2011 NBA Mock Draft

On June 23, the 2011 NBA draft will take place in Newark, New Jersey. This is my mock draft of the 2011 NBA draft.
First Round
1. The Cleveland Cavaliers have the first pick in the draft and will likely pick Duke Point Guard, Kyrie Irving. Baron Davis is 32 years old and and way past his prime so getting him in the starting lineup should not be too hard.
2. The Minnesota Timberwolves already have a young Point Guard in Ricky Rubio and will not be looking for another one. They are likely to pick Arizona Small Forward Derrick Williams.
3. The Utah Jazz are in need of a point guard and a center. They have the 3rd pick and the 12th pick. Utah is probably going to pick a center with their 3rd pick. They will pick Kentucky Center, Enes Kanter.
4. The Cleveland Cavaliers have the 4th pick in the draft and will probably pick Benetton Treviso Power Forward, Donatas Motiejunas. Antawn Jamison had a bad season and is aging. He need to be replaced
5. The Toronto Raptors have the 5th pick in the draft and will likely pick Kentucky Point Guard, Brandon Knight.
6. The Washington Wizards have the 6th pick in the draft and will likely pick San Diego State Small Forward, Kawhi Leonard. The Washington Wizards have John Wall, Jordan Crawford, and Nick Young so they do not need a Guard they need a Small Forward.
7. The Sacramento Kings have the 7th pick in the draft. They need a Point Guard because Tyreke Evans is a Shooting Guard not a Point Guard. They will likely pick Colorado Point Guard, Alec Burks.
8. The Detroit Pistons have the 8th pick in the draft and will likely pick UConn Point Guard, Kemba Walker.
9. The Charlotte Bobcats have the 9th pick in the draft and will likely pick Lietuvos Rytas Center, Jonas Valanciunas. Kwame Walker is the starting Center for the Bobcats and he is a horrible player. They need a Center to replace him.
10. The Milwaukee Bucks have the 10th pick in the draft and will likely pick Partizan Belgrade Forward, Jan Vesely.
11. The Golden State Warriors have the 11th pick in the draft and will likely pick Kansas Forward, Marcus Morris. Golden State has Guards Stephen Curry, and Monta Ellis. They need a forward.
12. The Utah Jazz have the 12th pick in the draft and need a Point Guard to replace Deron Williams. They will likely pick BYU Point Guard Jimmer Fredette.
13. The Phoenix Suns have the 13th pick in the draft and will likely pick Kansas Power Forward Markieef Morris. The Suns need a Point Guard to replace veteran Steve Nash and a Power Forward. The Suns will probably not be able to get a good Point Guard but should be able to get a Power Forward.
14. The Houston Rockets have the 14th pick in the draft and will likely pick Tennessee Forward, Tobias Harris.
15. The Indiana Pacers have the 15th pick in the draft and will likely pick Texas Power Forward Tristan Thompson.
16. The Philadelphia 76ers have the 16th pick in the draft and will likely pick Fuenlabrada Center, Bismack Biyombo. They need a center and will probably pick Biyombo.
17. The New York Knicks have the 17th pick in the draft and will likely pick UCLA Guard/Forward, Tyler Honeycutt. New York needs trade chips and a bench.
18. The Washington Wizards have the 18th pick in the draft and will likely pick Florida State Forward, Chris Singleton.
19. The Charlotte Bobcats have the 19th pick in the draft and will likely pick Washington State Guard, Klay Thompson.
