88Tray’s 2018 Mock Draft 19-30
Atlanta Hawks
Zhaire Smith
Why? High risk, high reward. Hawks are rebuilding and have nothing to lose taking a flier on this kid.
Minnesota Timberwolves
Keita Bates Diop
Why? Taj Gibson can’t play with Thibbs forever. Scorer who can play the four position and open the floor more for Butler & Wiggins.
Utah Jazz
Kevin Huerter
Why? Donovan Mitchell is going to have the ball in his hands a lot, and it only makes sense to surround him with shooters.
Chicago Bulls
Chandler Hutchinson
Why? Denzel Valentine is the only other SF this team has on their roster.
Indiana Pacers
De’Anthony Melton
Why? Darren Collinson & Cory Joseph are under contract for only one more season.
Portland Trailblazers
Troy Brown
Why? Young defensive player which is needed with two ball dominant scoring guards.
Los Angeles Lakers
Moritz Wagner
Why? Big man who can spread the floor, for a Lakers team lacking depth in the front court.
Philadelphia 76ers
Dzanan Musa
Why? DRAFT & STASH. No need to spend any money on a player with their eyes set on LeBron, PG & Kawhi this offseason.
Boston Celtics
Josh Okogie
Why? Marcus Smart is a free agent and might be Boston’s only hole to fill this offseason.
Golden State Warriors
Grayson Allen
Why? Ready to play now!
Brooklyn Nets
Anfernee Simmons
Why? Shooting for the stars this late is the smart play here. Caris Lavert was a risk I’m sure the Nets aren’t mad they took.
Atlanta Hawks
Mitchell Robinson
Why? He’s a 7 footer who was in the McDonald’s All American game. There’s nothing to lose here with the last pick of the first round.

88 Tray’s 2018 Mock Draft 1-18.
Phoenix Suns
DeAndre Ayton
Sacramento Kings
Marvin Bagley
Atlanta Hawks
Luka Doncic
if not... Trae Young might be there guy so look for them to trade down to collect additional assets, while looking to get rid of unhappy Dennis Schroder.
Memphis Grizzlies
Wendell Carter Jr
if not... Look for Memphis to trade down to try to get rid of Chandler Parsons terrible contract.
Dallas Mavericks
Jaren Jackson Jr
if not... look for the Mavs to gamble big on Michael Porter Jr. Bamba could be a fit here, but after the failed Nerlens Noel experiment I think the Mavs bet on a player with a higher floor than Mohammed.
Orlando Magic
Trae Young
if not... It has to be either Sexton or SGA because nobody wants to watch a team being ran by DJ Augustin or Shelvin Mic in the year 2018 or 2010 for what that matter.
Chicago Bulls
Mohammed Bamba
if not... the Bulls need to either hope that one of the aforementioned bigs drop to them. Taking a risk on MPJ who is a similar player to the injury plagued LaVine they just traded for wouldn’t be smart.
Cleveland Cavaliers
Colin Sexton
if not... take MPJ and pray his back holds up. Period.
New York Knicks
Kevin Knox
if not... look for a scoring guard like Lonnie Walker or Sexton who can penetrate the lanes, something last year lottery pick Ntilikina struggled with.
Philadelphia 76ers
Mikal Bridges
if not... trade the pick along with Fultz and either Covington or Saric for Kawhi. If Porter Jr is still available he will be awfully tempting, however the process has dealt with enough injury plagued seasons. Now it’s all about action.
Charlotte Hornets
Shai Gilgeous Alexander
if not...
LA Clippers via Detroit
Michael Porter Jr
if not... Look for a more NBA ready player such as Miles Bridges or hope that one of the top 3 point guards are still available here for the taken.
LA Clippers
Jerome Robinson
if not... Robert Williams jumps off the floor like DeAndre, blocks shots like DJ (used to) and also went to school as.. you get where I’m going.
Denver Nuggets
Miles Bridges
if not... Will Barton might be gone once free agency starts so finding a scoring replacement like Lonnie Walker or taking a flier on a elite athlete like Zhaire Smith makes sense here.
Washington Wizards
Robert Williams
if not... there shouldn’t be a if not if Williams is here. Marcin Gortat has thrown shots at the Wizards best player and doesn’t fit the speed this team needs to be playing at.
Phoenix Suns
Aaron Holiday
Why?
Tyler Ulis started games for this team last season. Enough said.
Milwaukee Bucks
Lonnie Walker
Why? Plays above the rim and off the ball, two things necessary when playing with a star like the Greek Freak.
San Antonio Spurs
Donte Divencenzo
Why? He does everything right and would thrive playing for another terrific coach system just like he did playing under Jay Wright at Villanova.

