Chad Ford Mock Draft 7.0

Would you take Sullinger over Rivers?

Sullinger would he a bad pick unless we had someone on the hook for a good trade for Goose. I just don't see Sullinger as a substantial upgrade over Ayon. Ayon is a great passer, which could be awesome with a healthy Gordon and Davis to dish to. He's tough, too.

Yeah his size and the log jam we would have at PF would lead me to believe that we won't be drafting Sullinger.

Give me Rivers in that scenario.

Ford on the Sullinger pick:


Analysis: We've been assuming the Hornets would try to fill their hole at point guard here with a player like Damian Lillard or Kendall Marshall. They may. But the buzz has been around Jared Sullinger's name here. I could see why the Hornets would think that Davis and Sullinger would be an ideal pairing together. They complete each other.

I do, however, wonder whether Sullinger's weak results in the athletic testing portion of the draft combine might change their mind. Sully may be the worst athlete in the draft.

This is something we definitely don't need.

if the draft shakes out like this, i take rivers or pj3 (only if he shows he can play the 3, which he has not at this point).... do not want sullinger.

worst case scenario is if drummond, barnes (not at all likely to be there at 10 anyway), rivers and lillard go before 10.

So if Drummond falls to 6 we get Lillard?

Would toronto break their alleged promise to Waiters if Lillard was available?

hopefully we can make a move up and take drummond at 6, wishful thinking.
