As I have done every year since this stuff started, I get the Atlanta Hawks.
My team picks 8, 10, 35, 41, and 44... so I will be busy.
It is time to get our annual mock draft going. Seeing as we know college hoops better than anyone, it just makes sense that we would be the ones to do the best mock draft anywhere
If you want to see how this has gone in the past, here are some of the other DBR Mock Drafts we have done:
2018
2017
2016
2015
2014
2013
2012
Anyway, this is pretty simple. Here is how it works:
You sign up to GM a team. The method for singing up is to post in this thread with the team you want. Whoever claims a team first, gets that team. You can only sign up for one team, though we may allow folks to GM a second team if we run short of GMs. If you can, please choose to select to GM a team that you know well. You will be expected to not just make your pick, but back up the rationale for that pick based on team needs and other factors. You can expect your pick to be discussed and debated by others, so be prepared to defend it and a knowledge of the team you are picking for is a big part of that process.
THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB OF THE GM IS TO MAKE TIMELY PICKS!! In fact, this is the only job of the GM. When it is your turn, you make a pick and explain your rationale. There are no trades allowed. The NBA's draft order today is the order we will use.
Very important -- Do not make us wait many hours for you to make your pick. Every picker will be on the clock. If you fail to make your pick in a timely fashion, I will draft for you based on the best available player on the various NBA mock draft boards. Here is how the clock will work.
Mon-Fri between 8am and 8pm ET, the clock is 4 hours. Make a pick in 4 hours or forfeit your pick to me (or some other designated picker).
Sat and Sun, the clock is 6 hours between 8am and 8pm ET (to allow for people who have activities away from the computer on weekends).
Please note -- you are allowed (and encouraged) to make picks before your time is up and you are allowed to make picks late at night even though the clock is suspended. Also, if you are worried you will not be available and can see your pick is coming up, PM some possible picks to me and I can post it for you.
Any further questions, either PM me or post in this thread.
Ok, here is the draft order. Start signing up right away. Assuming we have GMs for every team by the middle of the week, we will get things started on Wednesday, the 5th. The real NBA draft is Thursday June 20th so we have plenty of time to get ours done.

Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

Celtics please!

I'll take the 76ers who select 24, 33, 34, 42 and 54.
Bob Green
I will take the Warriors.
As usual, I will also do the comparison between our draft and the real draft.
Brooklyn Nets please
“Those two kids, they’re champions,” Krzyzewski said of his senior leaders. “They’re trying to teach the other kids how to become that, and it’s a long road to become that.”
Bulls please!
Lakers, please.
I'll take the Cavs. Any chance Zion falls to me at 5?
I’ll draft for the Phoenix Suns.
Knicks, please.
Jazz pls.
Kyle gets BUCKETS!

Hornets for me

I know we give them heck but I like both prospects. No way Coby falls that far.
This will be the earliest pick I think I've ever made on here. I've nailed the last 2 drafts picking at the end (Hart and Robinson) so now I wanna try a little closer to the front.

I'll take the Miami Heat...
I'll take the Spurs, please.
I have missed the last couple years so glad to get a chance this year.
Will take the Kings - who have NBA's equivalent of the lanterne rouge as well #40 and #47
