Mock Draft Continued

So I decided to do this mock draft for every lottery team in the NBA. I will give you teams 6-10 today. As said before, they are in order of the best chances to win. I will not try to predict who will win. So here are picks 6-10.

Pick #6 Memphis Grizzlies - Greg Monroe
The Grizzlies already have a very, very good nucleus of players. Four of their starting five have potential to be stars in the NBA. The problem is they are young. Once this team gets the experience necessary, watch out. Conley, Mayo, Gay, and Gasol are all very young. With the right piece, in this case Greg Monroe, they could have a starting five that could stick around for a long time, just like Memphis will with the right experience. Monroe hasn't decided whether he will stay or go, but if he does, he will fit right into the Grizzlies plans. They are like a college all-star team right now. Let them grow together and good things should happen.

Pick #7 Golden State Warriors - Jordan Hill
Jordan Hill will bring 18.5 points per game and 11 rebounds per game to a Golden State team that DESPERATELY needs help inside. They have no rebounding threat whatsoever and they need someone that can score in the paint. Jordan Hill will give that to them. Golden State is on paper one of the worst looking teams in the NBA. If they are going to fix this, they have to address their needs, and that should be done soon.

Pick #8 New York Knicks - James Johnson
The question is, can the Knicks really make a run for LeBron in 2010? If they think they can and they fall short, the Knicks could be pathetic for years to come. The way a team should go about basketball, is to play to win the game NOW. James Johnson will be able to play either forward spot and could have as much upside as anyone else in the draft. Really...anyone. The Knicks will be able to build a contender without LeBron James, it just depends how hard they go after him, because the harder thry push, the harder they can fall. The Knicks should start to build their team up from the draft, and if they miss out on LeBron, go for one of the other million great players in free agency that year. Johnson makes the most sense for the Knicks if they pick at number eight.

Pick #9 Toronto Raptors - DeMar DeRozan
DeRozan could come in and start at shooting guard for an already good team. At this point in the season it's a little shocking to see Toronto this bad. They definitly are a good team with plenty of talent. The Raptors next year no matter what, I believe will have a good year and make the playoffs. DeRozan has the ability to possibly play three different positions on the floor. He could play the 2, 3, or 4 position and because of that he has the potential to be something special in the NBA.

Pick #10 Milwaukee Bucks - Stephen Curry
The Bucks need some help, just like most teams in the lottery. However, when this team is healthy, they could hold their own. Getting Curry here will give them a second scorer besides Michael Redd. The inside game is good, again, when they are healthy. Curry will help them right away as he has an instinct for scoring. The Bucks really struggled this year when Redd went down with an injury, it might have been a different story had they had someone else who could take a game over.
