League ID 174430

2)Seattle: Kevin Durant - Small Forward. Texas
3)Atlanta: Al Horford - Power Forward. Florida
4)Memphis: Mike Conley Jr - Point Guard. Ohio State
5)Boston: Yi Jianlian - Power Forward. China
6)Milwaukee: Jeff Green - Small Forward. Georgetown
7)Minnesota: Brandan Wright - Power Forward. North Carolina

9)Chicago: Spencer Hawes - Center. Washingto
10)Sacramento: Corey Brewer - Small Forward.Florida
11)Atlanta: Acie Law - Point Guard. Texas A&M

I hope Nick Young goes somewhere nice like NO, he was great to watch in college.

I can't wait to see what the Celtics screw up this year.

My mock draft:

1. Portland- Oden
2. Seattle- Durant
3. Atlanta- Horford
4. Memphis- Conley
5. Boston- Jianlian
6. Milwaukee- Green
7. Minnesota- Noah
8. Charlotte- B.Wright
9. Chicago- Hawes
10. Sacramento- Brewer
11. Atlanta- Crittenton
12. Philadelphia- J.Wright
13. New Orleans- N.Young
14. LA Clippers- Thornton

I expect the Raptors may trade into the draft for a mid-to-late pick to draft one of Belinelli, Thaddeus Young, Rudy Fernandez, or Tiago Splitter. There have been a lot of rumours about Calderon, but it's going to take a lot to pry him away from Colangelo.

I expect Jianlian going to Boston, kicking and screaming.

He'll be happier there than in Milwaukee.

I thought Yi Jianlian only wanted to play for the Bulls? And 5 is way too high for him. 1)he doesn't quite have the marketability of Yao and he's just not even close to being as good. I'd personally move up Brendan Wright and Noah on your list, maybe drop Julian Wright from 14

There's been a lot of talk of him going 5 or 6. And he already said he would play in Milwaukee if they drafted him even though he wouldn't work out for them, so he's not going to force himself to Chicago.

I just don't think he's that good, plays soft, has a bad attitudes towards the ref(whiny)

lots of unnecessary and stupid fouls
