College Hoops Video

So, earlier today I updated my final 2009 NBA Mock Draft. Then, I realized that a number of the readers of the site rely on the RSS feed that is limited to the last 10 articles on CHV. As a result, this is a short synopsis of the CHV 2009 NBA Mock Draft with a link to the full two round 2009 NBA Mock Draft!

We’ve seen who’s going and staying in the draft now. The biggest surprise is the lack of “awe” for Ricky Rubio’s only workout conducted before the draft with the Sacramento Kings.  I dropped him all the way down to nr 5 since the Kings don’t seem to thrilled with him, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we see him go even lower! Jodie Meeks chose to remain in the draft along with Memphis’s Shawn Taggart and we have seen a fair bit of movement of players based onhow their pre-draft workouts have gone. Tyler Hansbrough and B.J. Mullens have helped their cases since the 2008-09 NCAA regular season wrapped up and Terrence Williams may have worked his way into a 2009 NBA lottery pick! Particularly interesting is that Minnesota has traded to get the nr 5 and 6 picks with many thinking they’ll take the best Point Guard on the board with the pick and a good shooting or slashing guard with the second. Don’t be surprised to see them take DeRozan and Evans here vice mucking with Rubio if he’s still around.

Jodi Meeks Drives Against Louisville

Last Updated: 24 June 2009.

Ok, so I didn’t quite get to updating my 2009 NBA Mock Draft  until the day before draft day as I’m typing. We’ve seen who’s going and staying in the draft now. The biggest surprise is the lack of “awe” for Ricky Rubio’s only workout conducted before the draft with the Sacramento Kings.  I dropped him all the way down to nr 5 since the Kings don’t seem to thrilled with him, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we see him go even lower! Jodie Meeks chose to remain in the draft along with Memphis’s Shawn Taggart and we have seen a fair bit of movement of players based on how their pre-draft workouts have gone. Tyler Hansbrough and B.J. Mullens have helped their cases since the 2008-09 NCAA regular season wrapped up and Terrence Williams may have worked his way into a 2009 NBA lottery pick! Particularly interesting is that Minnesota has traded to get the nr 5 and 6 picks with many thinking they’ll take the best Point Guard on the board with the first pick and a good shooting or slashing guard with the second.

Blake Griffin, Likely Nr 1 Pick in the 2009 NBA Draft

With the 2009 NBA Draft Lottery order set, its time to project the first round of the NBA Mock Draft. The selections are based on projected team need and will likely change a bit between now and draft day on 25 June 2009 depending on trades and player performances at team work-outs. We’re very likely to see a fair bit of movement in the first round picks once you get past Hasheem Thabeet in the NBA Draft lottery with the first two lottery picks, Blake Griffin and Ricky Rubio being pretty set. Feel free to comment and feedback on any 2009 NBA Mock Draft choices that you think are too high or too low!
