NBA 2012 EXTENDED MOCK DRAFT (Lottery 1-14)

The 2012 NBA class is considered one of the deepest classes considered in history, where if Kyrie Irving had not declared, he would have been picked late in the lottery, so now let us begin,

1. Anthony Davis, PF 6'10 208 lbs, Kentucky
This Kentucky commit was once unranked as a tiny skinny PG in high school, but miraculously grew several inches and became the PF he is, with the speed and court vision of the PG he once was, athletic, mobile, and unselfish, if he works on his jumper and bulks up, could be the next big thing.
Comparison: Lebron James/Shareef Abdul-Karim

2. Harrison Barnes, SF 6'8 215 lbs, North Carolina
Barnes just went to CP3 camp to tone his ballhandling, will he come back a more complete player, big time athlete, though not on LBJ or Carmelo level, he can do a little bit of everything, rebound, pass, steal, block, and score, and has a little Luol Deng in him, now if he can pass that expectation.....
Comparison: Better Luol Deng/Julian Wright

3. James McAdoo, SF/PF 6'9 223 lbs, North Carolina
McAdoo, like his father Bob McAdoo, is a bigtime athlete with similar skills to Davis, however he is a gymrat, and grew up watching and playing basketball after his father, somewhat a tweener, but with his athletism and speed he can probably play both 3 and 4 in the NBA.
Comparison: Amare Stoudemaire/Brandan Wright

4. Perry Jones, SF/PF 6'11 235 lbs, Baylor
Although Perry Jones was suspended for 5 games, coming back to Baylor was a good thing, with the graduation of Dunn, he can now have a undersized SG who does not hog the ball, big, EXTREMELY ATHLETIC, and was in a similar situation like Davis where he now has the passing ability of a PG, in the right situation, he can strive and become the next LBJ.
Comparison: Taller LBJ/Anthony Randolph

5. Quincy Miller, SF 6'9 200 lbs, Baylor
Speed/quickness of a lead guard, however he also inherited their strength, Miller will have to play the 3, which he has no problem as he is similar to almost all of his predecessors, with excellent athletic ability, he can be an MVP.
Comparison: Alot better MVP candidate Hedo Turkoglu/ Regular smelly Turkoglu

6 . Jared Sullinger, PF 6'9 286 lbs, Ohio State
Huge beast on the block, dropped his stock after not declaring, big time rebounder, hustles, however a little short as a PF and tended to get his shot blocked, will have to improve jumper to take OSU to new heights.
Comparison: Zach Randolph/ Chris Washburn

7. Jeremy Lamb, SG 6'5 185 lbs, UConn
Long athletic combo guard, with Kemba Walker gone, must carry the scoring load, has what it takes to be an allstar, jumper is super sweet.
Comparison: Ray Allen/OJ Mayo

8. Marquis Teague, PG 6'2 178 lbs, Kentucky
Another part of Kentucky's elite recruiting class, Teague is a athletic quick PG with major scoring ability, has passing and court vision to be a pure PG, but likes to score more, ,must bulk up and create for others instead of forcing issue.
Comparison: Derrick Rose/ Stephon Marbury

9. Myck Kabongo, PG 6'2 160 lbs, Texas
A Canada native Kabongo is one of the purest PGs ever to be seen, looking at highlights, you will only find smart, creative, and on target passes, great shooter, and SUPREME QUICKNESS, while not a huge leaper, some PGs will only see his back.
Comparison: Rondo who averages 20/15, Rondo who averages 16/8

10. Brad Beal, SG 6'4 195 lbs, Florida
Pure scorer, good athlete, needs to work on ball handle, great smooth jumper, needs to improve decision making.
Comparison: Reggie Miller/ Ben Gordon

11. Austin Rivers, PG/SG 6'4 198 lbs, Duke
Son of Doc Rivers, big combo guard, highly touted, has passing ability, relies to much on right hand, fast, good athlete and jumper, has some Dwade in him, must improve ability to create.
Comparison: Dwayne Wade/ Bigger Jason Terry

12. Michael Gilchrist, SF 6'6 216, Kentucy
Small SF, great athlete, ok jumper, must improve ball handling, will probably win lots of Dunk Contests, learn under Coach Cal.
Comparison: Shawn Marion/ Sonny Weems

13. Adonis Thomas, SF 6'7, 217 lbs, Memphis
SF with leaping ability, must improve jumper, good court vision, can be one of the best players in draft.
Comparison: 20/7/5 Demar Derozan, Wesley Johnson

14. Terrence Jones, SF 6'8 244 lbs, Kentucky
Big SF with good court vision, rebounds, unselfish, ugly ass jumper, MUST IMPROVE JUMPER, can be a good tweener, athletic and quick.
Comparison: Super Lamar Odom, LA Clippers Lamar Odom

You wouldn't put Rivers higher up? I would at least have him in my top 10...
