WRG 2012 Mock Draft - #4 Cleveland Cavaliers

Our plan:

1. Draft around our NEW franchise player.

2. Wait two years.


3. Sign our OLD franchise player.  All is forgiven.


4. Win eight Championships.

And since we need almost everything and won't be contending until 2014, we will take an intimidating, freakishly built, athletic rim protector even if he is a bit of a project.  He might not ever be good during his rookie contract, but we shouldn't have any trouble re-signing him if everything goes according to plan.  

If it doesn't (and it better) - hey - these guys don't grow on trees!

The Cavaliers select Andre Drummond, C, Connecticut

Everybody pretend this guy never went to college.

WRG 2011 Mock Draft - #4 Cleveland Cavaliers

We got our man with the first pick, and now we want to hit another home run. We want a big man to pair with our little man. Our fans may curse our former superstar till the day he retires, but they loved the other mainstay of our team, Big Z, so we feel like it would be a disservice to our city to try to replace him with another Lithuanian big man in Jonas Valanciunas. Plus, we don't want to deal with the hassle of his reported buyout.

This leaves another mystery big man. The little that we've watched him play, he's been very impressive. He dominated the Nike Hoops Summit last year, and we are sure he's not another Saer Sene. His coach has nothing but the best to say about him, but he never played. There are questions, and Enes will give us the answers. Kyrie to Enes for the next 10 years? We love it and hope our fans do too.

Cowboy up mystery man

WRG 2010 Mock Draft - #4 Minnesota Timberwolves

     
We're so cool right now.  Nobody is freaking out.  We all have very professional looks on our faces.

Juuuuuust walk slowly to the podium and hand in the card.  Don't strut - just stroll.  Be cool, man.  Be cool.

We are all Fonzies right now.  And what is Fonzie like?  What is Fonzie like?

He's cool.  That's what we are.  Cool.

Oh, yeah.  We are so cool.

With the 4th pick in the 2010 draft, the Minnesota TIMBERWOLVES SELECT!!!!!!!!!  - um.  Ahem. (coolfonziescool)  The Minnesota Timberwolves select Evan Turner.  Whew.

 Hello, Barcelona?
   

WRG Mock Draft: #4, Sacramento Kings

The Kings are jumping up and down because we need a PG and now we have our choice of all of them.

PG is the strongest and deepest position in this draft. There are several to choose from and they come in many different flavors. There are flashy distributors, bull-strong scorers, solid all-arounders and guys representing every color in the intangibles rainbow - good and bad.

The player we want, though, is the one most likely to make our guys better. We have a talent deficit. We have solid developing bigs and a big-time scorer, but we go into almost every game with less talent than the other team. That's tough.

So we are swinging for the fences and taking the player that has the most star potential of the remaining players - maybe all of the players - in this draft.

And we are happy he's at the position we need and that he wants to play for us.

The Kings select Ricky Rubio.

Rubio is hungry to play for the Kings.

The Washington Wizards are on the clock.
