Today, we’ll wrap up the last 2 rounds of the mock draft, I’ll discuss each team individually, and then tomorrow our participants will get a chance to say their piece.

Joel (1 Overall)
Kobe Bryant
Allen Iverson
Carlos Boozer
Lamar Odom
Mike Miller
Stephen Jackson
Zach Randolph
Anthony Parker

Joel took full advantage of being a bookend, spending 1 of his pair of picks each time on a need, and another on the best player available. I’m not thrilled with the Stephen Jackson pick, but other than that I think you can easily defend every pick he took.

DM (2 Overall)
Kevin Garnett
Carmelo Anthony
Chauncey Billups
Ron Artest
Ricky Davis
Corey Maggette
Stephon Marbury
Nenad Krstic

You know, a lot of people could sleep on Marbury this year just because he burned them so bad in the past, but in the 7th round that’s a nice pick. A lot of people in our draft were kigh on Krtic, as well, but I don’t see it. DM pairing of Anthony with KG was sweet because Anthony’s strenth, points, is the only thing KG doesn’t do all that well. But after Billups, he sure did take a lot of SF’s, and I don’t know if that was the greatest move.

Terrance (3 Overall)
LeBron James
Paul Pierce
Tracy McGrady
Mehmet Okur
Tyson Chandler
Ben Wallace
Jameer Nelson
Raja Bell

Terrance went all SF early, but I think he recovered nicely. Even though Nelson has no business being a PG1, James is essentially a PG with the steals and assists he gets. And while yes, he took 3 C’s in a row, I’m not sure I like any of them this year and he may have really jumped the gun on Wallace.

Raymond (4 Overall)
Shawn Marion
Marcus Camby
Ray Allen
Josh Howard
Manu Ginobili
Monta Ellis
Al Harrington
Tyrus Thomas

Raymond may have started off strong - after three he may have had the best team in the league, as he got steals in the first and third - but I don’t love any of the picks. Howard and Ginobili are fine, if unexciting, but Ellis, Harrington and Thomas all went early, I think.

BV (5 Overall)
Dirk Nowitzki
Jason Kidd
Kirk Hinrich
Jason Richardson
Luol Deng
Ben Gordon
Andrew Bogut
Tayshaun Prince

Let’s go Bulls! So maybe I coulda waited a round on Hinrich - really, in a Mock Draft, I shoulda let him go to get a better idea of where he will fall. I’m worried about my C situation, that’s for sure.

Sean (6 Overall)
Gilbert Arenas
Rashard Lewis
Gerald Wallace
Emeka Okafor
Tony Parker
Rip Hamilton
Danny Granger
Chris Kaman

Sean’s got a solid team. He took his one big risk in the third and surrounded Crash with guys that you know will be solid. If Wallace comes through, Sean will be a big contender - but if not, that’s OK, a few gems late and he’ll be just fine.

PR (7 Overall)
Dwayne Wade
Dwight Howard
Deron Williams
Brandon Roy
Raymond Felton
Andris Biedrins
Randy Foye
Nene

PR got a major steal in Foye, I’ll say that much. I really don’t like either of his first 2 picks (Wade’s injury really worries me and Howard, I just don’t think he’ll have 2nd round value), but you can’t argue with what he did from 3 on.

Jeremy (8 Overall)
Steve Nash
Josh Smith
Jermaine O’Neal
Kevin Durant
Mo Williams
LaMarcus Aldridge
Richard Jefferson
Boris Diaw

Jeremy was all-risk all-the-time rounds 2 through 4, then backed that up with another big risk in the eighth. But he did get the FBB seal of approval with both the Nash and Aldridge selection. And if those risks come through, this team will be very competitive.

All (9 Overall)
Amare Stoudemire
Vince Carter
Baron Davis
Antawn Jamison
Andre Miller
Samuel Dalembert
Shane Battier
Jarrett Jack

This team has had consensus picks, so obviously it has some risks nobody wanted to take (Davis) and some solid guys that nobody was really pining for (Jamison, Dalembert), but nothing too exciting here.

Alex (10 Overall)
Yao Ming
Tim Duncan
Joe Johnson
Kevin Martin
T. J. Ford
Andrei Kirilenko
Rudy Gay
Mike Conley

Alex has one of my favorite teams in the draft. Every single pick is solid one through five, he took nice risks in 6 and 8, and has a nice balance of bigs and smalls. Going big-big early looked to be a pretty effective strategy.

Frank (11 Overall)
Pau Gasol
Andre Iguodala
Al Jefferson
Leandro Barbosa
Jason Terry
Mike Bibby
David Lee
Zydrunas Ilgauskas

Frank had a great PG run there in the middle of the draft, as Barbosa, Terry and Bibby could all be Top-15 PG’s. Ilgauskas was a solid pick as late as he got him, and while Gasol raised some eyebrows in the first round, but in retrospect that looks pretty nice.

Ruyun (12 overall)
Chris Paul
Chris Bosh
Caron Butler
Michael Redd
Rasheed Wallace
David West
Andrei Bargnani
Ranjo Rondo

Finally, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and Ruyun took eveyone else’s trash and made it his treasure. The first 4 rounds were all sweet picks, and while I don’t love West or Rondo, he’s solid everywhere else and Bargnani was a nice upside pick.

Tomorrow: Our participants chime in with their thoughts.
