I'd be shocked if Trent goes in the first round. I doubt there is any truth to the mock draft, and I hope Danny doesn't pick up Trent. Last thing BYU needs is a BYU alumni picking someone from BYU and the player turning out to be a dud. I can just imagine all the stories we'd see of Trent being picked in the first round only because he went to BYU.

The real question is if Chad Ford has even talked to Danny Ainge, or if he is just pulling names and scenarios out of hats.

This mock draft doesn't show us what Danny Ainge is thinking. It tells us Chad Ford thinks "Boston needs some depth at the 4-5 spot, and there's this BYU guy around, Danny Ainge went to BYU, heh...that'll make an interesting story line--I'll go with that."

I honestly think that is about the extent of thought that Chad Ford put into the later picks in the first round. Hibbert to Utah??? How the hell does Hibbert fit into a Jerry Sloan system, especially with Fez knocking on the door. The point being, mock drafts are crapshoots, and the farther down the list you get, the more crap that gets shot.

I think Ford is just making an assumption because of the BYU connection. The reason I think that is the case is because when you click on Trent's name it takes you to a pic and info about Ante Tomic who is listed as #30, not Trent at #30. Something is a bit fishy here... :unsure:

I think until the pre-NBA draft camp is complete this is fairly meaningless. I think Trent could break into the first round with a great performance but since Danny Ainge and Chad Ford are both mormon I wouldn't put a whole lot of weight on it yet. Of course at the same time since they are both mormon maybe Chad has some insights into what Danny is planning.
