IRADI Mock Draft v1.0
1. PHILADELPHIA 76ers
John Starks (SG) 25 / 6-3 / 180 / Oklahoma State
The 76ers need a winner in their roster to change their loser seasons.
2. DALLAS MAVERICKS
Dale Davis( PF) 21 / 6-11 / 230 / Clemson
Davis can be the best complement of JBC, superb rebounder
3. KANSAS CITY CONDORS
Dennis Scott (SF) 22 / 6-8 / 229 / Georgia Tech
A shooter, he can be a terrific-shooter-trio with Price & Chapman.
4. NEW YORK KNICKS (from Detroit)
Steve Smith (SG) 21 / 6-7 / 200 / Michigan State
A shooter-man for the Jestorball. I know this player is neccesary for New York and move Kukoc to SF
5. NEW YORK KNICKS
Brian Williams (C) 21 / 6-9 / 235 / Arizona
He can play as PF or C. Good complement for frontcourt, he can score
6. NEW JERSEY NETS
Luc Longley (C) 22 / 7-2 / 265 / New Mexico
Will be Shawn Kemp a competent C? I don't think. The Aussie offers rebounds and defense.
7. SAN ANTONIO SPURS
Nick Anderson (SG) 23 / 6-6 / 205 / Illinois
Spurs needs a player that he is important since first day. All-around player. One defect : very nervous.
8. MEMPHIS PYRAMIDS
Mark Macon (SG) 21 / 6-4 / 185 / Temple
Pyramids has great roster but probably they need a SG. Macon is a mini-Starks, hard-worker and winner. Great defender.
9. HOUSTON ROCKETS
Greg Anthony (PG) 23 / 6-0 / 176 / UNLV
Rockets need a playmaker that he steal minutes to older players. Anthony will not be a superstar but he will make few mistakes
10. PHOENIX SUNS (from Milwaukee)
Richard Dumas (SF) 21 / 6-7 / 200 / Oklahoma State
Withiout problems drugs, his intensity helps to run the court and fight all balls.
11. NEW ORLEANS JAZZ
Gheorghe Muresan (C) 19 / 7-7 / 303 / Romania
Extravagant pick, they have Manute Bol, now Muresan. Two 7-7 players.
12. PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS
Eric Murdock (PG) 22 / 6-1 / 190 / Providence
A stealer, in "real life" he was the man with more steals in NCAA history. No more
13. SACRAMENTO KINGS
Terry Mills (PF) 23 / 6-10 / 230 / Michigan
Good shooter from three, perfect to open court for Coleman's talent.
14. MIAMI HEAT
Rick Fox (SF) 21 / 6-7 / 230 / North Carolina
He is thinking more in girls than in play basketball. Man, this is the NBA! Typical product of UNC. Probably, he has good ratings but no excellent.
15. PHOENIX SUNS
Rumeal Robinson (PG) 24 / 6-2 / 195 / Michigan
Another PG in this draft class. He think in assists before than score.
16. SEATTLE SUPERSONICS
Duane Causwell (C) 22 / 7-0 / 240 / Temple
Great blocker, it is very difficult to find a 7-0 in NCAA. No shoots.
17. CLEVELAND CAVALIERS (from Boston)
Doug Smith (PF) 21 / 6-10 / 220 / Missouri
Probably a steal of the draft. With minutes, he can be a good carreer in GAH, can score and rebound.
18. SAN ANTONIO(from Boston)
Chris Childs (PG) 23 / 6-3 / 195 / Boise State
A good guy out of the court. 3D man, has 3-point range and play defense well.
19. SACRAMENTO KINGS(from Atlanta)
Doug Overton (PG) 21 / 6-3 / 190 / La Salle
A cleaner PG. Few errors, but not shooting range.
20. LOS ANGELES LAKERS
Mark Randall (PF) 23 / 6-8 / 235 / Kansas
Leads NCAA FG% table, but most of these shoots was attemped from inside.
21. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS
Bobby Phills (SG) 21 / 6-5 / 210 / Southern
He is a "ninja"(his nickname in Spain), all of game he thinks in defense.
22. DETROIT PISTONS (from Washington)
Zan Tabak (C) 20 / 7-0 / 245 / Yugoslavia
Talented yugoslavian (in a lower level than Radja or Divac), he can play 20 minutes easily. Very fast.
23. INDIANA PACERS
LaBradford Smith (SG) 21 / 6-3 / 200 / Louisville
0 consistency. In real life his score high (37) was against Jordan, but he wasn't famed player.
24. DENVER NUGGETS
Lloyd Daniels (SG) 23 / 6-7 / 205 / Mount San Antonio
Scorer with bad FG%. Fast player for a 6-7 man and good hands.
25. CHICAGO BULLS
Predrag Danilovic (SG) 20 / 6-5 / 200 / Yugoslavia
A shooter-man with scoring. Not interested in defense.
* EXTRA LABRADFORD SMITH STORY
NBA HISTORY LESSON
What’s the lesson? Michael Jordan would tear your heart out and show it to you.
March 19, 1993
Jordan had a poor night from the field against the Washington Bullets (feels good to write “Bullets”). The Bullets took a 1-point lead with five minutes left in the 4th quarter, when Michael rattles off the Bulls’ next 11, winning the game 104 - 99. Great finish, but not the focus of our lesson.
Despite the win and his own 25-point total, Jordan was angry that the man he guarded, LaBradford Smith, scored 37. Jordan told reporters,
“That was a very embarrassing situation for me. Evidently I didn’t respect the guy and he’s certainly capable of putting up some numbers, and he did. Offensively, it wasn’t going for me and I let that effect my defensive effort and that’s something I will improve on. I look forward to the challenge.”
Jordan continued, telling reporters that Smith mocked him after the game saying,
“Nice game, Mike.”
Now, Mike wants blood, and he didn’t have to wait long. The Bulls played the Bullets only one evening later, this time in Washington. As the legend goes, Jordan promised to score LaBradford’s total from the night prior - 37 points - in the first half. Now, this is a history lesson.
March 20, 1993
Jordan starts the first quarter a perfect 8 for 8 from the floor. At the end of the first, he has 19 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. With three seconds left in the second quarter, Jordan has 35, with two free throw attempts at the line.
Somehow, Jordan misses the second, finishing the half with “only” 36 points. The Bulls went on to rout the Bullets by 25. Jordan finished with 47 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, while guarding Smith, holding him to 5 of 12 from the floor, for 15 points, no assists, and a turnover.
A ruthless performance. One for the history books, for certain. But the story gets much better. So. Much. Better.
In 1997, Michael Jordan admitted to making the whole thing up. LaBradford never said, “Nice game, Mike.” LaBradford Smith never said a word. Jordan lied. Michael created a fake quote, a phony rivalry, just to fire himself up, so he could kill Little LaBradford and his Bullets the next night.
And in what might be the strangest wrinkle in this otherwise insane story, LaBradford Smith never denied the any of it. As a matter of fact, his Bullet teammates believed Jordan.
Don’t you get it? Michael Jordan would have to be crazy to make up a story like that, and a certifiable maniac to not only believe his own lie, but to act on it, and get his “revenge.”
It’s a good thing to remember: Michael Jordan would tear your heart out. And he’d show it to you.
