WRG 2010 Mock Draft - #6 Golden State Warriors

     
Nellieball!

What is it?  What does it mean?  Does it exist just to torture fantasy owners?  How much longer will it last?

All good questions, and all reasons why it's almost impossible to draft for this team.

Needs?  Throw them out the window.  Nellie doesn't care about positions.  He'll play five guys who can't shoot.  He'll play lineups with no ballhandler who can dribble five feet.  He'll play five D leaguers who have been on the roster for a week over $180M worth of contracts and lottery picks.

You can't talk to him.  There's no reasoning with him.  It either works or it doesn't.  This pick won't change that.

So with the sixth pick in the 2010 draft, the Golden State Warriors select the available player we think has the most potential to be a superstar - Al-Farouq Aminu.  We hope he survives through Nellieball and beyond.

WRG 2010 Mock Draft - #5 Sacramento Kings

Tyreke Evans looks like the real deal. Now we need to alleviate the pressure off of him. We have two lottery picks already in the frontcourt (Hawes, Thompson). They're serviceable enough...for now.

We're down to 2 players on our board. Wesley Johnson & Al-Farouq Aminu. We like the fact that Wesley Johnson can come in and play right away and is a good outside shooter, which Al-Farouq struggles with. We could really use someone that could stretch the defense, and this is why Wesley is the pick for us.

He doesn't need the ball in his hands to be effective, is a good defender, shooter, and rebounder. He's a perfect complement to the ball-dominating Tyreke that we love.

#4, and I'm the #4 pick! What?! #4 is retired in Sactown? NOOOOO!
