NBA Mock draft part 1
NBA Mock Draft part 2

Hasheem Thabeet will be a bust.  No ifs about it.

Jonny Flynn will be the second best PG, after Rubio, from this draft class.

Best player from 1-10: Ricky Rubio

Best player from 11-20: Terrence Williams

Best player from 21-30: Sam Young, go ahead and call me homer.

My sleeper: Alade Aminu.  Heaps of potential, under-utilized in college.  Should be a mid to late second rounder.  I expect him to be a solid role player in a few years, maybe even a starter.

I dont have a problem with your Young assesment at all.

The one thing I dont see is Teague going to Dallas. I think Kidd will end up staying, and Barea will still be the back up.

If Kidd leaves, then Teague wouldnt be a bad pick at all.

I agree with your first six, but I've got Holiday going 10th and Flynn going 7 to GS. Curry could also go at the 7 spot. I know a lot of people think Thabeet will be a bust and has a limited game but the guy has only been playing organized ball for a couple of years and has great size and is shot blocking machine. With the right coaching and system, he will develop an offensive game. I think a majority of your picks are right on. I just hope my Bobcats opt for Terrence Williams or Blair over Gerald Henderson.

Solid draft. I agree completely on Flynn, and we actually have the same top 10. I also have the Collison pick to Portland, Hansbrough to Utah and Lawson to Philly. But I don't get Indiana. Everyone has them taking a PG, why? lol seriously. They have Jarret Jack, who ESPN.com tells me averaged 13 and 4 last year, AND TJ Ford. Why do they need a 3rd, young one?

For that trade to go down, the Clippers would have to include Zach Randolph, Baron Davis, Chris Kaman, or Marcus Camby, for salary cap reasons.

I think that Brandon Jennings going to the Pacers at the #13 spot is a tough call. I think that Ty Lawson might be a better pick for them.

Best player from 21-30 (according to your draft) - Patrick Mills. PG of the future.
