2004 NBA Draft Thread

[Fall Out Boy]

Borgsta, you want to push your mock out to 30 picks?

Might lock in everyone's mocks tonight, and see who gets the closest. Makes it a little more interesting.

Actually only just turned 18.

He'll probably end up being 7'11 rather than 7'9 then.

nah the rest would be complete and utter guess work. I only went up to 16 cos Utahs pick is a cert I think and then 17 cos i wanted to add Nelson to it.

 

[Carmelo Anthony]

The second round should be interesting.. it seems according to most mocks that Duhon, Sato, Paulding, Rice etc will be available mid to late second round, I think theres going to be alot of steals...especially with so many europeans and highschoolers in the first round.

Im hoping Donta Smith falls to #38, hes had a few workouts with the Bulls and I think hes our choice at that pick.

 

[Fall Out Boy]

The second round holds more interest for me, given we don't have a pick until about 47.

Hoping that one of Duhon, Sow, Drejer or Arthur Johnson is available at our pick, but even if one of them goes, i'd be happy to look at one of the quality senior 2 guards left (Sato, Minard, Pickett).

3)Chicago - Andre Iguodala (Stock is sky high, can step in right away)
4)Clippers - Shaun Livingston (Gordon gone, again by default)
5)Dallas - Pavel Podkolzine (That's apparently why they traded)
6)Atlanta - Luol Deng (Can't pass him)
7)Chicago - Ben Gordon (They love him, have their SF at three)
8)Toronto - Jameer Nelson (Impressed them, can start immed.)
9)Philadelphia - Josh Childress (Will complement AI nicely)
10)Cleveland - Devin Harris (Delighted he slips this far)
11)Golden State - Andris Biedrins (Ditto)
12)Seattle - Kirk Snyder (Adds toughness, McMillan likes him, Jefferson possible)
13)Portland - Luke Jackson (With Snyder gone, the hometown kid)
14)Utah - Sergei Monya (Worried that Boston take him at 15)
15)Boston - Al Jefferson (Upside is huge, Boston need front help)
16)Utah - Rafael Araujo (Delightted Boston don't pick him)
17)Atlanta - Josh Smith (Delighted he slips this far)
18)New Orleans - JR Smith (Nice backcourt mate for Diddy)
19)Miami - Robert Swift (They are stoked he is available)
20)Denver - Kris Humphries (Rumoured to love him)
21)Utah - Peter John Ramos (With Araujo, they can take the chance)
22)Portland - Sebastian Telfair (Cheeks LOVES this kid)
23)Portland - Dorell Wright (Able to take a risk here)
24)Boston - David Harrison (A readymade centre, makes sense for the Celts)
25)Boston - Kevin Martin (More help for PP and Ricky D)
26)Sacramento - Anderson Varejao (Can take a chance)
27)LA Lakers - Sasha Vujacic (Word of a guarantee if he slips)

Here we are ladies. May be the best mock win.

 

[Carmelo Anthony]

With the first pick in the 2004 NBA Draft,

The Orlando Magic select

DWIGHT HOWARD


1) Orlando - Dwight Howard

 

[St-KriS]

Anybody got a link to where I can listen to this? Can't find anything at NBA.com

 

[Carmelo Anthony]

Bobcats take Okafor

1) Orlando - Dwight Howard
2) Charlotte - Emeka Okafor

Kris - http://sports.yahoo.com/nba

 

[Carmelo Anthony]

With the 3rd pick Bulls draft....


Ben Gordon



1) Orlando - Dwight Howard
2) Charlotte - Emeka Okafor
3) Chicago - Ben Gordon

 

[Portmanteau]

Is JT the only guy who picked the top 3? I believe so!

My reasoning being: they had to grab Gordon at #3 because he'd go before #7. At #7 they pick whoever's left out of Deng, Iguodala and Jackson...

 

[St-KriS]

Thanks for the Link bresh

And the clips select Livingston, lets hope he doesnt get cliperized..

 

[Carmelo Anthony]

With the 4th pick in the NBA Draft, the LA Clippers select

Shaun Livington



1) Orlando - Dwight Howard
2) Charlotte - Emeka Okafor
3) Chicago - Ben Gordon
4) LA Clippers - Shaun Livington

Rumour is Dallas traded pick #5 to Golden State for Troy Murphy and #11... lets see what happens.

I'll have to settle for being the first guy to pick Gordon at 3, but then changed it
