TPSG 2016 NBA Mock Draft 1.0

The NBA Draft Lottery has come and gone and the NBA Draft is sneaking up on us, so I thought that it would be a good time to post a mock draft.   Here goes:

1. Philadelphia 76ers - Ben Simmons - SF - LSU
2. Los Angeles Lakers - Brandon Ingram - SF - Duke 
3. Boston Celtics - Dragan Bender - PF - Croatia 
4. Phoenix Suns - Jaylen Brown - SF - California 
5. Minnesota Timberwolves - Jamal Murray - OG - Kentucky
6. New Orleans Pelicans - Kris Dunn - PG - Providence
7. Denver Nuggets - Buddy Hield - OG - Oklahoma 
8. Sacramento Kings - Henry Ellenson - PF - Marquette 
9. Toronto Raptors - Marquese Chriss - PF - Washington
10. Milwaukee Bucks - Jakob Poeltl - C - Utah
11. Orlando Magic - Skal Labissiere - C - Kentucky
12. Utah Jazz - Timothe Luwawu - SF - France
13. Phoenix Suns - Deyonta Davis - PF - Michigan State 
14. Chicago Bulls - Domontas Sabonis - PF - Gonzaga 
15. Denver Nuggets - Taurean Prince - SF - Baylor
16. Boston Celtics - Denzel Valentine - OG - Michigan State
17. Memphis Grizzlies - Wade Baldwin - PG - Vanderbilt 
18. Detroit Pistons - Tyler Ulis - PG - Kentucky 
19. Denver Nuggets - Furkan Korkmaz - OG - Turkey
20. Indiana Pacers - Brice Johnson - PF - North Carolina 
21. Atlanta Hawks - Damien Jones - C - Vanderbilt 
22. Charlotte Hornets - Malik Beasley - OG - Florida State 
23. Boston Celtics - Ante Zizic - C - Croatia 
24. Philadelphia 76ers - Malachi Richardson - OG - Syracuse
25. Los Angeles Clippers - Dejounte Murray - OG - Washington 
26. Philadelphia 76ers - Zhou Qi - C - China 
27. Toronto Raptors - Juan Hermangomez - PF - Spain 
28. Phoenix Suns - Thon Maker - PF - Australia 
29. San Antonio Spurs - Cheick Diallo - PF - Kansas 
30. Golden State Warriors - Stephen Zimmerman - C - UNLV 

Simmons & Ingram are without a doubt going 1-2, it's just a matter of who goes where. 

I'm guessing the Suns are hoping that Dragan Bender falls to number 4, if he doesn't, I'm guessing they go with the best frontcourt player still on the board (in this case that would be Jaylen Brown).  Kris Dunn is a possibility too if they want to go BPA, same with Henry Ellenson.  I would think the Suns would be happy though to come out of the draft with Jaylen Brown, Deyonta Davis and Thon Maker. 

I wouldn't be surprised if the Timberwolves try to use the 5th pick as part of a package to trade for a veteran player to help their young core.  If they hold onto the pick, I think they look at shooters and power forwards, to me that means either Jamal Murray, Buddy Hield or Henry Ellenson.  I could see them reaching for Marquese Chriss too, and don't rule out a defensive minded point guard like Kris Dunn either.  In other words, I have no idea.
