Can Danny: Mock 2.0, 21 - 25
21. Oklahoma City: Solomon Alabi- The Thunder need a big man who can score in the post but there really aren't any that are available right here so they decide to take the next best thing in Alabi.
22. Portland Trailblazers: Eric Bledsoe - Big man was an issue this year because of injuries but the Blazers have Marcus Camby, LaMarcus Aldridge, Greg Oden so I don't think a project big man is going to make too much of a difference. The Blazers might move this pick to move up or deal for a big man but, for now, I'll have them grabbing Bledsoe, who could be a nice complement to Brandon Roy.
23. Minnesota Timberwolves: Gordon Hayward - The Wolves keep this pick (after sending the 16 to Golden State in the Jefferson deal and take a flyer on Gordon Hayward. It's a long way to fall for Hayward but I just didn't love him as a prospect.
24. Atlanta Hawks: Willie Warren - Warren is this year's poster child for why you should leave early. He was a lotto pick last year and might not be a first rounder this season. He's on the small side at the 2 but should be able to fill the spot for the Hawks. When he look great last season, he was doing it by feeding off of Blake Griffin; he could do the same with Al Horford in Atlanta. The big question for the offseason for the Hawks might be Josh Smith. Smith is a talent and still young but it might be time to move him and head into a new direction. The Hawks may have peaked this year with Smith playing well and mostly keeping his wits about him. With Joe Johnson gone and Mike Bibby getting older, the Hawks have some moves to make. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Mike Bibby for Jarrett Jack type deal (although I can't imagine Bibby would be too happy about that.)
25. Detroit Pistons (from Memphis) - Gani Lawal - The Pistons add another big man to the mix by grabbing Lawal after adding Ekpe Udoh earlier in the draft. Now the real work starts for Joe Dumars, who has to clean up the mess he's made.
