Updated: May 21, 2014, 08:00 AM EST Chad Ford Mock Draft 6.0Cavs get chance for redemption but will Celts and Lakers trade out?
로터리 결과가 나왔고, 클리블랜드 캐벌리어스가 올해 NBA 드래프트 로터리에서 지난 해에 이어 연속으로 일등 당첨자가 됐다. 이 말은 곧 우리의 Mock Draft 6.0 이 나올 때가 됐다는 말이다. 지금 시점에서는 굳혀진 것이 거의 없다고 봐야 한다. 그러니까 이번 모의 드래프트가 다음 네 주간의 과정에 거쳐 큰 변동을 거듭할 것이라 예상하는 것이 좋다. NBA 드래프트 컴바인이 지난 주에 막 끝났고 우리의 보드에 상당한 임팩트를 주기도 했다.
팀 워크아웃이란 과정이 또 이제 막 시작할 참이다. 다음 몇 주에 걸쳐 아디다스 유로캠프와 수백에 달하는 팀 워크아웃들이 드래프트의 국면을 극적으로 뒤바꿀 것이다. 그래도 일단 지금의 기준에서 봤을 때 우리가 최선의 시도를 해서 여기 올려 본다. 여러 NBA 팀 소스들과 6 월 26 일 드래프트가 어떻게 흘러갈지에 대해 이야기를 나눠 본 후에 작성한 것이다. 명심할 것은 우리의 모의 드래프트가 우리가 생각하는 탑 플레이어들의 랭킹이 아니라는 점이다. 대신 각 팀이 드래프트에서 어찌할 지에 대해 NBA 스카우트들과 GM들로부터 우리가 최근에 얻은 정보를 정리하여 보도하는 도구다.

The lottery results are in, and the Cleveland Cavaliers are the big winners in this year's NBA draft lottery for the second year in a row. That means it's time for our Mock Draft 6.0. At this point very little is set in stone. Expect this mock draft to continue to fluctuate greatly over the course of the next four weeks. The NBA draft combine just finished last weekend and had a significant impact on our board.
The process of team workouts has just started. Over the next few weeks the adidas Eurocamp and hundreds of team workouts will dramatically alter the face of the draft. But for now, here's our best stab, after talking to numerous NBA team sources, about how the draft might play out on June 26. Remember our mock draft is not a ranking of who we think the top players are. Instead it's a reporting tool to convey our latest intel from NBA scouts and GMs on what each team might do in the draft.
Here we go:
Cleveland Cavaliers (33 - 49)
The Cavs win the lottery for the third time in four years. That is pretty incredible. They hit a home run with Kyrie Irving and screwed it up with Anthony Bennett. There are no guarantees that Luol Deng is going to sign with them this summer and Parker brings high character and a versatile scoring threat. Joel Embiid is another guy to watch here. Anderson Varejao is 32 years old. They need a long-term replacement. But will Dan Gilbert have the patience to wait? I thought they'd to go safe and bring in Jabari Parker. However, sources in Cleveland say that Wiggins is the likely choice. The team feels he has the most long-term potential, helps them defensively right out of the gate, can replace Dion Waiters in the starting lineup while adding character to the team.
The Bucks really liked Embiid before his back injury. But there are questions about whether they will actually be able to get him in for a physical before the draft. If they can, he is likely the No. 1 pick with Wiggins off the board. If they cannot, Parker or Dante Exum could move into this spot. Parker is the safe pick, but there are concerns that he plays the same position as Giannis Antetokounmpo. Exum could be their point guard of the future, as they would like to move Brandon Knight to the 2.
Look for the Lakers to start shopping this pick. If they had stayed in the top 3, they might have hung onto it, but at No. 7 the interest will be in trying to turn this pick and other assets into a veteran such as Kevin Love. If they keep the pick, they'll want a player who can come in and contribute from the start. Randle, along with Parker, might be the most NBA-ready freshman in the draft. With the Lakers' entire front line heading into free agency this summer (including Pau Gasol, Chris Kaman and Jordan Hill), L.A. is going to have a lot of needs up front.
The Kings are obsessed with analytics, and by just about every metric out there, Smart is one of the top three players in this draft. Smart fits a need on multiple levels for the Kings. Isaiah Thomas was good for the Kings this year, but ultimately they think he's a backup. Smart's size and basketball IQ are major upgrades at the position. But it's Smart's toughness, leadership, competitiveness and a desire to win at any cost that could transform the culture in Sacramento.
Randy Foye is coming off a career year, and they have Evan Fournier as a backup, but Harris is a potential upgrade over both players. Not only can he score from anywhere on the floor and play both the 1 and the 2, but he's one of the few lockdown defenders in the draft.
