]]> In the ever changing world mock draft’s here is the second official Nugglove Mock Draft:

  1. Cleveland  Kyrie Irving   6-3 191  Freshman  Point Guard
    Nothing is changing with Cleveland, but again in my humble opinion, Irving isn’t the best player in the draft. He should be a good point guard in the NBA, but will have the pressure of making Cleveland fans forget LeBron James. Irving may never make it to the same level as Chris Paul or Derrick Rose, but he could be a notch below that. (more…)

]]> It is that time of the year again when the internet is flooded with everybody trying to predict what 30 different general managers and teams will do in the NBA Draft and here is my futile attempt at a mock draft:

  1. Cleveland  Kyrie Irving   6-3 191  Freshman  Point Guard
    In my humble opinion, Irving isn’t the best player in the draft. He should be a good point guard in the NBA, but will have the pressure of making Cleveland fans forget LeBron James. Irving may never make it to the same level as Chris Paul or Derrick Rose, but he could be a notch below that.
  2. Minnesota  Derrick Williams  6-9  248   Sophomore  Forward
    Williams  may be the best player in the draft, he has the versatility to play both forward position and the skills to score inside and out. He also can impact the floor on both sides of the ball. However, not sure if the Timberwolves are the best fit for him. They have a plethora of versatile forwards (Kevin Love, Michael Beasley, Anthony Randolph and Wesley Johnson), but Williams is better than them all except for Love.
  3. Utah  Brandon Knight  6-3  177  Freshman  Point Guard
    This is an example of how bad the draft is, in a normal draft Knight may be a flex-top-15 pick, but in this draft he is projected to go in the top five. It is a tough pick for the Jazz, because their biggest needs are on the wings but it is too early to draft a wing with the third pick, unless they fall in love with Kawhi Leonard. Knight could have a great career, one that mirrors a player like Jrue Holliday but it is a pretty big drop off from Irving.
  4. Cleveland  Enes Kanter  6-11 259  Freshman  Center/Power Forward
    Kanter has wowed some teams in recent workouts. He has great size and athleticism to go with his basketball IQ. Kanter did lose a year after sitting out his freshman season due to suspension. He is an intriguing prospect and has potential to be another Love with some coaching and years. If he falls to the Cavaliers at four, it would be a great draft for Cleveland.
  5. Toronto  Jan Vesely  6-11 230 21 years old  Forward
    Vesely may be the most ready foreign prospect in the draft. At 21, he doesn’t have the potential as other foreign prospects, but is one of the more ready players in the draft. He hustles and is very competitive and is very athletic. He could potentially be another Andrei Kirilenko. (more…)
