NBA Players Mock Draft (Insider)

Pretty cool feature where ESPN got a player from each team to participate in a 1st Round Mock.

Top 4 went:
1. Wall (chosen by Andray Blatche)
2. Favors (chosen by Thad Young)
3. Turner (chosen by Devin Harris)
4. Johnson (chosen by Kevin Love)

And #5, chosen by Tyreke Evans: DeMarcus Cousins

"There's a lot of good guys out there at this spot in the draft. DeMarcus is big [6'11"] and built [292] and can run and rebound [9.9 a game last season]. Add him to our frontcourt, and we'll be ruling."

LOL at Young not wanting to give up his minutes for Turner.

well lets look at Brandon Jennings pick at #15.

Tiny Gallon, who is expected to be a second rounder

Joakim Noah takes…..Derrick Caracter, also projected to be a second rounder

while Patrick Patterson, a possible top 10 pick but surely top 15 pick slides all the way to 27

"I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot...and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why... I succeed." Michael Jordan.

COUSINS!

I am Praying really Hard Evans and my Pick comes true. Cousins=Playoffs. Jeremy Wise is returning to Sacramento I guess Petrie want’s to take a second look at him , but who would be the best pick betwen Jeremy Wise and Jerome Randle. I was Hoping Petrie would take a second look at Randle. I really like shot blocker Jarvis Varnado but you never know who can fall at #33. Hope Petrie gets the Best Avalible Player but COUSINS is my Pick at #5.

I think this is a very interesting view

Certainly some of these players have in mind their own interests, but I am sure they certainly know the needs of their teams better than anybody.

Love picking Johnson is very interesting.

I wonder if he is making the smart pick here, or just hoping that he or Al don’t get traded when they draft Favors or Cousins.

Would he pick Cousins so he can get the hell out of Minny?

I like the Johnson pick but i am more for smash mouth Basketball , like the 49ers Go Big! I would like to see the Kings Intimidate Teams like the bad boy’s detriot Pistons when rodman was on that team. I want the kings to get rid of the Soft Label. that’s why i want Cousins and Varnado and Randle.
