Poll: 2016 Community Mock Draft (Pick No. 24)

By | at June 17, 2016 11:30 am

The results of the 2016 NBA Draft lottery are in and the Sixers finally landed the elusive No. 1 overall pick after missing out the past two seasons. Now that the exact draft order is locked in, teams can begin targeting specific players who are likely to still be on the board when it is their time to choose. Drafting players is far from an exact science, and many a GM has been second-guessed for his draft night decisions. I’m willing to bet that every team executive has at least one pick that he would like a mulligan for. We at Hoops Rumors thought it would be fun to give our readers the chance to predict the results of this June’s draft, which is what we are doing with a series of polls.

We are now well on our way to completing the first round and have once again come to the Sixers. Readers, you are now on the clock! Working under the assumption that the team will keep the pick, cast your vote for Philadelphia’s selection and check back Saturday for the results, as well as to cast your vote for who the Clippers will select with the No. 25 overall pick. But don’t limit yourself to a simple button click. Take to the comments section below and share your thoughts on the No. 24 overall pick and why you voted the way that you did.

Poll: 2016 Community Mock Draft (Pick No. 16)

By | at June 7, 2016 5:21 pm

The results of the 2016 NBA Draft lottery are in and the Sixers finally landed the elusive No. 1 overall pick after missing out the past two seasons. Now that the exact draft order is locked in, teams can begin targeting specific players who are likely to still be on the board when it is their time to choose. Drafting players is far from an exact science, and many a GM has been second-guessed for his draft night decisions. I’m willing to bet that every team executive has at least one pick that he would like a mulligan for. We at Hoops Rumors thought it would be fun to give our readers the chance to predict the results of this June’s draft, which is what we are doing with a series of polls.

We’re past the midpoint of the draft and have once again come to the Celtics, who already nabbed forward Dragan Bender at pick No. 3. Readers, you are now on the clock! Cast your vote for Boston’s pick and check back Wednesday for the results, as well as to cast your vote for who the Grizzlies will select with the No. 17 overall pick. But don’t limit yourself to a simple button click. Take to the comments section below and share your thoughts on the No. 16 overall pick and why you voted the way that you did.
