43. LA Lakers - Willie Warren
51. Oklahoma City - Tiny Gallon

Willie at 43 overall would be a great get for the lakers.

This is the site that no one likes right, always wrong and what not?

Sam Presti is too smart to waste time with Gallon.I could see him reaching late for WW but not Gallon.

People say that. I have asked many times for empirical evidence that -- this far out from the draft -- they are significantly worse at picking the spot where players will go, but no one has ever provided any.

Kobe is a big WW fan

That would be a pretty big steal if LA got him that late in the second round and I could see OKC working because I think assistant coach Ron Adams can work extensively with him on defense and the development of Russell Westbrook under Maurice Cheeks makes me think it can be possible with Willie. He would also be surrounded by a group of not only young players but high character players. Even though they already have Maynor and Westbrook on the roster I could see Presti taking him knowing his history of taking gambles. As far as Tiny goes, I just don't see him being drafted.

that is a fan site ... no scouts on staff .. no connections ... just a fan like you or I

draftexpress and chad ford espn.com .. are the legit sites

I will be absolutely shocked if Tiny isn't drafted. Big men, even projects, are at such a premium in the NBA and his upside is high enough that he will definitely get drafted. I could even see him having a long productive career if he works hard to develop his game.

Tiny Gallon is not a Presti-type pick at all. He prefers long athletes who can cover a lot of ground and play swarming defense. He can't play PF in their system. D.J. White has been outstanding offensively in his very limited minutes with the Thunder, yet he spent most of this season in the D-League because he can't defend well enough.

You can't really check their history versus other sites because the only mock drafts in their archives are the ones released on the day of the draft. Their draft board isn't that bad a day or two before the draft (which isn't saying much, as most NBA diehards could do the same thing at the point due to the extensive pre-draft coverage by other sites); however, it's really bad most of the time.

You are confusing Tiny with a big man. Tiny game is more of a point guard in a big man's body without the speed and quick and dribbling ability. It will be surprising if Tiny is drafted

Agree he won't want Gallon's baggage.

This site must be a joke if they think Presti would take Gallon.

They already have Mullins.
