My Prediction:  Caris Levert    Actual 2016 NBA Draft: Damian Jones

And at the 30th pick of the 2016 NBA draft, the Golden State Warriors threw a curve and elected Vanderbilt big man, Damian Jones.  Jones is a rim protector, a big young man whose specialty is rejecting shots, and area which the Warriors are looking to bolster after Andrew Bogut‘s injury in the championship series.

Since this is the Warriors, I could only see their focus on adding more to the army of guards on the team, projecting Levert to the team.  LeVert came off the board 10 picks earlier.

Still, I get a point for my prediction.   That lands me at 51 points.

How’d I do?

Well, compared to last year’s draft, I would have landed eighth with 3 correct picks.  While that sounds relatively easy to do, keep in mind that this mock occurred before NCAA prospects declared and could opt out of the NBA draft.

So, overall, I am quite pleased with my first public effort.   It ended up being a good night for the Philadelphia 76ers.  That means it was a good night for me as well.
