This is what makes doing these mock drafts so tough. Augustin has impressed every team that he’s worked out for, and I think he might go higher, but what can I do? I think he will be a pretty good NBA point guard. Augustin is a little undersized, but so is Chris Paul.
13. Portland Trailblazers – Anthony Randolph, Forward, LSU
The Blazers really want Alexander, Westbrook or Augustin, and with Kevin Pritchard running the show for Portland, I highly doubt the Blazers will be picking at 13.
If they can’t move up to get one of those guys, they’ll move back or perhaps out of the draft. As far as Randolph, he’s a project that could turn into a Chris Bosh-type player.
14. Golden State Warriors – Donte’ Green, Forward, Syracuse
Green has bounced up and down the draft charts, but he’s a good athlete that could probably find a spot in the Don Nelson system. He’s long and athletic and with hard work could turn into a decent NBA player.
15. Phoenix Suns – Brandon Rush, Guard, Kansas
Rush will fit perfectly in the Suns new defensive scheme. He can guard three positions and would have probably been a lottery pick had he been able to stay in the draft last year.
16. Philadelphia 76ers – Darrel Arthur, Forward, Kansas
Some recent health issues have caused Arthur to drop, but I think he would be a good fit for the 76ers.
17. Indiana Pacers – Mario Chalmers, Guard, Kansas
With the injury-prone T.J. Ford as the Pacers new point guard, a quality young back-up is needed. That’s where the national championship game hero Chalmers comes into play.
18. WashingtonWizards – DeAndre Jordan, Center, Texas A&M
