pa dobro, draftexpress samo nurkica dize nerealno visoko. ocekivao sam da je bar vasu zakopao negdje duboko u drugu rundu. moguce da nakon combinea malo padnu svi sem sarica, nurkic vjerovatno ne bi bio draftovan ni blizu tako visoko da nije pekovica.

Evo vam i ostatak, ajde da ne bude da me mrzelo.

 

Our last Mock Draft, version 2.0, debuted a little more than a month ago.

Trying to project players (who had had played just half a season) to teams (which were still in the middle of the season) is challenging.

But as we move into the home stretch of both the college basketball and NBA seasons, theBig Board and the NBA standings are starting to give us a clearer picture of the draft.

There is still plenty of basketball to be played, both in college and the pros. This mock will continue to shift as players and teams evolve or regress. Our Lottery Mock Draft machineallows you to play out different scenarios with odds updated nightly.

But our third full Mock Draft of the year gives you a fuller view of the draft.

Remember, our Mock Draft is not a ranking of who we think the top players are. Instead, it's a reporting tool to convey our latest intel from NBA scouts and GMs on what each team might do in the draft.

Editor's note: The draft order for this mock was formulated based on games played through March 4.

1
Joel Embiid
Milwaukee Bucks
 
COLLEGE: Kansas
AGE: 19
HT: 7-0
WT: 250
POS: C
 

 

 

Milwaukee Bucks | 25 percent to win lottery

Analysis: The Bucks are the odds-on favorite to end up with the top pick in the draft. They have so many needs that they could really go in any direction here. However, it continues to appear that Embiid would be the top choice if the draft were held today. Embiid, who is sitting out the last two games of the regular season with a minor back injury, not only has the most upside of anyone in the draft with the possible exception of Andrew Wiggins, but he'd give the Bucks a true low-post scorer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2
Andrew Wiggins
Philadelphia 76ers
 
COLLEGE: Kansas
AGE: 18
HT: 6-8
WT: 200
POS: SG
 

Philadelphia 76ers | 19.9 percent to win lottery

Analysis: The 76ers are making an impressive push to get the No. 1 overall pick. But if they land Wiggins at No. 2, they'll be thrilled. He's currently the No. 1 player on their board. While Wiggins has had a bit of an up-and-down season, he has all the physical tools to be a big-time NBA player. Put him with Michael Carter-Williams and Nerlens Noel and the Sixers would be loaded with one of the most athletic teams in the league.

 

 

 

 

3
Dante Exum
Orlando Magic
 
COUNTRY: Australia
AGE: 18
HT: 6-6
WT: 188
POS: PG
 

 

 

Orlando Magic | 15.6 percent to win lottery

Analysis: The Magic are in the market for a point guard, and Exum would be the perfect complement to Victor Oladipo. Both players can handle either backcourt position and both bring great athletic ability to the table. If Exum can become a lights-out shooter, he has the chance to be a superstar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4
Jabari Parker
Boston Celtics
 
COLLEGE: Duke
AGE: 18
HT: 6-8
WT: 241
POS: SF
 

Boston Celtics | 11.9 percent to win lottery

Analysis: GM Danny Ainge isn't as in love with this draft as much as the rest of the league, but he'll still be stoked to land Parker here. Parker's abilities as a scorer and rebounder could make him an immediate upgrade at the 3 while giving the Celtics more incentive to move Jeff Green this summer.

5
Marcus Smart
Denver Nuggets
 
COLLEGE: Oklahoma St.
AGE: 19
HT: 6-4
WT: 225
POS: PG
 

Denver Nuggets | 7.6 percent to win lottery

Analysis: The Nuggets are benefiting here from the Knicks' woes. Julius Randle might be tempting, but they are loaded at the 4. Smart, on the other hand, gives them a guard who can play both backcourt positions and provides a defensive toughness the team has lacked since losing Andre Iguodala.

6
Julius Randle
Los Angeles Lakers
 
COLLEGE: Kentucky
AGE: 19
HT: 6-9
WT: 225
POS: PF
 

Los Angeles Lakers | 7.5 percent to win lottery

Analysis: Randle was considered one of the sure things in the draft at the beginning of the season but has struggled with consistency and constant double-teams. He'd be a great addition to the Lakers and perhaps the most NBA ready big man in the draft.

7
Aaron Gordon
Utah Jazz
 
COLLEGE: Arizona
AGE: 17
HT: 6-8
WT: 210
POS: F
 

Utah Jazz | 3.6 percent to win lottery

Analysis: Gordon isn't the most gifted scorer in the draft, but he makes up for it with elite athletic abilities, a motor that doesn't quit and a disruptive defensive game. The Jazz need a player like him who's willing to do all the little things to help his team win.

