#30- Golden State
Warriors: Evan Fournier, SG France
The Warriors franchise is amidst a rebuild phase, but have
decided to go for the “quick success” route, as evidence by their moves at the
past trade deadline. This puts the Warriors in the position to just grab the
best possible talent available and overseas prospect Evan Fournier would be a
great value for the Warriors at 30. Fournier can straight-up score the
basketball and would be a nice fit in the backcourt playing besides with
Stephen Curry.
#29- Chicago Bulls:
Tryshawn Taylor, PG Kansas
With Derrick Rose out for the majority of the 2012-13
season, the Bulls are in need of a PG. At the 29th pick, the best available
point guard is Tryshawn Taylor, who just so happens to be a perfect fit for
Bulls’ coach Tom Thibodeau’s system. Taylor brings speed, toughness, and point
guard experience to the table, also making him a solid backup for the post-injury
Rose.
#28- Oklahoma City
Thunder: Khris Middleton, SF Texas A&M
As Charles Barkley has probably informed you by now, the
Oklahoma City Thunder are a jump shooting team. The problem is, at times Thabo
Sefolosha, Daequan Cook, and Derek Fisher can’t exactly consistently sink long-range
jumpers. Enter Khris Middleton. The 6-8 SF has excellent range, plus the length
and athleticism to defend the Western Conference’s elite wings.
#27- Miami Heat:
Doron Lamb, SG Kentucky
Despite what watching the Finals on TV might’ve shown you,
Mike Miller and Shane Battier have not shot the three particularly well while
playing in a Heat uniform. With Lebron and Wade (and Bosh, to a lesser extent)
on the court, all the Heat really need is a player capable of consistently
hitting the open three and playing defense. That makes Doron Lamb, the
long-range sniper from Kentucky (48% FG3 for his college career), a perfect
match for the reigning champs.
#26- Indiana Pacers: Will Barton, SG Memphis
Indiana is a solid team all around, but you would say their
biggest need is depth at the wing positions. The Pacers will look to address
this need on draft night and SG Will Barton would be a good pick for them at 26.
Barton’s strong effort, high energy game is exactly what the Pacers lack when
Danny Granger and Paul George are taken out of the game.
This concludes Daily Shootout's NBA Mock Draft! Tune in at 8:00 P.M to see how well did! Enjoy!
