WRG 2012 Mock Draft - #9 Detroit Pistons

Every once in a while, a prospect is a perfect fit for a team, and everyone realizes it.

Look through the mock drafts on all the major draft sites. They all pair this pick with John Henson. Who are we to disagree?

Greg Monroe is going to be our center for years to come. He's a skilled center who has legitimate size and skill. The only knock on him is that he doesn't protect the rim well and isn't an uber athletic freak. That's ok, though. He does so many things well, that we can live with his shortcomings in those areas.

So we obviously want to pair him with an athletic freak who can swat shots into the front row next to him. Sound like John Henson?

Henson is a spider of a specimen. He has a ridiculous reach, a gargantuan wingspan, and is a perfect complement for The Moose. Rarely do you see such a perfect fit realized, but we are just tickled pink.

With the 9th pick, the Pistons select John Henson.

Did we just pick an assistant coach?

WRG 2010 Mock Draft - #25 Memphis Grizzlies

Our second of three first round picks. We are disappointed that the Hawks snagged Eric Bledsoe in front of us. We might as well tell you right now that we aren't thrilled with Mike Conley.

There aren't many point guards in this draft, and we feel like we can still grab one of the next tier combo guards with our next pick, so we are gonna go with who we feel is the best player still available and a guy with a lot of potential in Larry Sanders.

Sanders gives us a big man who can run the floor, which is something we don't have. Thabeet, Gasol & Randolph are all plodding big men, and we think Sanders can develop into a terrific player and not just an athlete. Sanders and Thabeet in the same lineup? Try not to get swatted.

We didn't just draft Larry...we drafted his whole posse.

WRG 2010 Mock Draft - #15 Milwaukee Bucks

We hit a home run last year with Brandon Jennings. Go us!

Now we're getting greedy. We want another home run. We would have liked to draft a wing as insurance in case J Salmons leaves, and who knows if Michael Redd will give us anything, but the ones that we were targeting got snatched up ahead of us. We can definitely use some frontcourt depth, and there are some intriguing upside options out there for us to consider. We have our eye on a certain young big man who we can ease into the NBA by limiting his minutes to start his young career and let him develop behind Andrew Bogut. We're going for the home run. We want Hassan Whiteside.

We like that Hassan is athletic and can run with Brandon Jennings when he comes in the game. We like his immense defensive potential. We plan for Hassan to be a home run pick.

I bet those long arms could do a number on a cow's teat.
