2009 NBA Mock Draft 11-20
April 7, 2009 by Administrator
11. Indiana Pacers - PF Greg Monroe, Freshman – Georgetown
Greg Monroe has many positive things going for him. The lefty has a good shot, excellent athlete who can score from anywhere on the court. He needs to work on improving his right hand and also his defense. He needs to add strength to his body which as a freshman is NBA ready.
12. Milwaukee Bucks - PG Brandon Jennings – Italy
Jennings turned down a scholarship to play at Arizona and went to Italy to play ball. He is only averaging 6.6 points per game but has tremendous upside. He is a freakish athlete with great court vision. He needs to continue to work on his scoring as well as his strength to become a good NBA player.
13. Charlotte Bobcats – PG/SG Tyreke Evans, Freshman – Memphis
Already has an NBA body with a 6′11″ wingspan. He has a scorers mentality with a quick first step. Can play the point guard position or the shooting guard depending on personnel. Needs to work on a consistent mid-range jump shot as well as shot selection.
14. Phoenix Suns - SG DeMar DeRozan, Freshman – USC
DeRozan is a freakish athlete who can finish in open space. As a freshman at Southern California he is averaging 13 points and 5 rebounds per game. He needs to improve his jump shot as well as his ball handling skills.
15. Chicago Bulls - C B.J. Mullens, Freshman – Ohio State
Mullens is blessed with great size, strength, and athleticism. At one point scouts thought he could be the #1 overall draft pick but hasn’t really shown it this year. He is a legit 7 footer with a good jump shot. He has dropped off a lot but with his potential he still could be a lottery pick. Some negatives on him is his lack of aggression and at times he takes plays off.
16. Detroit Pistons – PG Ty Lawson, Junior – North Carolina
Lawson made a great decision to come back for his Junior season. He is very quick and pushes the ball up the court very well. Has great court vision but needs to continue to work on his outside shot. He is projected to be a late first round draft pick.
17. Philadelphia 76ers - SF Al-Farouq Aminu, Freshman – Wake Forest
Aminu started his freshman year playing solid and now he has been playing great. He is a great athlete with a 7′4″ wingspan. He needs to continue to improve his ball handling and jump shot as well as improve his strength.
18. Minnesota Timberwolves (From Miami) - PG Eric Maynor, Senior – Virginia Commonwealth
Maynor is coming off a great senior year at VCU. He is a smart point guard who is quick and aggressive. Has improved his shot through the years but needs to continue to work on it. Also needs to add some strength but should be a very good pro point guard.
19. Atlanta Hawks - PF James Johnson, Sophomore – Wake Forest
A very strong power forward with great size. He is averaging 13 points and 8 rebounds per game as a sophomore at Wake Forest. The big question about him is what position he will play in the NBA. His shot selection is suspect as well but should be a nice addition to any team in the late first round.
20. Dallas Mavericks – SG Evan Turner – Ohio State
In his sophomore season at Ohio State, Turner has improved is points, rebounds, assists, and steals per game. He has good size for a two guard and very athletic. He can also play many positions on the court which will make his value go up.
