Built Ford Tough Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) Anybody up for this again? It was pretty successful last season, so I thought I would bring it back this year and since there is 10 days before the draft and the NBA season came to a close last night with the Mavs winning the Finals, I figured now would be a good time to make this thread. For those of you that don't know what this is, or don't remember, here is how it works: Rules: 1. Each poster will create a mock draft of the first round only which they will private message to me. Each poster will have until the start of the draft to PM me their mocks. You can edit your mock and send a new one to me whenever, but once the draft begins all submissions are final. 2. Point system: For every correct pick you receive 3 points. For every player 1 pick off you receive 2 points. For every player 2 picks off you receive 1 point. If your mock has a player more than 2 slots away from his draft position you get 0 points for that player. (example below) 3. Each poster will need to private message me their mock instead of posting it in the thread to keep from others looking at your picks. I will post all of the mocks in a new thread just prior to the start of the draft and will total them after the draft finishes. 4. 5 bonus points will be rewarded if you are able to get the entire lottery correct. 5. In the event of a tie, the winner will be whoever gets the most picks exactly correct. Example of scoring system: Real draft 1. John Wall2. Evan Turner3. Derrick Favors4. Wesley Johnson5. DeMarcus Cousins6. Ekpe Udoh7. Greg Monroe8. Al-Farouq Aminu9. Gordon Hayword10. Paul George Your mock draft 1. Washington - John Wall - 3 points2. Philadelphia - Evan Turner - 3 points3. New Jersey - Derrick Favors - 3 points4. Minnesota - Wesley Johnson - 3 points5. Sacramento - DeMarcus Cousins - 3 points6. Golden State - Ekpe Udoh - 3 points7. Detroit - Greg Monroe - 3 points8. LA Clippers - Al-Farouq Aminu - 3 points9. Utah - Ed Davis - 0 points10. Indiana - Gordon Hayward - 2 points Final Score: 26 points If you have any ideas that you feel would make this better, feel free to mention them to me and I'll take them into consideration.

AboveLegit Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I normally make a mock draft around this time, so I'm in. Sadly, it's never accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted June 13, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 3. Each poster will need to private message me their mock instead of posting it in the thread to keep from others looking at your picks.Well, I'd like to encourage everyone to post their mock drafts on the site, and I'm assuming their mock draft topics will be similar to the submissions you'll receive. But, honestly, do you ever look at a member's mock draft and take something from it? I think we all do, and that's the thing. We will all go to DraftExpress, or NBADraft.net, at some point, and see what's posted. We'll check out Chad Ford's stuff. We'll read everyone else's. Also, do you want 30 picks? I figure it's just for the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) Last year people wanted to PM their mocks to me so that is why I had that there. If you guys don't care, or want to post them prior to the start of the draft, then I'll make a thread right now and you can post them there whenever you are ready. I don't really care either way. And yeah, only 30 picks. The 2nd round is way too much of a crap shoot (as well as the last 5-10 picks in most first rounds) and I really don't want to go and tally up 60 picks from around 15-20 members, haha.

trutrojan8 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I don't see the point for the 5 bonus points for a correct lottery draft... if they get all 13 right, they're gonna win anyways haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I don't see the point for the 5 bonus points for a correct lottery draft... if they get all 13 right, they're gonna win anyways haha Not necessarily since the later portion of the first round is usually where the seperation is created from the top and bottom since the lottery is usually easier to predict, at least in terms of who will be in the lottery (although the order can be tricky). Also, are you in? Not sure since you never really showed any indication if you wanted in or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teletopez Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I'm down. Are we posting these in the mock drafts forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted June 20, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I'm down. Are we posting these in the mock drafts forum?Once I finish mine, I will. Doesn't really matter. But, I'm sure Sean wants us all to PM him with our selections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 About to start writing up my mock soon, hopefully I can post it by tomorrow or Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 How about we do this. If you want to post your mock draft with descriptions and all of that in the Mock Draft forum go right ahead. It will hopefully generate discussion and help the forum out. Just do me a favor and just pm the mock draft that you wish to enter into the contest so that I know for sure that I am using the correct won. That sound good?

AboveLegit Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Yeah that sounds good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Sounds good. I'll be starting on my mock tomorrow and hopefully be done with it by Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Just an FYI, but there is about an hour and a half to get me the mock that you wish to enter into the contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I would edit my mock with all these rumors, but [expletive] it, I'm sending it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I would edit my mock with all these rumors, but [expletive] it, I'm sending it now. Same. My gut is telling that there will be another deal but eh whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I would edit my mock with all these rumors, but [expletive] it, I'm sending it now. Yeah, tell me about it. I completely forgot to even put together a mock until about an hour ago. I started it just after positng in this thread. I'll make the thread with all of the mocks now, so if anybody has a late entry, make sure to get it to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
