Mock Draft 6.0 — Part III

by

31. Charlotte Bobcats – Darius Miller, SF, Kentucky The Bobcats still need help at forward, and Miller is an experienced starter and solid all-around player. He is very good at knocking down open looks. 32. Washington Wizards – Festus Ezeli, C, Vanderbilt Both Nene and Emeka Okafor are getting older, and selecting Ezeli to develop behind them would be a good move for the Wizards. Ezeli is a quality defender and rebounder but can’t give you much offense. 33. Cleveland Cavaliers – John Jenkins, SG,

Tweet of the Day goes to Deron Williams, who decided to have some fun and troll us all with the “speculation” talk, as if there wasn’t enough of that already heading into the draft tonight.

by

NEW YORK — It is 1:28 PM on Wednesday afternoon and a throng of reporters are gathered around an empty table.  A purple microphone sits at the head of the table, awaiting the arrival of a 6-11 rebounding and shot-blocking machine that simply doesn’t come around very often. The NBA draft will take place later today in Newark, NJ. Contrary to popular belief, there are a lot of really good players who will likely help downtrodden franchises on their way back

The team reached the Eastern Conference semifinals and Bird was named Executive of the Year. It’s interesting how one solid season from an NBA legend obscured a track record
