Lottery mock draft |
By Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! Sports May 23, 2007
SECAUCUS, N.J. – Between the commissioner telling Greg Oden and Kevin Durant that they had to go to college for a year and the Florida Gators' three stars staying one more season, an intriguing confluence of events inspired one of the deepest, most talented NBA draft classes in years. And now, with the draft lottery complete Tuesday night, here's a scenario about how the lottery could play out June 28 in New York. 1. Portland Trail Blazers – Greg Oden, 7-foot center, Ohio State. With the first pick in the 2007 NBA draft, the Blazers select … Sam Bowie, Mychal Thompson and LaRue Martin. Nah, not this time. The Blazers are getting a franchise center for the next decade. 2. Seattle SuperSonics – Kevin Durant, 6-9 forward, Texas. This is some spectacular consolation prize. Durant is the most gifted and complete offensive player to come out of college in years, and maybe, just maybe, he can save the Sonics in Seattle. 3. Atlanta Hawks – Yi Jianlian, 7-foot forward, China. Two years ago, the Hawks made a terrible mistake passing on point guards Deron Williams and Chris Paul high in the draft. They still need a playmaker, but they can get a solid point later in the lottery. Jianlian is an athletic, slashing forward who has blown scouts away with perimeter talents. 4. Memphis Grizzlies – Corey Brewer, 6-8 guard, Florida. Brewer is the Tennessee kid who can help ease the disappointment of missing out on the franchise stars, Oden and Durant. Brewer's 7-foot wingspan makes him a menace on defense. He's a shot-maker, too. 5. Boston Celtics – Brandan Wright, 6-10 forward, North Carolina. Doc Rivers will be gone by the All-Star break, but Wright, with those condor arms, is a long, fluid offensive talent who will block shots and score around the basket. He isn't Durant, but he'll be a major scorer in the pros. 6. Milwaukee Bucks – Al Horford, 6-9 forward, Florida. The Bucks are desperate for some toughness around the basket, and Horford is an easy choice for general manager Larry Harris. Horford will develop offensively, but he will arrive an accomplished defender and rebounder. 7. Minnesota Timberwolves – Mike Conley, 6-1 guard, Ohio State. Conley is the purest of point guards, forever thinking pass-first. As much as his longtime teammate Oden, he was the reason the Buckeyes made a run to the national title game. He needs to shoot it better, but he's a leader and a winner. 8. Charlotte Bobcats – Joakim Noah, 6-10 forward, Florida. So much for improving his stock by staying in school. Noah would've gone higher in the 2006 draft. Nevertheless, the Bobcats are desperate for a star to complement Emeka Okafor on the inside. Noah could sell a few tickets for this fledgling franchise. 9. Chicago Bulls – Spencer Hawes, 7-foot center, Washington. Hawes is a skilled low-post player with a tough attitude and a relentless disposition. He fits perfectly with the Bulls' terrific nucleus of young players who bring it every night on the floor. 10. Sacramento Kings – Tiago Splitter, 7-foot center, Brazil. With Roy Hibbert going back to Georgetown for his senior year, Splitter has developed a reputation for his tough, physical presence near the basket. With Oden going to Portland, size matters even more in the West. 11. Atlanta Hawks – Acie Law, 6-3 guard, Texas A&M. Law isn't going to be a star in the NBA, but he's a tough, smart guard with the guts to make big shots. Most of all, he's a leader. He'll be a good complement to franchise star Joe Johnson. 12. Philadelphia 76ers – Julian Wright, 6-9 forward, Kansas. The 76ers are believed to be enamored with Georgetown's Jeff Green, but it will be a tough call if Wright survives this deep into the lottery. Wright is more athletic and has more upside. 13. New Orleans Hornets – Jeff Green, 6-9 forward, Georgetown. Green does a little of everything well, and he fits into the winning culture that G.M. Jeff Bower and coach Byron Scott are determined to infuse into the Hornets on the way back to New Orleans. 14. Los Angeles Clippers – Thaddeus Young, 6-8 forward, Georgia Tech. Young is a long, athletic talent who is just too talented to pass up and slide out of the lottery. |
첫댓글 실력이 뽀록나면 어떻게 되겠죠...ㅎㅎ;; 무시하긴 싫지만 아무래도 1라운드 하위권이나 2라운드로 갈 것 같네요...
음..제가 본 경기에서 이지엔리엔은 정말..ㅡㅡ;;앞에서뽑히는건 상관없지만..미네에서만 안뽑아주길...묘한 과대평가분위기입니다..올해 뎁쓰가 아니면 1픽감인데요..평가자체에서는...
확실한건 애틀랜타는 센터아님 포가를 뽑아야된다는거..그게 여의치않으면 브루워나 라이트뽑고 원츄하는 타팀과 트레이드를 해봄직도 합니다
보스턴을 위한 설레발인가? ㅋㅋㅋ
만약 야오밍 이었으면 어떻게 되었을까요? 오든에 이어 2픽? 아님 3픽?.....
야오밍도 오든 듀란트와 함께 나왔으면 3위로 밀렸겠죠.. 최근 드래프티 중 르브론 제임스 말고는 이들을 제칠 선수 찾기 힘들듯.. 카멜로 앤서니도 어쩜 3위로 밀렸을수도..
7풋 포워드라는 데에서 점수를 얻는걸까요.
그런거 같아요.. 던컨 말고는 7풋 포워드는 거의 전무한 상태니.. 던컨이 데이비드 로빈슨 덕택에 센터가 아닌 파포포지션에서 자기보다 작은 파포를 상대하며 NBA 커리어를 시작할수 있었던 것이.. 현재 던컨의 커리어를 쌓는데 큰 도움이 되었다고 생각하거든요..
이지리지엔이 진짜 7풋 맞나요...?
글쎄요 모르죠.. 어느날 갑자기 프로필에 6-10로 바껴있을지도..^^ 드래프트 캠프 시작하면 키도 다시 재보겠죠..
벌써 6-11 으로 바뀌어있더군요 -_-;;
던컨도 6-11이라는...대신 노비츠키와 가넷이 있죠^^
화교들은 전미국에 골고루 퍼져있답니다.
아 뽑히면 뽑히는거고.. 말면말고..
이지엔리엔 KBL올스타 Vs CBA 올스타 전때는 꽤 괜찮아 보이던데;; ㅋㅋ NBA클래스를 무시하는건 아니지만 한국이 너무 딸려서 그런건가?? ㅋㅋ
애틀란타 구장에 사람들이 꽉찰수도 있겠네요 .
야오가 이렇게 까지 성장할줄은 예상하기 어려웠었죠. 또 아직 더 성장의 여지도 있구요// 다른나라도 아닌 중국의 No.1 기대주라는게 참...
헐..당시 아시안게임 결승때 최소한 전반에는 하승진이 매치업에서 더 우세하다는 느낌이었는데...3픽???
애틀란타가 브랜든 롸잇을 놓치고 또 한번 바보 같은 짓을 할지 의문이네요 ㅎㅎ 3번픽으로 브랜든 롸잇 뽑고, 11번픽으로 마이크 콘리 주니어,애이시 로,크리텐튼 이 세명 중 한 명은 꼭 뽑아야 합니다...
애틀란타 요새 많이 언급되네요 ㅋㅋ 비시즌임에도 ㅡㅡ 괜히 기분좋다는 .. 시즌에도 이렇게 많은 관심을~!!
뭐 이지리엔에 대한 기대감이야 충분히 가질수 있지만 3번픽을 행사하기엔 조금 부담이 크죠 검증이 안되었다고 보는게 맞으니까요
제발 뽑지 않기를 기도할 뿐입니다.