The Wolves are going to have to trade Kevin Love. He won't re-sign in Minnesota next season, which means they have to get something for him now or risk losing him for nothing next summer. So while perimeter shooting remains a must, they also will need help replacing Love in the frontcourt. The good news is that Payne offers something of both. Not only is he ready to step in and play in the paint from day one, but he's also a terrific shooter with NBA 3-point range who can really stretch the floor.
The Suns already have two combo guards in their starting line with Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe, but I don't think they'll hesitate to pull the trigger on LaVine if he's on the board. He has as much upside as anyone in the draft. He gives them another lethal shooter and should find minutes given that the Suns' backcourt lacks any real depth at either the 1 or the 2.
The Hawks have been looking for another wing, and Young has tremendous upside here. If he had shot the ball more consistently as a freshman, he would have been selected six to eight spots higher. Still scouts are convinced there's nothing wrong with his stroke and given a little more time, he could be a very effective defense stretcher.
With Derrick Rose returning from his second ACL surgery and D.J. Augustin a free agent, the Bulls need a reliable point guard as Rose's backup. Ennis might be young, but he was among the steadiest point guards in the country and plays the sort of mistake free basketball the Bulls will want in a backup.
The Celtics need shooting. After shipping off Courtney Lee to Memphis, Avery Bradley remains the Celtics' only reliable 3-point shooter. Not only can Hairston stroke it from deep, he has an NBA body and should be more NBA ready than the average prospect selected at No. 17 -- a big plus for the Celtics.
If the Suns address backcourt depth with their first pick, I could see them trying to address their small forward issues with their second pick. Gerald Green gave them some good minutes last year, but with P.J. Tucker a free agent, they could use someone like Early. He can shoot, rebound and tested very well in the athletic drills at the NBA combine.
The Bulls need shooting in the worst way, and Hood shot a red-hot 42 percent from 3 this season. He has elite size for his position and has the maturity to step in and play meaningful minutes for the Bulls from day one. While the Bulls still have some front court issues to address, this draft really should shore up their backcourt challenges.
Both Kyle Lowry and Greivis Vasquez are free agents this summer. While the Raptors would like to sign them both, Payton offers them some important insurance. In fact, even as a prospect he's probably better than Vasquez from day one. Payton is the biggest sleeper in the draft. With his length, athleticism and defense I could see him going significantly higher than this, but I don't think he gets past Toronto if he's still on the board.
Nurkic has NBA size and soft hands to play the center position and let's face it, in a draft devoid of bigs, that's a commodity. His lack of elite athleticism and some conditioning issues probably keep him from going higher, but this is a nice draft-and-stash candidate for the Thunder.
The Grizzlies could use help at the 3, and Grant gives them a combo forward with elite athletic ability and length. His lack of a real jump shot keeps him from going higher, but the defensive toughness he brings to the table should really help the Grizzlies.
McDaniels gives the Jazz an athletic forward who should bring defensive toughness right away. Many scouts feel he's one of the more underrated players in the draft -- someone who's a jump shot away from being a dominant wing.
There's a run on wings! Warren is the best scorer of the lot -- a player who looks for and can get his shot from anywhere on the floor. Given the Hornets' scoring issues at the 3 (Michael Kidd-Gilchrist may be a great defender, but he's struggled to find his offense) Warren is a great fit here. His lack of a 3-point shot is the only thing holding him back from going higher.
Mario Chalmers is an unrestricted free agent and it's unclear whether the Heat will be able to afford to pay him. Norris Cole is also hitting free agency this summer and the Heat could use a veteran guard who knows how to play in big games. Napier could be a Chalmers-like player for them down the road.
Capela's stock has slipped a bit since a mediocre showing at the Nike Hoop Summit but he still has elite length and athletic ability and is another player who could be valuable in a few years as a draft-and-stash candidate. Given that the Suns have three first-round picks, it makes sense for at least one of them to be international player.
Anderson plays like a point guard, but he has the body of a NBA power forward. The Clippers have the best point guard in the game in Chris Paul, but Paul could use some help with Darren Collison heading to free agency. I think Doc Rivers might be the perfect coach to get the most out of Anderson's talents.
The Thunder could always use more shooting and Wilcox is another lights out shooter. He's got the size and athleticism to play the 2, but his age has caused his stock to fall. I think this would be a nice late pickup for the Thunder.

레이커스는 가솔이 남는다면 어떻게든 픽업을 하든지 픽다운을 할거 같습니다...
그래서, 액섬을 노리거나 또다른 대형재능인 라빈을 노릴지도 모릅니다!!
만약 그대로 픽이 유지된다면, 스마트 아니면 랜들이 픽이 되겠네요...
귀중한 정보 감사드립니다.
맥더못은 진짜 피했으면 하네요....라빈 제임스영 해리스 사리치까지 있는데요...
