Wack Mock Wednesday(also my NFL Mock Draft 1.0)

Trade details:

Eagles receive pick 17 from the Bengals in exchange for picks 22 and 98.

Side note: Is it just me or something about KJ Bolden just makes y'all get Steelers vibes?

3 team trade(CLE-BKN-HOU)

https://preview.redd.it/5i3vudig8ufh1.png?width=1440&format=png&auto=webp&s=30b2dadbe7e701ee2e001531c7afdf7e022653b8

Does this make sense for all parties? Probably not. However I can give my very very flawed reasonings for why I would do this if I was every team:

Rockets: KD isn't getting any younger and I feel like we've seen enough of Sengun to know you can't really build around him, as he's not a very efficient scorer nor makes up for it on the defensive end, instead you retool and get a starting lineup of Allen/Jabari/MPJ/Amen/FVV with Schroder coming off the bench(this atleast allows Reed to play more offball which is good), and with MPJ being an expiring contract and Schroder being an expiring contract in 2027-28 they can optimize near future cap flexibility instead of running back a team that's most likely gonna fall short regardless, plus you get a boatload of picks.

Cavs: You move Evan Mobley to the 5, fully lean into facilitator Harden, and KD can be the secondary scorer next to D Mitch which takes pressure off of the backcourt to create offense(35yr old Harden can't be anything more than the 4th scoring option)

Nets: Right now they don't have a legitimate starting center and could very well use one that is pretty young, Sengun could be used as an offensive hub in Jordi Fernandez's offense and unlike in Houston they have the shooting and ballhandling with guys like Mikel and Demin to maximize Sengun's strengths as a player

Final "what I thnk every team should do" mock

Quick rant sesh here:

Yes, I have the Wizards taking DP over AJ. I think it's 1a and 1b and they've been flip flopping damn near every week in my mind but after reviewing both of their film and looking at some analytics I believe the Wizards should take perhaps the most talented scoring prospect since Kevin Durant and one of the most versatile scoring prospects ever, he can score literally anywhere one needs to in the halfcourt, plus he was a solid defender in Kansas across the board and I personally believe there's more in the tank when it comes to playmaking as his role in Kansas was more tailored toward a movement shooter/iso scorer when he got a favorable matchup.

Clippers go BPA at 5 and don't think about it in my mock. I don't see Darius Garland as the long term solution at the point and nor do I see them have any hope of contention in 2027 so taking the most talented offensive PG out of the 4(him, Wagler, Flemings, Brown).

10 for Bucks was one of the toughest picks to decide, I ultimately went with Steinbach but this is the one pick where I'm unsure of what to actually do here.

11 for GS, the Warriors don't pass up Cam Carr if he's there.

I also think Quaintance's injury concerns and lack of developed offensive game will cause him to fall from the end of the lottery to the 20s similar to Jakucionis last year

NBA Mock with brief explanations for some picks

https://preview.redd.it/izmrhb9r5z5h1.jpg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e462b8b4d3f0f5690a8eb7fb12f4c52b7feea29

Top 4 is close to a lock assuming the thing about Utah trading up is manufactured

#5. I had the Clippers taking Brown, it was between him and Wagler for 5(whichever one I didn't take would be a Net), but I think Brown has the highest upside out of the 4 guards mocked in the 5-9 range(him, Flemings, Wagler, and Acuff, not in order obviously), he also arguably has the best temporary fit next to Garland as a big guard that can play on or off the ball, has extended range from 3, and has a solid driving and playmaking game, while also being the 2nd best defender out of the 4.

#8. Flemings to ATL. I see a lot, and I mean, a LOT of people mocking Mara here at 8, I simply disagree with that, you take BPA and Flemings's ability to make life easier as a table setting PG will benefit the Hawks.

#10. Cameron Carr to Milwaukee. I think this is the highest upside pick available. He reminds me of a bouncier Devin Vassell who was a key 3&D guy in this Spurs finals run.

#11. Labaron Philon to the Bay. This one is gonna completely divide Dubs fans, and to those against it, my response is.. There's no guy outside of the top 3 that is going to immediately transform y'all into contenders. Philon has the highest upside while also having a clear role on this team as a legit secondary creator next to Steph that can score adequately at all 3 levels, is a good secondary playmaker. He's also proven he can be a nuisance defensively(freshman year) with his activity, quick hands, and agility.

#18. Bulls(trade back) for Meleek Thomas. As a Bulls fan, this is my guy in the draft. He's 6'5, elite movement shooter with promising flashes as a secondary ball handler, and he competed hard on defense. Me personally, I would rather do this than take a gamble on JQ's injury concerns and raw offensive game or Steinbach's iffy rim protection and meh 3pt shooting

#25. Tarris Reed Jr to the Lakers, an older prospect who can fulfill what Ayton was unable/unwilling to do consistently(set good screens, actually box out, roll hard to the rim, and just do all the dirty work).

#27. Christian Anderson to the Celtics, if the Celtics move of Derrick White this offseason, this can be a Pritchard replacement as PP will take over as the starting PG, and Anderson's 3pt shooting + playmaking can feast vs 2nd units at the next level.

Blazers new lineup:

C. Clingan

F. Camara

F. Deni

G. JB

G. Jrue

  1. Dame/Scoot

Celtics new lineup:

C. Queta

F. Tatum

F. Sharpe

G. White

G. PP

JB instantly gives them a go-to bucket when Deni's offense isn't there, and he adds to their already strong defense, as a versatile poa defender next to Jrue, Clingan, and Camara

Celtics blow it up take on Grant's bad deal, get a young, cheap, and athletic slasher in Sharpe, plus a boatload of picks

My OROY prediction: Jordyn Tyson

Explanation: I think Tyler Shough is the best pure passing QB heading into year 2 and I honestly think it will stay that way. I also think Tyson was WR1 in this draft barring injury concerns, and if you look at the actual injuries there wasn't a pattern, multi ligament tear in '22, horrific injury no doubt, however since then the other two injuries were a broken collarbone and hamstring issues. His ability to separate vs man or zone at all 3 levels of the field in addition to his body control and YAC upside give him easily the highest ceiling in this class and would walk in as the #2/1B to Olave immediately.

My DROY prediction: Caleb Downs

Explanation: I, like many people, think he was the best defensive player in this past draft. Also his archetype, the do-it-all "STAR" role (safety/big nickel that can move around the formation) is starting to become a premium in the NFL guys like Emmanwori, Branch, Hamilton, Pitre, DeJean, Lake on the Rams, and Derwin where their almost always impacting the play and I feel like DC Christian Parker will ensure he is as close to the ball as possible on every play, one play he's fitting the run, the next he's covering your slot or TE in man, and after that he's designed to take his quarter away.

My All-Rookie Team Prediction:

Offense(21 personnel they should change it to 11 or 12 personnel)

QB: Mendoza

RB1: Love

RB2: Price

WR1: Tyson

WR2: Tate

TE: Stowers

LT: Freeling

LG: Rutledge

C: Jones

RG: Ioane

RT: Fano

Defense(4-3):

DE: Bain

DT: Woods

DT: McDonald

DE: Bailey

LB: Trotter

LB: Styles

LB: Hill

CB: Delane

CB: Terrell

S: Downs

S: Thieneman
