NBA Mock Draft 1.0: the Year of the Big Man NBA Mock Draft 1.0: The Year of the Big Man Author : Andrew Parrish NBA Mock Draft 1.0: The Year of the Big Man This upcoming NBA Draft is one of the best in recent memory from top to bottom. From the depth in big men to the elite level guards, we could look back on this class as being one of the greatest of all time with players that have produced in the NBA. Here's a first-look at who your team could be targeting with their picks. First Round 1. Atlanta Hawks – Marvin Bagley III, F, Duke Bagley III is an elite offensive player from all levels of the floor, as well as a high-level rebounder and passer from the high post. His fit next to John Collins will set up the Hawks' front court for years to come. 1 / 8 NBA Comparison: Kevin Garnett 2. Orlando Magic – Luka Doncic, G/F, Real Madrid I went between Trae Young and Doncic here, but I think that the Magic aren't quite ready to give up on Elfrid Payton yet. Doncic is the next best player on the board as a guard/forward that can score from all levels. NBA Comparison: Manu Ginobili 3. Sacramento Kings – DeAndre Ayton, F/C, Arizona Ayton is a dominant low-post presence, and can be an instant impact player early in his career. He is one of the best rebounders in the class, and with the Kings being the third-worst rebounding team in the league, they could use Ayton's interior presence to go along with De'Aaron Fox from the point guard spot. NBA Comparison: Karl-Anthony Towns 4. Memphis Grizzlies – Michael Porter Jr., F, Missouri Porter Jr., even with his injury, is one of the top prospects in this draft, and can provide a dynamic scoring presence from all three levels. His frame at 6'10" and 220 pounds with his offensive skillset make him very capable to lead an NBA offense. NBA Comparison: Kevin Durant 5. Boston Celtics (from LA Lakers) – Mohamed Bamba, C, Texas The best defensive center in the draft, Bamba is a long, rangy defender that can defend the rim very well. With the Celtics lacking a true rim-protector, Bamba makes perfect sense to slot in next to Al Horford at the center spot, while Horford shifts over to his natural power-forward position. NBA Comparison: Rudy Gobert 6. Dallas Mavericks – Wendell Carter Jr., F, Duke With Dirk Nowitzki's impending retirement, the Mavericks need to draft his eventual replacement into the fold, and with this early pick, they certainly can do that with Carter Jr. Carter doesn't have the range that Dirk does, but he is a capable shooter in midrange, as well as having great size for power forward. NBA Comparison: Al Horford 7. Chicago Bulls – Jaren Jackson Jr., F, Michigan State 2 / 8 Jackson Jr. is a very good post defender and rebounder, which the Bulls lack on their front line. With Robin Lopez aging, the Bulls need to draft that defensive center that they can put next to their stretch four's in Lauri Markkanen and Nikola Mirotic. NBA Comparison: Derrick Favors 8. Phoenix Suns – Trae Young, G, Oklahoma The most dynamic lead guard that the NBA Draft has seen since the likes of John Wall, Kyrie Irving, and Stephen Curry, Trae Young is truly special as a scorer from all areas of the floor, as well as getting his teammates involved in the pick-and-roll game. The Suns will be on the hunt for a lead guard in this draft, given their trade of Eric Bledsoe to Milwaukee. NBA Comparison: Stephen Curry 9. Cleveland Cavaliers (via Brooklyn) – Collin Sexton, G, Alabama The other top guard in this draft, Sexton has elite level strength from the lead guard spot, and can get to the basket nearly at will. With Isaiah Thomas hitting free-agency, Sexton looks to fill in to that lead guard role that the Cavaliers have lacked since the departure of Kyrie Irving. NBA Comparison: Russell Westbrook 10. Charlotte Hornets – Miles Bridges, F, Michigan State Bridges returned to school after a breakout freshman season, where he was looking to be a potential top-5 pick in the 2017 draft. That decision in hindsight wasn't the best, but Bridges still looks to be a top-10 pick as a switchable 3 and 4 that operates along the baseline as a cutter on offense, but can also shoot the three and pass at a high level. NBA Comparison: Justise Winslow 11. Utah Jazz – Mikal Bridges, F, Villanova Athletic small forward that can play both on and off ball, but his real strength is creating off the dribble to his right with a dribble pull-up. Built body that can plug in immediately and contribute on both ends of the floor. With the Jazz lacking a true small forward that they can fully trust, Bridges looks to fill right in alongside Donovan Mitchell as the youth movement continues in Utah. NBA Comparison: Kawhi Leonard 12. New York Knicks – Hamidou Diallo, G, Kentucky 3 / 8 Long, athletic wing that can draw fouls and finish around the basket. Needs to improve his shot selection and shot making ability on shots outside of 10-15 feet, but he has a projectable NBA body and athleticism that will make him valuable for the Knicks, who can utilize him off the bench at multiple positions to start his career. NBA Comparison: Terrence Ferguson 13. Philadelphia 76ers – Robert Williams, F, Texas A&M One of the best defensive big men in the draft, Williams slots in as a backup power forward and center that can block shots and rebound at a high level. With Joel Embiid in and out of the lineup with injuries, the 76ers are going to go big with their first