Shooting Guard. Troy Brown. 29. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Oregon. 18. player

I love Troy Brown. I love his fit on the Spurs.  Everything about this selection makes the world make sense.  Especially when you consider the department of Manu and the likely exist of Leonard.  If it looks like a Spurs player, if it talks like a Spurs player, it should become a Spurs player.

Dzanan Musa seems like another Spurs type pick.

Pick Analysis. None. player. Scouting Report. Center. Mitchell Robinson. 17. 89

I like the way the Bucks approach the draft.  Find the craziest risk in the draft, close your eyes, and make that selection.  In this draft that leaves them with Simmons or Robinson.  Thon Maker hasn’t worked out quite right and they could use a little more skill inside.  It almost make sense.

If they come to their senses and decide to draft like a normal team, I’ll bet this will end up being Aaron Holiday.

Pick Analysis. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. player. Scouting Report. Point Guard. Kentucky. 16. 66

It’s the Suns and a Kentucky guard. If he’s still here at 16, the blood oath that Ryan McDonough made with coach Coach Cal dictates that the Suns have to take him.  Yes, that’s the same line I had from mock 2.0 but it still holds true.  The Suns need a point guard, Kentucky has a point guard…you’ve seen this story a time or two.

I don’t imagine the Suns will pick here.  I’ve got to imagine they package this up and trade for a player higher in the draft.  Wouldn’t be heart broken if Lonnie Walker fell to them here.
