NBA Mock Draft 1.0: The Poetry of Upside

Filed under: NBA Draft

Everyone does mock drafts for their own reasons. Some truly have inside knowledge and help set a real tone for how things will go when David Stern takes the podium. Others think they have inside knowledge and make fools of themselves. Some insist they know what teams ought to do and belittle the GMs who think differently. Others truly do know what teams ought to do, are never wrong, and present their analysis in impeccably stylish format.



This last subset consists of FanHouse (did I mention "modesty" in there?), so allow me to present our first mock draft of the season. Because mock drafts are inherently boring, I set this version to senryu, which looks a lot like haiku, except that it doesn't revolve around the anatomy of caterpillars or which way the wind blows at the river's bend. Senryu, for our purposes, is all about finger guns, Indiana's affinity for unathletic white Americans and KAAAAAAHN!

Note that draft order won't be set until May -- the order for our draft follows the standings. Note that Utah owns the Knicks' pick, and the Bucks will get the Bulls pick provided the Bulls earn a top-10 pick. Also note that I have zero inside information, and I cannot be trusted to correctly prognosticate any of the choices, especially that of the Kings, the team which I know best.