selection and improve their depth at that position group. NBA Comparison: Andre Drummond 14. LA Clippers – Troy Brown, G, Oregon Tall combo guard (6'7") that loves to slash to the basket when he catches on the wings. Needs to improve his shot from three-point range, but his stroke is fluent and can translate to the NBA line, with work. Uses his body to draw contact around the basket, and can finish through that contact. NBA Comparison: Kent Bazemore 15. New Orleans Pelicans – Kevin Knox, F, Kentucky Good all-around wing scorer with NBA range on his shot. Very thin for being 6'9", which position locks him to being a small forward, but with his ability to create his own shot off the dribble, he can be a wing that can contribute immediately for a New Orleans team that perpetually needs wing depth. NBA Comparison: Danilo Galinari 16. Denver Nuggets – Gary Trent Jr., G, Duke Knockdown shooter from all spots along the three-point line, but can also create his own shot with a variety of shifty moves. Very aware of where to be while cutting off-ball to catch and shoot effectively. Not afraid to shoot the ball, which can come back to bite him at times. NBA Comparison: Jamal Murray 17. Minnesota Timberwolves (from OKC) – Lonnie Walker, G, Miami (FL) Unique shotmaker around the rim, attacks the basket at a high rate and skill level. Isn't an initiator in the half 4 / 8 court, but can handle the ball in transition and make good decisions. Can make any shot that he takes within reason. NBA Comparison: Jamal Crawford 18. Portland Trail Blazers – Dzanan Musa, G/F, Cedevita Straight-line driver with back cut ability. Uses his body well to create space around the basket and has an innate sense to finish around the basket with great body control. Most effective in the pick and roll. Will be a draft-and-stash prospect, but has upside to become something down the line. NBA Comparison: Sam Dekker 19. Indiana Pacers – Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, G, Kentucky Great distributor in the pick and roll. Can make open shots and shoots a great percentage, but he's not really a "shooter" due to lack of attempts. Can defend his position very well. Two-way guard that can contribute immediately in the right system. 20. Milwaukee Bucks – Bruce Brown, G, Miami (FL) Bigger guard that can play both ways. Elite, switchable guard that also can defend off-ball and rebounds at a high rate. Better shooter off the catch than off the bounce as well as a hard cutter. Plays winning basketball and does the little things well. NBA Comparison: Gary Harris 21. Detroit Pistons – Chimezie Metu, F, USC Great pick and roll big man. Quick leaping ability reduces the amount of shots blocked by defenders. Very mobile for a big, but has a body that can handle the rigors of post defense. Can be a little careless with the ball, but the physical tools make him intriguing. NBA Comparison: DeAndre Jordan 22. Washington Wizards – Shake Milton, G, SMU Great pick-and-roll ball handler, is comfortable on both types of shots out of it as well as passing to the roll man. Can shoot very comfortably off of the dribble or catch-and-shoot. Rangy defender who can closeout to shooters. Ideally a backup 1, although he can play the 2. NBA Comparison: Tyreke Evans 5 / 8 23. Phoenix Suns (from Miami) – Brandon McCoy, C, UNLV Even though he attends a non-traditional powerhouse school in UNLV, it doesn't take much to see that he's a dominant low-post big man. He put up 33 points and 10 rebounds against DeAndre Ayton, which should tell you all you need to know about his skillset as a traditional back-to-the-basket center.

  • Dispatch.COM FREE! Thursday | June 21, 2018 a Banana In-Hand MSU Alum, Convenience Store Owner Gives Away Rally Bananas to MSU Fans in Omaha
    ESTABLISHED 1879 | COLUMBUS, MISSISSIPPI C DISPATCH.COM FREE! THURSDAY | JUNE 21, 2018 A banana in-hand MSU alum, convenience store owner gives away Rally Bananas to MSU fans in Omaha BY BRETT HUDSON [email protected] eLone Wilson wanted it known that Mississippi State baseball Dfans joining him in Omaha, Nebraska, for the College World Series were specifically welcomed in his con- venience stores, and he hung a banner outside his downtown storefront to prove it. His wife went a step further: Why not Wilson feed the Rally Banana craze by giving MSU fans free bananas? The Cubby’s parking lot has been packed ever since. Wilson is a MSU grad who is presi- dent of Cubby’s, a chain of convenience stores throughout Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota with 36 locations, accord- ing to its website, most of them around Westburg the Nebraska-Iowa border Omaha occupies. Their downtown store on the corner of South 13th and Jack- son streets, about a mile from TD Ameritrade Park, has been flooded with MSU fans seeking to join the Rally Banana faithful. “We’ve probably given away at least three cases of bananas, I’d say an average of about 120 bananas per case. It’s about 40 pounds per box,” said Dustin Vander Wel, the store’s manager. “I ordered a bunch of extras. We haven’t made it through them yet, but we should.” Cubby’s is one part of what has become a national “thing.” Before MSU’s first game in the College World Series, Dole — one of the world’s biggest distributors of bananas — sent a press release announcing the company’s support of the team’s Rally Banana and picking it to win the national championship.
