Mock Draft 3.0: Wolves get their guards on

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 17:15:00 EDT

NBA Draft analyst Brian Levenson's final mock draft.

1. LA Clippers—PF Blake Griffin, Oklahoma University

I wish the rest of the draft was this easy to predict. From day one, Griffin has been the clear-cut favorite to be the top pick in this year's draft. While Griffin isn't as complete as many previous first-round picks have been, his combination of size and athleticism make him a very good pick for the Clippers. Clips fans have a lot to look forward to in a nice young core of Griffin, Al Thornton and Eric Gordon to go along with productive (while fragile) vets in Zach Randolph, Chris Kaman and Baron Davis.

Mock Draft 2.0

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 20:53:06 EDT

1. Clippers—PF Blake Griffin, Oklahoma

Analysis: Not much has changed here. Despite the fact that Griffin's measurements didn't blow anyone away in Chicago, he still remains the best player in this year's draft. Look for the Clips to try to move one of their overpriced and injury prone big men before the draft and build around a nice, young and athletic core of Griffin, Thornton and Gordon.

2. Memphis—PG Ricky Rubio, Spain

Analysis: This will get very interesting in the next 2 weeks. Reports out of Spain are that a major buyout could require some issues for whoever drafts Rubio. Combine that with some reports saying that he has no interest in playing in Memphis and this could be a recipe for disaster. The Griz could and should look to move back in the draft and get a guy that fits their team needs -- more like a Jordan Hill. Look for teams like the Wizards, Kings and even possibly the Knicks to try to move up so that they can get their hands on Rubio or Hasheen Thabeet. The Kings would make the most sense as Rubio would be a perfect fit and Memphis would most likely be able to get Hill for less money at four.The only problem is what could the Kings offer?
