NDF 2011 Mock Draft Contest

[Kid Chocolate]

It's that time again!

With the draft at Thursday, June 23rd 7 PM EST, it's time to have a fun little mock draft contest for anyone who wishes to enter.

Showcase your mock drafts and how well you can predict who gets picked where.

Here are the rules.

Predict the first round of the NBA Draft.

Entries are to PM'ed to Kid Chocolate by 7 PM EST Thursday, June 23rd. I'm having the mocks PM'ed to me so other people won't be able to see who has predicted what, and can't copy.

Scoring:

You are predicting what player gets picked in what spot, not which team picks him.
You get 1 point for every spot off you are with your picks.
Example: You predict the draft will go
1) Irving
2) Kanter
3) Williams
4) Knight
5) Valanciunas

and the actual order is
1) Irving
2) Knight
3) Kanter
4) Valanciunas
5) Williams
The scoring would be
1) 0
2) 1 (1 spot off)
3) 2 (2 spots off)
4) 2 (2 spot off)
5) 1 (1 spots off)

and so on. The maximum points you can get for a pick will be capped at 20 points.
If you have a player at #25 in your mock draft, and he gets picked 50th, you will get 20 points.

At 7 PM EST on Thursday (June 23), I'll post a link to a spreadsheet with all entries, so everyone can track their progress.

Lowest score wins. Any questions, feel free to ask!

I'm taking it this year baby!

[Kid Chocolate]

A little enthusiasm is what I like to see!

I'm sure MNFL will be around to avenge his disastrous last place finish.

[pegs]

I will do terrible this year, but I'll still try.

Rick Jackson is going in the lottery, you can quote me on that.

I quoted you. Now what's a Rick Jackson?

The draft is Thursday, June 23!

[ghoti]

WTH? Did you just fix that while I was posting?

Edit: I see. It's right the first time but not the second two. For a second I thought I needed to change my work schedule!

[CalamityX04]

Trying to predict this draft is insane.... so weak and so many areas teams could go with....

But I will endure!

[Kid Chocolate]

haha, my bad ghoti, you could have fixed it.

[Kid Chocolate]

Gotten a few entries so far, remember to send them in!

[Eduardo's Empanada]

Yeah, I got to jump on this. Haven't updated my mock in awhile.

[Kid Chocolate]

This draft seems very volatile. No idea what's going to happen, even in the top 3.

[Eduardo's Empanada]

Sending my entry now KC. I might make one last update, but I think I'm keeping it as is at this point.

[Kid Chocolate]

Cool, right now your entry is #11.

[CalamityX04]

I'm going to be honest, if i get more than 3 right in this draft, that's a win for me! LOL...

Same here. I still have no idea who Klay Thompson is.
