Admit it, you’re craving a mock draft

With the Eastern Conference Finals essentially over, I figure now is a good time to start looking ahead to the draft.

ESPN's Chad Ford has the Celtics picking Kansas swingman Xavier Henry at 19.

Analysis: If Henry falls this far, it will be a pretty dramatic
development since he was once considered a lottery pick. Henry does
bring a few things to the table, however. He already has an NBA body and
he can shoot the NBA 3.

He may be a little
one-dimensional, but with Paul Pierce beginning to age and Ray Allen
hitting free agency, he'd be a nice fit in Boston.

Positives:

  • NBA body
  • Excellent shooter
  • Deep range on the three ball
  • Strong finisher at the basket
  • Great size for position

    Negatives:

  • Not an explosive athlete
  • Doesn't create a lot of offense through the dribble
  • Relies too much on his jumper
  • Doesn't exploit his strength
  • That concludes our NBA draft coverage. You may resume mocking the Orlando Magic, Dwight Howard, Vince Carter and their fans.
