A Royal Mock Draft: Mock 1.0
By Kyle Robert
In Mock Draft 1.0, some teams find their potential franchise center pieces while others look for complementary parts to a ready built contender and others just look to improve. The Sacramento Kings have interesting options when they come on the board at pick 6. Many of the players that have been given to them in other mock drafts, are already off of the board.
1. Minnesota Timberwolves
player. 86. Karl-Anthony Towns is an extremely versatile player that is probably the best player in this draft. He has three point range, which he wasn’t able to display at Kentucky. He will be a monster at the next level. Wiggins and Towns is a scary combination going forward.. Power Forward. Kentucky. Karl-Anthony Towns. 1
2. Los Angeles Lakers
20. Most assume this pick will be Jahlil Okafor, but I think the Lakers will be attracted to a point guard that has some <strong><a href=. Shooting Guard. Ohio State. D'Angelo Russell. 2. player
3. Philadelphia 76ers
Emmanuel Mudiay. 3. player. 93. The 76ers will continue to focus on the future at 3. Mudiay has tremendous upside but will need time. He can be the point guard that stirs the 76ers drink.. Point Guard. China
4. New York Knicks
The New York Knicks get a guy they covet at number 4. Okafor can impact on the offensive end right away and form a solid offensive duo with <strong><a href=. Center. Duke. Jahlil Okafor. 4. player. 27
5. Orlando Magic
38. Many Kings are hoping the Kings would get a chance to land Cauley-Stein, but Orlando grabs him here. He can form a strong front court duo with <strong><a href=. Center. Kentucky. Willie Cauley-Stein. 5. player
