1996 TMBL Mock Draft

Story Photo

1. Knicks- G Kobe Bryant— The New York Knicks rebuild starts NOW. Easily the best player to be drafted through the 90s, Kobe is a perfect fit for NYC.
2. Pistons- G Steve Nash— 3 guys are being considered here. Nash is the early favorite.
3. Lakers- G Ray Allen— Allen is more efficient than AI and he’s a great scorer.
4. Nets- G Allen Iverson— Instant offense for a team that needs a spark.
5. Bulls- C Ben Wallace— Chicago has the easiest pick in the draft…. Aside from the #1. The Bulls will take whoever is left from the top 5 and they will be happy. Ben and Rasheed had a pretty solid run IRL and they should be fine here as well.
6. Nuggets- G Stephon Marbury— McDyess, Zo & The Big Dog… Marbury running the show? Nice!!
7. Bucks- C Marcus Camby— Great defender and plays a long, long time. Camby and Webber are a nice pair in the paint.
8. Blazers- PF Jermaine O’Neal— O’Neal starts the rebuild right for the aging Blazers.
9. Cavaliers- F Shareef Abdur-Rahim— He’s a great scorer and the Cavs are due for a star.
10. Clippers- F Antoine Walker— Best available pick here. Antoine can fill it up and should help as Buck Williams rides off into the sunset. Buck is the all-time leading scorer in franchise history with over 18,000 points.
11. Knicks (via Mavs)- G Derek Fisher— Fish is an excellent complement to Kobe and I think this one is a no brainer. If Fisher is there at 11, he’s a Knickerbocker.
12. Pistons (via Suns)- C Eric Dampier— Big Dampier and Theo Ratliff can mix it up under the basket but they don’t score a lot. The Pistons need more and it will come.
13. Bullets- G Kerry Kittles— Kittles gives Washington another option on offense and he’s the right pick here.
14. Knicks (via Kings)- C Lorenzen Wright— Wright should be another nice piece for New York.
15. Jazz- G Shandon Anderson— I think Anderson is the guy here but Utah is hoping for Wright. They need help inside.
16. Warriors- F Jerome Williams— Golden St has 4 nice guards but they need some toughness inside. Look no further than J.Y.D.!!!
17. Celtics- F Malik Rose— Rose isn’t going to dominate a game on the scoreboard but he’s a tough guy and could help as an enforcer beside The Admiral.
18. Hornets- G Tony Delk— Delk has a sweet shooting stroke and joins fellow long range bombers Allan Houston and The Monster Mash in Charlotte.
19. 76ers-G Jeff McInnis— McInnis should a good option here for Philly as Harper and Ricky Pierce are on their way out.
20. Magic- C Othello Harrington—The Chief, Mahorn and Perk are a combined 113 years old. It’s time to draft a big man.
21. Spurs-G Moochie Norris— San Antonio needs a guard and Mooch can give them solid minutes in a few seasons.
22. Nets (via Hawks)- F Walter McCarty— McCarty fits here as New Jersey gets the Iverson era underway
23. Mavs (via Sonics)-F Samaki Walker— Walker has a few solid seasons and Dallas is building around Grant Hill.
24. Timberwolves-C Vitaly Potapenko— Minnesota doesn’t need another big but they won’t pass up VP here.
25. Heat- F Jamie Feick— Feick is a little more than just a body. He can rebound and has one really solid season ahead of him.
26. Knicks (via Rockets)- F John Wallace— Wallace has a loooong wait in the green room but his wish is granted and he stays at home in NYC.
27. Nets (via Pacers)- C Roy Rogers— Rogers is long and athletic and can contribute on defense this year.
