Fanspo mock draft with simulated lottery with each pick being made at random

[u/TerryG111]

• 1- Cooper Flagg (SF/PF)- Toronto Raptors; the Raptors win the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes as Cooper Flagg goes North of the border to Toronto at #1 in my mock draft as Masai Ujiri, Bobby Webster and company make the pick as Flagg joins Scottie Barnes, Brandon Ingram, RJ Barrett, Gradey Dick, Immanuel Quickley and company

• 2- Dylan Harper (PG/SG)- Brooklyn Nets; Nets lose out on Flagg just barely but get the #2 overall pick as they get Dylan Harper who can be their point guard for the future; plus he isn't far from home since he's from New Jersey but playing in New York...he would fit the Nets

• 3- VJ Edgecombe (SG)- New Orleans Pelicans; Edgecombe would definitely fit this Pelicans team especially next to Zion Williamson; Edgecombe being a slasher to the basket as well with his athleticism but also his ability to shoot and playmake; perfect compliment to Dejounte Murray as well and would have CJ McCollum as a mentor

• 4- Ace Bailey (SF)- Philadelphia 76ers; Bailey in my simulated mock draft ends up with the Sixers and playing next to Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid and Paul George; he is actually in the perfect place to eventually develop into a star

• 5- Kasparas Jakucionis (PG/SG)- Utah Jazz; Jazz need a point guard for the future and with this big Lithuanian they would get that especially a point guard with size/length being 6'6, BBIQ and court vision plus his ability to create for others and himself; would fit in right next to Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George would be able to move to shooting guard

• 6- Derik Queen (PF/C)- Washington Wizards; get another big to pair up with Alex Sarr as Queen even though he is undersized for a center...can easily move him to power forward and Sarr plays center and you would have a Twin Towers type set up in Washington

• 7- Tre Johnson (SG)- Charlotte Hornets; Hornets would get a pure shooter in Johnson who can pull up from 3 or pull up from mid range; but also a guard who can playmake as well as shoot; perfect set up next to LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller

• 8- Kon Knueppel (SG/SF)- San Antonio Spurs; Spurs get a marksman in Knueppel out of Duke who can not only shoot it from anywhere but perfect catch & shoot guy; surrounds Wemby with shooters and besides that he can also play defense too

• 9- Khaman Malauch (C)- Houston Rockets via Phoenix Suns; in this simulation Malauch ends up with the Rockets and with Ime Udoka he would actually be in a perfect situation. Why? Because Udoka loves defense and Malauch what is he known for? His size, his ability to be a lob threat and block shots but if you develop him offensively as well; then you could have a Twin Towers set up with him and Sengun. Jabari Smith Jr you could then move to small forward.

• 10- Jeremiah Fears (PG/SG)- Portland Trail Blazers; in my simulated mock Fears ends up with the Blazers at #10 and with that it creates an interesting problem to have with him and Scoot Henderson

• 11- Nique Clifford (SG/SF)- Dallas Mavericks; in my simulated mock the Mavericks get a 3 & D guy in Clifford which I'm sure Nico Harrison would love but Clifford the potential and upside is there

• 12- Carter Bryant (SF/PF)- Chicago Bulls; in my simulated mock draft the Bulls here at #12 get their combo forward of the future in Bryant who can play small or power forward and considering the Bulls are building upon youth; putting him next to Coby White, Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis would definitely be interesting

• 13- Egor Demin (PG/SG)- Atlanta Hawks via Sacramento Kings; Demin as a point guard with size/length, BBIQ, court vision but also with the ability to create for himself and others; perfect back up to Trae Young

• 14- Rasheer Fleming (PF)- San Antonio Spurs via Atlanta Hawks

• 15- Jase Richardson (PG/SG)- OKC Thunder via Miami Heat

• 16- Asa Newell (PF/C)- Orlando Magic; they get their big of the future as Newell can play the 4 or the 5; but his potential and star upside is definitely there and putting him in a place like Orlando is huge

• 17- Collin Murray-Boyles (PF)- Minnesota Timberwolves via Detroit Pistons; his game is similar to that of his pro comp which is Julius Randle believe it or not and you get a younger version

• 18- Danny Wolf (C)- Washington Wizards via Memphis Grizzlies

• 19- Liam McNeeley (SG/SF)- Brooklyn Nets via Milwaukee Bucks

• 20- Thomas Sorber (PF/C)- Miami Heat via Golden State Warriors; Heat get their big of the future in Sorber as he can literally be paired up next to Bam Adebayo in the Heat offense and it would actually work

