We did this last year, let's make group mock for the lottery picks again. Each poll will be open for one day so that we should finish this two weeks from now. The group mock will be followed by a team by team forum draft once the lottery has determined the order.
If you feel like anyone is missing on the following choice, just write them in and I will add it. Please do not just vote, if you have the time also state your opinion why you chose the respective player.
hmm, i was in very big doubt wether to choice augustin or westbrook, but im going with augustin, because i see him as the one with the most upside of the 2. westbrook is the bether defender, but i like augustin in the open court bether.
I've picked mostly on talent/potential and here I went with Jordan. But if you look at Charlotte I think they could go with any of Jordan, Love, or Randolph and I actually see the latter two as being better fits with Okafor.

Talking about fits, they could also go with Arthur

Id probably go with Love actually (pun not intended). Hes a unique player, and someone will have a need for a solid bigman with good passing skills. Depends whose on the board, but Love or Arthur could be the pick.
"If you've ever seen Iverson play in person, you know that his improvisational skills are amazing. Baron Davis calls him unguardable. He's a killer on the fast break. One on one, even one on two, when the guy they call the Answer is on a one-way trip to the basket, you better just foul him. People can hate all day about the number of shot attempts. But, damn, give him props for even getting them up. He's small enough to have every shot contested. That 39% shooting sounds terrible to the regular reader, but have you seen these NBA players lately?"
