With the 2014 NBA Draft now just one month away, TSN 1050s Will Strickland and Duane Watson, hosts of "1-on-1 with Will & Duane" heard on Sunday nights,
have released their mock draft for the first round.
Henrik Lundqvist Jersey . While both analysts go in different directions with their selections (as they often do on their
show), there is consensus at the top of the draft, starting with some Canadian
content at first-overall. Strickland and Watson both have Thornhill, Ontarios
Andrew Wiggins out of Kansas going first-overall to the Cleveland Cavaliers,
where he would join fellow GTA products in Tristan Thompson and Anthony Bennett.
"A unique situation where talent and need are both met. Wigginss upside is high
and will excel at the pro level," says Watson of the pick. Wigginss Jayhawks
teammate, centre Joel Embiid, is Watsons choice for the next pick to the
Milwaukee Bucks. Watson agrees with the assessment. "Embiid is the logical
choice," says Strickland. "His back issues might be a red flag for some, but its
hard to pass on this potential." For Strickland, the next Canadian to go in the
first round will be Syracuse point guard, Tyler Ennis. He has him going at #6 to
the Boston Celtics. "Excellent pick, especially if Rajon Rondo is no longer in
Bostons future plans," says Strickland. "Smart, tough, solid and may get the
keys to the car before trade deadline." Watson also sees Ennis being taken early
on, but not until the 15th-selection and the Orlando Magic. While Strickland
sees a pair of Canadians heading to Arizona with Melvin Ejim of Iowa State going
at #14 and Arizona States Jordan Bachynski going at #27 to the Phoenix Suns,
theres no place for the duo in Watsons first round. The final consensus Canadian
to be drafted in the first round will be Michigan guard Nik Stauskas. Strickland
sees the Mississauga, Ontario product heading to the Denver Nuggets at #11,
while Watson believes hell be taken one pick later by the Orlando Magic. "A
flat-out shooter, something the Magic lack and one with an overlooked ability to
create his own shot and create for others," says Watson of Stauskas. Click here
