Default Bored AF Mock Draft 1.0

1) GSW --> Anthony Edwards, SG, Georgia (best pure talent in the draft)

2) ATL --> Deni Avdija, SF, Maccabi Tel Aviv (skilled wing to take pressure off Trae)

3) CLE --> Obi Toppin, PF, Dayton (PnR partner for young guards)

4) MIN --> LaMelo Ball, PG, Illawarra (tall 1 to complement D'Angelo, a short 2)

5) DET --> James Wiseman, C, Memphis (can't pass up his talent here)

6) NYK --> Cole Anthony, PG, UNC (need a competent guard almost as badly as the U.S. needs a competent President)

7) CHI --> Killian Hayes, SG, Ulm (French combo guard playing in Germany, high skill level)

8) CHA --> Tyrese Haliburton, PG, Iowa St. (has the frame and game to play alongside Devonte Graham)

9) WAS --> Onyeka Okongwu, C, USC (drops due to size and old-school game)

10) PHX --> Tyrese Maxey, G, Kentucky (Suns thrilled to find the two-way guard at 10)

11) SAS --> Isaac Okoro, F, Auburn (Spurs take the defensive minded wing with loads of potential... sound familiar?)

12) POR --> Devin Vassell, G/F, Florida St. (3&D guy with elite intangibles)

13) SAC --> Aleksej Pokuševski, C, Olympiacos (perimeter big who needs time but could ultimately complement Bagley well)

14) NOP --> Josh Green, G/F, Arizona (relatively safe 3&D guy to put next to Zion)

15) ORL --> Aaron Nesmith, SG, Vanderbilt (they need scoring, and Nesmith might be the best shooter in the class)

16) MIN --> Patrick Williams, F, Florida State (need some wing defenders around their scorers)

17) BOS -->Isaiah Stewart, C, Washington (Celts have been looking for a center, and Stewart brings an inside presence they lack)

18) DAL --> R.J. Hampton, G, New Zealand Breakers (Mavs gamble on the sliding DFW product despite questions about shot and skill... his elite explosion adds a needed dimension to the Mavs)

19) MIL --> Vernon Carey, Jr., C, Duke (not the perimeter defender teams want, but has an elite inside game)

20) BKN --> Paul Reed, PF, DePaul (elite defender at the 4 who can complement KD and Irving)

21) DEN --> Tyler Bey, SF, Colorado (they take the local product with the all-around game)

22) PHI --> Nico Mannion, PG, Arizona (falls due to questions about physical limitations, but Philly needs his shooting)

23) MIA --> Kira Lewis, PG, Alabama (Dragic's contract is up and they need someone ready to take the reigns)

24) UTA --> Jaden McDaniels, F, Washington (highly ranked HS recruit who has been underwhelming in college)

25) OKC --> Saddiq Bey, F, Villanova (good wing scorer with questions about athleticism and defense)

26) BOS --> Theo Maledon, PG, ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne (Tony Parker's understudy, true floor general)

27) NYK --> Jahmi'us Ramsey, SG, Texas Tech (desperate to alleviate some of the scoring pressure on RJ, the Knicks take two guards in a row)

28) TOR --> Jalen Smith, C, Maryland (Raptors are thrilled to find a competent two-way rim-rolling big man with Ibaka and Gasol potentially leaving)

29) LAL --> Devon Dotson, PG, Kansas (Lakers take the defensive minded point who can get to the rim)

30) BOS --> Amar Sylla, PF, Oostende (With three first round picks, Celts have the benefit of being able to roll the dice on Sylla's unlimited upside)


*** BONUS ***

31) DAL --> Precious Achiuwa, F/C, Memphis (ahh yes, finally some draft luck for the Mavs who through some convoluted series of trades end up with the Warriors draft pick in possibly the only season the pick is worth anything in a decade of dominance.... Mavs go with the talented but undeveloped Precious Achiuwa who along with Hampton injects some much needed athleticism into the Mavs)
