more useful.

[Jayborne23]

Petro is ok, but I'm a fan of Sean Williams. I love shot blocking.

[brajense]

not bad, tho I do disagree with some of your BPAs on certain picks.

[Los Angeles Lakers]

Basically everyone in the top 7 picks look like they'll be back in the same position again next year....gosh those teams all really suck lol.

i think boston can turn it around, look at the 6ers from last season to this. picking up a star player like dwight could be just what they needed

[Toronto]

I really need to draft best available talent this time, Need more Depth.
