Grading Sixer Sense Mock 2016 NBA Draft Board
By Bret Stuter
My Prediction: Domantas Sabonis Actual 2016 NBA Draft: Furkan Korkmaz
I saw a tumble for Gonzaga’s power forward Domantas Sabonis in the first round that never materialized. As a result, I failed once more to maximize my predictions. Sabonis came off the board at 11, while I had hime projected to fall to the Philadelphia 76ers at 26.
What did happen is the Philadelphia 76ers found shooting guard Furkan Korkmaz, a young man I had painfully projected to fall to 22. Painfully, because I was challenged in expecting Korkmaz to fall to 22 by many readers. Korkmaz is another player who has tremendous value at their position, but even moreso their skillsets fall directly on the bullseye of what the team needs moving forward. So much so, in fact, that I expect the team will keep both Luwawe and Korkmaz on the roster for this season.
I do get a point for my Sabonis prediction. I am up to 47 points.
