TPSG 2016 NBA Mock Draft 2.0

The NBA Draft is now less than two weeks away, so I thought that it would be a good time to update my mock draft.   No major changes from Mock 1.0.  Here goes:

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

It sounds like the 76ers are leaning towards Ben Simmons at number one overall.  Personally, I feel that Brandon Ingram would be a better fit for them though.  The 76ers will be interesting to watch, they have 3 first round picks and plenty of trade options. 

I think the Suns are still hoping that Dragan Bender falls to them at number four.  If he doesn't, I suspect that they will choose between Kris Dunn and Jaylen Brown.  I don't see them selecting a s shooting guard here unless they can deal Eric Bledsoe or Brandon Knight, if they can't I'd probably go with Jaylen Brown over Kris Dunn.  Marquese Chris is getting a lot of late steam too.  At 13, I assume it will be someone who compliments their number 4 pick.  At 28, I'm guessing they pick a foreigner they can stash overseas for a season or two.  If they can come out of the draft with Jaylen Brown, Deyonta Davis & Juan Hermangomez you'd have to think they'd be happy. 

At number five overall, I suspect that the Timberwolves will be deciding between Dragan Bender, Kris Dunn, Jamal Murray and Buddy Hield, I'm betting they rank them in that order too.  Personally, as an outsider watching the Wolves the last couple of seasons, it seems like their biggest weakness has been three point shooting and Murray and Hield would be great picks to help address that problem.  Tom Thibideau loves his defense though and for that reason I suspect they go with Kris Dunn.  I would love to see a Karl-Anthony Towns/Dragan Bender front court though.