NBA Mock Draft 2017
NBA FINAL MOCK DRAFT 2017
Trevon Cheatham
1)Philadelphia 76ers
Markelle Fultz
Other Potential Draftees:
None
Why? Can play with the ball in his hands, or off the ball. Perfect compliment to the Ben Simmons experience that the 76ers fans and people who've never questioned #TheProcess have been waiting to see.
2)Los Angeles Lakers
Lonzo Ball
Other Potential Draftees:
De'Aaron Fox
Why? "Lonzo Ball will be drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers" and that's the bottom line because Triple BS is here to stand because LAVAR BALL SAID SO. It's also a great fit because of his playmaking and pass first mentality, in which coach Luke Walton is all for.
3)Boston Celtic
Jayson Tatum
Other Potential Draftees:
Josh Jackson, Jonathan Isaac
Why? The Celtics drafted Jaylen Brown last year and drafting Josh Jackson would be a little repetitive. Jayson Tatum can come in and score 12-15 as a rookie and take some of the scoring load off the 5'9 IT.
4)Phoenix Suns
Josh Jackson
Other Potential Draftees:
De'Aaron Fox, Dennis Smith Jr.
Why? Perfect fit alongside Devin Booker & Chriss. TJ Warren and Josh Jackson can switch offense for defense and would work together in small ball lineups.
5)Sacramento Kings
De'Aaron Fox
Other Potential Draftees:
Josh Jackson, Jayson Tatum
Why? Everything points to this kid being a star in this league. Well almost everything. His jumper still needs work (try telling that to Lonzo Ball) but should come along with more gym time. Mike Conley at worst, John Wall at best only the Kings can mess this one up if he fell in their lap.
6)Orlando Magic
Jonathan Isaac
Other Potential Draftees:
Dennis Smith Jr, Lauri Markkanen
Why? Greek Freak. Thon Maker. Those names alone are the reason why the Orlando Magic call Isaac's name if still on the board under new GM John Hammond. Tall, lanky, athletic. Check. Check. Check.
7)Minnesota Timberwolves
Lauri Markkanen
Other Potential Draftees:
Jonathan Isaac, Malik Monk
Why? If I had to predict the first trade of the draft it would be in this slot. Thibbs is known for his defense but the best players at this pick are not his preference. Monk & Markkanen will bring offense to the table right away, but that's not exactly the problem with the Wolves. If they stand though I guess you can't go wrong with either one.
8)New York Knicks
Frank Ntilikina
Other Potential Draftees:
Malik Monk, Dennis Smith Jr.
Why? Because stars who break out for a career high 6 made field goals in the playoffs (overseas) are rare finds in the draft you know. Phil Jackson is stubborn about forcing the Knicks to play the triangle, and this guy is tall and can play defense overseas apparently. Knicks fans should be hoping the Mavericks leap frog their team so the Knicks can draft a superior talent in Dennis Smith Jr.
9)Dallas Mavericks
Dennis Smith Jr.
Other Potential Draftees:
Frank Ntilikina, Lauri Markkanen
Why? Yogi Ferrell, Seth Curry just ain't it. Role players at the point will only get you so far in today's NBA. Mavericks will get the steal of the draft if Smith Jr falls into their lap at 9. Rick Carslisle is one of the most underrated coaches in the league and will get everything out of this kid.
10)Sacramento Kings
Zach Collins
Other Potential Draftees:
Malik Monk, Harry Giles, Justin Jackson
Why? Best big available. Malik Monk might be too redundant to Buddy Hield to draft even with his Kentucky ties with #5 pick De'Aaron Fox. In only 17 minutes per game you Zach Collins revealed he is everything an big man needs to be in today's NBA.
11)Charlotte Hornets
Malik Monk
Other Potential Draftees:
Luke Kennard, Donovan Mitchell
Why? Every time MKG shoots a jumper a tear flows from Chuck Hayes free throws technique. Malik Monk is instant offense. Would work well with Kemba & Batum facilitating and providing him with good looks to make up for his so-so ball handling skills.
12)Detroit Pistons
Donovan Mitchell
Other Potential Draftees:
Luke Kennard, John Collins
Why? Ish Smith is a career backup, yet he started plenty of games last season for the Pistons while Reggie Jackson struggled to return to form after his surgery. Mitchell at worse is a capable defender, whom improved his outside shooting and has a chance at developing into a quality starter down the road.
13)Denver Nuggets
John Collins
Other Potential Draftees:
Bam Adebayo, Harry Giles
Why? The Nuggets need to find a athletic big to run along with Nikola Jokic. Collins judging from the workouts look the part of a finisher with the potential to spread the court, and protect the rim.
14)Miami Heat
TJ Leaf
Other Potential Draftees:
Justin Jackson, Harry Giles
Why? Defense is a question mark so putting him with one of the best defensive centers only makes sense. Luke Babbitt received plenty of playing time for the Heat last year and Leaf can easily replace him.
