BTBP Mock NBA Draft: Editor’s Edition

Apr 4, 2015; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Wisconsin Badgers forward Frank Kaminsky (44) celebrates with fans after defeating the Kentucky Wildcats in the 2015 NCAA Men

What The Experts Say:

"Kaminsky’s uniqueness is in his versatility and efficiency. Though he’s not the best athlete in this draft, he has great agility and footwork and above average offensive skills for his size. And while he can post up and play off the lane in isolation situations, his outside shooting will cause issues for NBA defenses. – Fran Fraschilla, ESPN"

What The Player Says:

"I was an unheralded kid coming out of high school. I had to work my way at Wisconsin to to the point where I could get minutes. I needed a few years to get my feet wet. – Frank Kaminsky"

What BTBP Says:

Kaminsky is one of the more remarkable stories of this year’s class, and having played his college ball as a Wisconsin Badger, he’s a guy that a lot of Bucks fans are already very familiar with.

Kaminsky went from averaging one point a game as a freshman to finishing off his college career with a season where he averaged over 18 per game as part of a phenomenal Badgers’ tournament run. That led to Kaminsky becoming a household name, a media darling and even gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Kaminsky in his current shape will struggle hold the fort down as a traditional center in the NBA, a factor that could make him an excellent fit as a stretch four alongside Al Jefferson in Charlotte.

The Hornets may only have drafted Noah Vonleh in the top ten last year, but his failure to make any real impact could tempt them into moving for a player like Kaminsky.

Tucker Warner of SB Nation’s At The Hive is better equipped to make a call on Charlotte’s situation, and he was certainly able to find some positives for the idea of drafting Kaminsky:

"Frank Kaminsky would, at the very least, offer the shooting that the Hornets have been looking for, especially since he’d be playing a frontcourt position where he’d be stretching the floor a lot. The Hornets could desperately use the spacing that Kaminsky would provide, and he’d bolster their frontcourt rotation with an offensively-minded player who could help out his teammates with ball movement."