 

8
Tyler Ennis
Sacramento Kings
 
COLLEGE: Syracuse
AGE: 19
HT: 6-2
WT: 180
POS: PG
 

Sacramento Kings | 3.5 percent to win lottery

Analysis: The Kings love Isaiah Thomas, but he isn't a true point guard and his lack of size can hurt them. Ennis isn't flashy, but he's the sort of player you can trust to run the Kings' offense immediately. He doesn't have the upside of the other freshmen in this class, but he might be the most NBA-ready from day one.

9
James Young
Cleveland Cavaliers
 
COLLEGE: Kentucky
AGE: 18
HT: 6-7
WT: 200
POS: SF
 

Cleveland Cavaliers | 1.7 percent to win lottery

Analysis: The Cavs are in serious danger of losing Luol Deng this summer and will be in need of a starting small forward. While Young has struggled at times with his jump shot this season, many NBA scouts believe he has the chance to be a star.

10
Noah Vonleh
Philadelphia 76ers
 
COLLEGE: Indiana
AGE: 18
HT: 6-10
WT: 240
POS: PF
 

Philadelphia 76ers* | 1.1 percent to win lottery

Analysis: The Pelicans send this pick to the 76ers if it falls out of the top five as part of the deal that sent Jrue Holiday to New Orleans on draft night. If the Sixers grab a small forward with their first pick, an athletic, versatile power forward paired next to him seems like a great fit as well. Vonleh is brimming with talent. He can do a little of everything.

11
Gary Harris
Charlotte Bobcats
 
COLLEGE: Michigan St.
AGE: 19
HT: 6-4
WT: 210
POS: SG
 

Charlotte Bobcats# | 0.8 percent to win lottery

Analysis: The Bobcats love Gerald Henderson, but Harris may be a long-term upgrade on both ends of the floor. He too has struggled a bit with his jumper this season, but he's a rare two-way player and can give the Bobcats both scoring and defensive toughness.

12
Dario Saric
Orlando Magic
 
COUNTRY: Croatia
AGE: 19
HT: 6-10
WT: 223
POS: SF
 

Orlando Magic## | 0.7 percent to win lottery

Analysis: Many scouts think that Saric is one of the best talents in this draft. But his mercurial personality and questions about whether he'll really come to the NBA have hurt his draft stock a bit. Regardless, few players his size see the floor as well as he does.

13
Rodney Hood
Minnesota Timberwolves
 
COLLEGE: Duke
AGE: 21
HT: 6-8
WT: 180
POS: SG
 

Minnesota Timberwolves | 0.6 percent to win lottery

Analysis: The Timberwolves continue to need shooters, and Hood is one of the best in the draft. He can play multiple positions and has deep range. If he had a better in-between game, he'd be even higher.

14
Doug McDermott
Memphis Grizzlies
 
SCHOOL: Creighton
AGE: 22
HT: 6-7
WT: 210
POS: SF
 

Memphis Grizzlies | 0.5 percent to win lottery

Analysis: McDermott is an elite scorer at the college level, but NBA GMs like him at the next level because of his highly accurate shooting. It's unlikely he'll be a star in the NBA, but it would be hard to pass on a guy who can shoot the rock as well as he can.

15
Nik Stauskas
Boston Celtics
 
COLLEGE: Michigan
AGE: 20
HT: 6-6
WT: 205
POS: G
 

Analysis: Stauskas has proved to be one of the most lethal shooters in college basketball. He has a lightning-quick release and has also shown an ability to handle the ball and play point on occasion. With Rajon Rondo being a non-shooter and Avery Bradley being just an average one, adding Stauskas to the lineup gives the Celtics a serious floor-spacer.

16
Jerami Grant
Chicago Bulls
 
COLLEGE: Syracuse
AGE: 19
HT: 6-8
WT: 203
POS: SF

 

 

Analysis: Grant has similar tools and intangibles to Arizona's Aaron Gordon. He's an elite athlete who doesn't exactly have a position and isn't particularly polished offensively. However, his length and athletic abilities allow him to impact the game on both ends of the floor. For a defensive-minded coach like Tom Thibodeau, that matters.

17
K.J. McDaniels
Atlanta Hawks
 
COLLEGE: Clemson
AGE: 21
HT: 6-6
WT: 200
POS: F
 

Analysis: McDaniels has been steadily rising on draft boards all year. He's a super-athletic wing who finishes above the rim, rebounds at a high rate and is a fantastic shot-blocker. He's a bit of a "tweener" and his jump shot is inconsistent, but his athletic abilities alone are causing some NBA scouts to claim he could end up in the lottery by draft night. Sounds like he could be the Hawks' replacement for Josh Smith.