15)Portland Trailblazers
Bam Adebayo
Other Potential Draftees:
Harry Giles, Justin Jackson
Why? Ed Davis and Noah Vonleh are solid but aren't getting any better. Bam didn't get to show off too much in his lone year in Lexington but future may be brigther than Coach Cal may have let loose.
16)Chicago Bulls
Luke Kennard
Other Potential Draftees:
Josh Jackson, Terrance Ferguson, Jarret Allen
Why? Jimmy Butler, D.Wade & Rondo need space. Kennard may be the best shooter in this draft and the Bulls need to give into Fred Hoiberg's system and help him spread the floor.
17) Milwaukee Bucks
Harry Giles
Other Potential Draftees:
Bam Adebayo, Justin Patton
Why? Bucks have had success shooting for the stars and the moon in recent drafts and they will hope to strike again. Knee surgeries and lack of production drops Giles out of the lottery, but was one of the top prospects coming out of high school.
18)Indiana Pacers
Justin Jackson
Other Potential Draftees:
Tyler London, Terrance Ferguson
Why? Somebody is going to have to score the ball when PG13 packs his bags and heads home, or wherever he ends up before he goes home.
19)Atlanta Hawks
Justin Patton
Other Potential Draftees:
O.G Anunoby, Terrance Ferguson
Why? They let go of Dwight Howard and Paul Milsap is likely next to go. Somebody is going to need to occupy those minutes.
20)Portland Trailblazers
Isaiah Hartenstein
Other Potential Draftees:
Kyle Kuzma, Justin Patton
Why? With three draft picks in the first round the Trailblazers are likely to spend one on a player they can stash and bring over in a couple years.
21)Oklahoma City Thunder
Terrance Ferguson
Other Potential Draftees:
Justin Jackson, Harry Giles
Why? Opted to play in Australia rather than going to college and struggled. Still was highly touted coming out of high school and the Thunder hope he can regain his shooting stroke and grow into the running mate MVP Westbrook needs.
22)Brooklyn Nets
DJ Wilson
Other Potential Draftees:
O.G Anunoby, Tony Bradley
Why? Brooklyn will be paying 9 million for Trevor Booker again this year, a player who is solid but doesn't thread the needle. In DJ Wilson Nets hope to find his replacement and a player who can develop into a high end role player.
23)Toronto Raptors
Jonah Bolden
Other Potential Draftees:
Tony Bradley, Tyler London
Why? Patrick Patterson and Serge Ibaka are both free agents, and Masai Uijiri isn't afraid to take a flyer on a prospect who may turn out to be the next Greek Freak, but more than likely to be the next Bruno Caboclo.
24)Utah Jazz
Jarrett Allen
Other Potential Draftees:
Kyle Kuzma, Jawaun Evans
Why? Derrick Favors is a free agent, and his athleticism seems to be on the way. Finding a cheap replacement who can spell the Stifel Tower for short minutes should be answer here.
25)Orlando Magic
Frank Jackson
Other Potential Draftees:
Jonah Bolden, Tyler London
Why? Magic passed on drafting a PG with their sixth pick so look for them to pick up one here with their second first round pick.
26)Portland Trailblazers
Tyler London
Other Potential Draftees:
Derrick White, Tony Bradley
Why? Blazers need more shooting from their front court. Mo Harkless & Aminu are not that. Blazers draft Tyler hoping he can develop into a low ceiling Chandler Parsons.
27)Los Angeles Lakers
Derrick White
Other Potential Draftees:
Ivan Rabb, Ike Anigbogu
Why? With Nick Young and D'Angelo both on their way out the Lakers need to find players to fill out their guard rotation. A senior who can do more than one thing is a good way to start.
28)Los Angeles Lakers
Jordan Bell
Other Potential Draftees:
Josh Hart, Wesley Iwundu
Why? Tarik Black has done all he can to prove he's a NBA player, but now it's time to find his replacement. There's no question what Jordan Bell's role will be.. defense and rebounding. Another local kid, and if all things fail you can at least say Magic has made a couple So Cal natives dream come true.
29)San Antonio Spurs
Josh Hart
Other Potential Draftees:
Derrick White, Wesley Iwundu
Why? Danny Green on the trading block with his replacement on the way. Everything about Josh Hart game, demeanor screams Spurs player. Or they will draft a player no one ever heard of, stash him, and wait for him to be the perfect system player.
30)Utah Jazz
Kyle Kuzma
Other Potential Draftees:
Frank Mason, Semi Ojeleye
Why? Gordon Hayward and Joe Ingles are both free agents and the Jazz may be on the lookout for a potential replacement.