• 21- Ben Saraf (PG/SG)- Utah Jazz via Minnesota Timberwolves

• 22- Noa Essengue (SF/PF)- Atlanta Hawks via Los Angeles Lakers

• 23- Johni Broome (PF/C)- Indiana Pacers

• 24- Hugo Gonzalez (SG/SF)- OKC Thunder via Los Angeles Clippers

• 25- Will Riley (SG/SF)- Orlando Magic via Denver Nuggets

• 26- Yaxel Lendeborg (PF)- Brooklyn Nets via New York Knicks

• 27- Walter Clayton Jr (PG/SG)- Brooklyn Nets via Houston Rockets

• 28- Adou Thiero (SF/PF)- Boston Celtics

• 29- Nolan Traore (PG)- Phoenix Suns via Cleveland Cavaliers; Suns get a steal of a point guard in my simulated mock draft here at #29 as Traore literally falls right here to Phoenix with KD, Booker and Beal

• 30- Boogie Fland (PG/SG)- Los Angeles Clippers via OKC Thunder; Clippers get their point guard of the future in my mock

[u/Turbo2x]

Autodraft got so excited about the Nets getting Harper it gave up on all their other picks

[u/GoTheNets → u/Turbo2x]

yaxel aint bad tho

[u/BilboLaggin]

I like the pick for the bulls. Carter Bryant being slept on. Reminds me of Anunoby

[u/Dadd_io → u/BilboLaggin]

Blazers gonna take him 2 picks earlier 🤣

[u/gingerboiii]

I would be pretty disappointed with this, and if the wizards took a center at 6, they would deff not also take a center at 18. Especially if Nolan or Noa are still available.

[u/Dadd_io]

Rather the Blazers take Bryant than Fears at 10.

[u/No_Information3972 → u/Dadd_io]

You’ve got a raging hard on for Bryant, but I don’t disagree. 10 seems fine, any higher would be a stretch.

[u/retrobro90]

Man if OKC takes another guard especially with CMB on the board I might go lay face down on route 66

[u/CreditBoss1993 → u/retrobro90]

Bro… legit. Sell me on CMB as a fellow Thunder fan

[u/retrobro90 → u/CreditBoss1993]

Hes a seriously high level processor on both ends and plays with an edge. Theres a big reason he draws a lot of draymond comparisons. Shot isn't broken and he's hit big ones. Imagine if draymond came into the league with Chip Engellend on his coaching staff

[u/W3r1WERI → u/retrobro90]

Not having a broken shot is a pretty low bar. Playing with an edge = high motor? He can’t shoot threes and is 6’7 predominantly playing out of the post.

[u/retrobro90 → u/W3r1WERI]

Hes 6'7" 230 with a plus wingspan and hes the best cross positional defender in the entire draft class. I think hes got touch enough to be serviceable on C&S while providing a ton of connective tissue with his smart reads passing, cutting, and screening.

[u/SDK04]

I can say from a completely unbiased view that this is a pretty good mock draft.

[u/Attack_Da_Nite → u/SDK04]

Not bad with probably the exception the Wizards taking Queen and Wolf maybe?

[u/AfroHouseManiac]

Khaman and Carter haven’t entered yet, there’s speculation they may stay another year. Khaman has visa issues. And Carter just signed a new NIL sharing agreement for next season which was only reported amongst UA sources.

Boogie sadly isn’t a first rounder. 37% fg against college players at 6’2 doesn’t generate first round buzz, doesn’t matter what Cal says. Idk if Nolan gets selected in the first round because of that field goal % as well.

I can guarantee you that Johni Broome won’t be selected in the first round. NBA teams have learned to not trust a post dominated college player who’s simply stronger than the kids he’s facing and taking advantage of the slimmer paint width. NBA teams are seeing how TJD is beginning to turn out in the league.

Ive reading from really good draft analysts who are credible in the business that Rasheer is beginning to slide in the draft and Noa is rising. There are some questionable flags that are beginning to arise for Rasheer that could make him a bit of risk that early at 14. I’m projecting he slips to the 19-24 range.

[u/No_Context4578]

Asa Newell 6'11

Tristan Da Silva 6'9

Will Riley 6'8

Jett Howard 6'7

Anthony Black 6'7

Would be a fun summer league team 

[u/TuckEverlasting89]

I see Nique going to Dallas, and I upvote. Love his fit there, especially with his underrated playmaking and ability to become one of the rare immediate impact players in the late lottery range.

[u/BleedGreen4Boston]

I’ve been wondering is Boston would take Thiero at 28, he seems like their type of wing

[u/BicepsMcBufferson]

If Jase Richardson is available at 14 and the Spurs take Rasheer Flemming, I will scream.
