11/29 update: New mock draft from Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation to add to our November comp which brings us to 6 for the month. Some interesting picks here including Demin going before Bailey, Ian Jackson to the Spurs at #15 and Jase Richardson going to the Grizzlies at #21. Noah Penda from France also popped on O’Donnell and Wass’s mocks this month, so definitely one to keep an eye on.
11/21 update: Three new mocks to compare for November including an updated mock from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, the first of the season for the No Ceilings crew, and an updated version from yours truly. Lots to chew on here amongst the five mock drafts for November!
Again, I feel like this draft is incredibly rich in my personal favorite position–point guards. And these are big point guards too. This is honestly a dream scenario for NBA front offices. With big point guards teams can make up for having undersized wings. Plus, for teams who already have a point guard who is more of a scorer, they can pair them with a rookie who can handle and do more of the playmaking. Then, you get the Warriors or Celtics-type of action, where various players can dribble, shoot, and make plays. For this reason, I have the Spurs taking Nolan Traore and Kasparas Jakucionis as their top 10 picks. Pairing those two with Stephon Castle and Wemby and Sochan and Vassell makes for a super dangerous and versatile team.
For this month’s mock draft comparison, we are carrying over the late October mock from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report to compare against new mock drafts from Tankathon and Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony/ESPN. Not too many changes this month in the top 10, but Egor Demin and Tre Johnson seemed to be creeping up a bit after strong starts to the season.
Keep checking back as I’ll be updating this post throughout the month and/or follow @hoopsdistillery on Twitter for update alerts.
