NBA Mock: 2nd Round

31. New Jersey Nets: Stanley Robinson SF, UCONN Sr. (6-7¾, 215)
The Nets have two promising young players who can play small forward, Chris Douglas-Roberts and Terrence Williams, but neither guy is very tall and both will have trouble matching up against the bigger 3's in the league. Stanley Robinson is a big time athlete and the potential lockdown wing defender that every good team needs.

32. Oklahoma City Thunder (from Minnesota Timberwolves): Dexter Pittman C, Texas Sr. (6-11½, 303)
The Thunder need a large, post-rooted big man to complement to the more mobile Serge Ibaka. Dexter Pittman is the beast down low the Thunder need, even if it's for 20 minutes a game. He's also a huge body to set screens for Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.

33. Sacramento Kings: Terrico White PG/SG, Mississippi So. (6-5, 203)
Terrico White adds great versatility to the Kings backcourt, because he can play the point as a scoring point guard, or play off the ball, spot up and cut. He'll be a good fit with Tyreke Evans and also Beno Udrih.

34. Washington Wizards: Darington Hobson SG/SF, New Mexico Jr. (6-6½, 204)
Darington Hobson is the kind of role player every team needs. He can play the 1, 2, and 3, is a great passer, can rebound, and score. He'll be a nice fourth or fifth option or glue guy off the bench.

35. Golden State Warriors: Jerome Jordan C, Tulsa Sr. (7-0¾, 244)
The Warriors missed on one of the elite big men in the first round, but have a chance to grab a guy like Jerome Jordan. Hopefully he can bulk up and become the post defender they need. He's also athletic and can shoot, a Don Nelson must.

36. Detroit Pistons: Gani Lawal PF, Georgia Tech Jr. (6-9, 233)
The Pistons continue to remake their frontcourt with young talent. Gani Lawal has the potential to be a pretty good forward, but at his worst he should be a good hustle player off the bench. The value of the 20 minute a game big man in the NBA is undervalued.

37. Milwaukee Bucks (from Philadelphia 76ers): Trevor Booker PF, Clemson Sr. (6-7½, 236)
Trevor Booker is a Scott Skiles guy through and through. He's tough, plays extremely hard, and is a emotional leader. I can see him excelling next to Andrew Bogut and with Brandon Jennings playing the point.

38. New York Knicks: Elliot Williams SG, Memphis So. (6-4, 180)
If Elliot Williams was two inches taller, he'd be a lottery pick. I don't know if he'll be anything but a backup guard, but he's got the scoring ability and stopper potential to be a solid starter.

39. New York Knicks (from Denver Nuggets): Miroslav Raduljica C, Serbia (7-1, 250)
Mike D'Antoni loves foreign players and the Knicks are desperate for a center, because as of today Eddy Curry is their starter there. Raduljica might not want to play in the NBA, but if he does, he's ready to contribute to a winning team. It's a risk worth taking.

40. Indiana Pacers: Tibor Pleiss C, Germany (7-0, 220)
The Pacers don't have a lot of cap space, so taking Euro project makes sense. Tibor Pleiss is a skilled, pretty athletic big man. However, he needs to add a ton of muscle and refine his game.

41. Miami Heat (from New Orleans Hornets): Devin Ebanks SF, West Virginia So. (6-8¼, 208)
If the Heat want to add two max guys and contend in the East, they'll need to deal with LeBron and Paul Peirce, Devin Ebanks is gritty, long and athletic, a perfect defensive stopper. He was a great defender in college and has the potential to be a special one in the pros.

42. Miami Heat (from Toronto Raptors): Keith Gallon PF, Oklahoma Fr. (6-9½, 302)
Tiny Gallon is a good fit playing next to Dwyane Wade because he can crash the glass and spot up off penetration.

43. Los Angeles Lakers (from Memphis Grizzles): Ryan Richards PF/C, England (6-11¾, 230)
Whether the Lakers trade for Chris Bosh or not, the need frontcourt depth. Ryan Richards is inexperienced, but he brings an nice skill set to the triangle offense and great size. He can play both the 4 and the 5.

44. Portland Trailblazers (from Chicago Bulls): Willie Warren PG/SG, Oklahoma So. (6-3¾, 208)
Willie Warren has talent, and can score, but he's got some serious attitude issues to deal with and didn't test out as well or perform great in workouts. Still, the Blazers could use him as a backup and shooter off of Brandon Roy.