18
Clint Capella
Phoenix Suns
 
COUNTRY: Switzerland
AGE: 19
HT: 6-10
WT: 215
POS: PF
 

Analysis: Capella has been steadily rising on draft boards as some NBA scouts begin to make comparisons between him and Serge Ibaka. Capella rebounds, defends, blocks shots and is slowly becoming a better offensive player as well. The Suns could use an extra athletic body down low.

19
Zach LaVine
Chicago Bulls
 
COLLEGE: UCLA
AGE: 18
HT: 6-5
WT: 180
POS: PG
 

Analysis: LaVine has been pretty quiet since getting off to a hot start for UCLA. He could've been a potential lottery pick if he were given more shots as a freshman. He's got unlimited range on his jumper and is a super-explosive athlete. While LaVine has the potential to be a point guard in the NBA, the Bulls' primary interest in him will come as a lethal shooter to bring off the bench.

20
Chris Walker
Toronto Raptors
 
COLLEGE: Florida
AGE: 18
HT: 6-9
WT: 195
POS: SF
 

Analysis: Walker is another player who could've been a lottery pick had he played a full season with Florida. He's getting limited minutes on the No. 1 team in the country, but the potential is there, and Toronto GM Masai Ujiri has never shied away from grabbing a player based on what he can become. If Walker puts in the work, the Raptors could have a steal this late in the draft.

21
Willie Cauley-Stein
Phoenix Suns
 
COLLEGE: Kentucky
AGE: 20
HT: 7-0
WT: 220
POS: C
 

Analysis: Cauley-Stein hasn't necessarily been lighting it up, but his size, shot-blocking ability and upside still make him an intriguing prospect for a team like the Suns. He's not yet ready for the NBA, but the basic building blocks are there, and he's worth a gamble to the Suns at this draft spot.

22
P.J. Hairston
Oklahoma City Thunder
 
TEAM: Texas Legends
AGE: 21
HT: 6-5
WT: 220
POS: SG
 

Analysis: Hairston is yet another player who could've been in contention as a lottery pick had he stayed out of trouble over the summer. Getting kicked out of North Carolina didn't help his draft stock, but his play with the Texas Legends in the D-League has. While Hairston considerably cooled off from his hot start in February, his 36 points off the bench on Saturday is a reminder of what he's capable of. For a team like the Thunder, adding someone who can play right away at a position of need is a must.

23
Mario Hezonja
Utah Jazz++
 
COUNTRY: Croatia
AGE: 18
HT: 6-6
WT: 200
POS: SF
 

Analysis: Hezonja doesn't get a lot of playing time right now in Spain, but he's widely regarded by many scouts to be an elite prospect. He's a versatile scorer with excellent athletic abilities. Those don't come along every day. It's unclear whether he'll enter the draft, but if he does, the Jazz can afford to gamble on him with their second first-round pick.

24
Sam Dekker
Charlotte Bobcats
 
COLLEGE: Wisconsin
AGE: 19
HT: 6-8
WT: 215
POS: SF
 

Analysis: Dekker was a darling of the NBA scouting crowd last year, but he has had an up-and-down sophomore season. When his jump shot is falling, he can be one of the more versatile players in the draft. With Michael Kidd-Gilchrist still figuring things out, Dekker could provide the Bobcats with another look at small forward.

25
Montrezl Harrell
Los Angeles Clippers
 
COLLEGE: Louisville
AGE: 19
HT: 6-8
WT: 235
POS: PF
 

Analysis: Harrell is a terrific athlete and can be a beast on the boards. He's offensively limited and a little undersized but should provide the Clippers with some toughness at the 4 off the bench.

26
Adreian Payne
Houston Rockets
 
COLLEGE: Michigan State
AGE: 22
HT: 6-10
WT: 225
POS: PF
 

Analysis: Payne may be the best stretch 4 in the draft. It's taken him a long time to develop at Michigan State, but this season he's proved that he can get his shot off from anywhere and still mix it up under the basket. For a team that sports a limited offensive player like Dwight Howard in the middle, Payne provides excellent floor spacing.

Dobio Široki više od 8 razlike tako da je Zadar sada poslednji. 

 

Ako ovako ostane do kraja, koji tim iz Hrvatske ima najviše šanse da ode u ABA?

Rupnik je uspeo da u meču u kom vode skoro 20 razlike posle 3/4 bude ubedljivo najveća štetočina na terenu sa obe strane. Mentol.