45. Minnesota Timberwolves (from Houston Rockets): Dominique Jones SG, South Florida Jr. (6-5, 216)
Dominique Jones could go in the first round, and probably should. Still, concerns about his athleticism and shot will probably drop him some. He'll be a valuable scorer off the bench.

46. Phoenix Suns (from Charlotte Bobcats): Derrick Caracter PF, UTEP Jr. (6-9½, 280)
It looks like Amare Stoudmire won't be coming back to Phoenix, so a replacement needs to be found. Derrick Caracter is already a skilled low post scorer and will benefit greatly by playing next to Steve Nash. His character concerns will be nullified by a veteran team.

47. Milwaukee Bucks: Mikhail Torrance PG, Alabama Sr. (6-5, 209)
The Bucks will mostly likely need a backup point guard next year, and Mikhail Torrance is a great option. He's a nice, big alternative to the smaller Brandon Jennings, and can also play the 2 beside Jennings. He's also a promising defender.

48. Miami Heat: Manny Harris SG, Michigan Jr. (6-5½, 185)
Part of the Heats problem is that they don't have enough players who can create for themselves. Manny Harris is very good at that, and is a good passer as well. He'll be able to give Wade a rest and fill his role to an extent.

49. San Antonio Spurs (from Boston Celtics): Pablo Aguilar SF, Spain (6-8, 210)
Pablo Aguilar isn't a really well know prospect, but he's the kind of player the Spurs identify and turn into a star in a couple years.

50. Dallas Mavericks (from San Antonio Spurs): Charles Garcia PF, Seattle Jr. (6-9¼, 232)
The Mavericks current back up power forward is Eduardo Najera. They need to add some youth, athleticism and potential to that spot.

51. Oklahoma City Thunder: Andy Rautins PG/SG, Syracuse Sr. (6-5, 192)
The Thunder could really use some shooters, and Rautins is one of the best. He's also a unselfish passer and a leader.

52. Boston Celtics: Sherron Collins PG, Kansas Sr. (5-11
When Tony Allen and Nate Robinson are you options at back up point guard, you need to find a better option.

53. Atlanta Hawks: Sylven Landesberg SG, Virginia So. (6-6¼, 210)
Sylven Landesburg is a talented player with an NBA body, if he can keep his head on straight, he'll be a contributor.

54. Los Angeles Clipper (from Denver Nuggets): Tyren Johnson SF, Louisiana-Lafayette Sr. (6-8, 204)
Even if the Clippers draft Gordon Heyward, they'll still need another small forward because they have none on the roster right now.

55. Utah Jazz: Greivis Vasquez PG, Maryland St. (6-6½, 211)
I'm not sure who he'll guard in the NBA, but he's an emotional leader and has a nack for the spectacular. He may never be anything but a backup, but he'll always play his hardest.

56. Minnesota Timberwolves (from Phoenix Suns): Da'Sean Butler SF, West Virginia Sr. (6-8, 225)
Da'Sean Butler has the highest intangibles of anyone in this draft. If he can recover from a knee injury, he'll be a nice addition to a young team.

57. Indiana Pacers (from Dallas Mavericks:) Jon Scheyer PG/SG, Duke Sr. (6-6, 180)
They say you need one elite skill to make it in the NBA. I don't know what Jon Scheyer's is, but a team like Indiana will love him as a backup point guard.

58. Los Angeles Lakers: Ben Uzoh PG, Tulsa Sr. (6-3, 200)
Even if Derek Fisher is resigned, Shannon Brown and Jordan Farmar probably won't be. Ben Uzoh will be a perfect fit for what the Lakers run, if he can develop a more consistent shot.

59. Orlando Magic: Dwayne Collins PF, Miami Sr. (6-8, 240)
When you have Rashard Lewis as your starting 4, you're giving up some toughness at that position. Dwayne Collins probably won't make the Magic's roster, but he's a local kid who certainly is tough.

60. Phoenix Suns (from Cleveland Cavaliers): Luke Harengody PF, Notre Dame Sr. (6-7¾, 240)
You can't replace a guy like Amare with only one player. Even if Derrick Caracter works out, a guy like Luke Harengody would work well in the Suns system and fit in with their gritty, tough bench.
