NBA Mock Draft 2016: Point Guards

POINT GUARDS / SHOOTING GUARDS / SMALL FORWARDS / POWER FORWARDS / CENTERS

Point Guard / 6-4 / Providence / Junior
16.4 ppg, 5.3 rpg

Ricky Rubio is just 25 and has improved upon his greatest weakness, his outside shooting. The team may look for more of a combo like Murray if given the option of the two. But Dunn is considered a true point guard and could be seen as an upgrade to Rubio with his superior athleticism. Dunn also came up clean in physicals as some thought his shoulders could trigger red flags.

Comparison: Devin Harris
Salary: $3,227,100*
Point Guard / 6-5 / Kentucky / Freshman
20.0 ppg, 5.2 rpg

The Pelicans would probably prefer to see Dunn available here, but Murray is a very solid kid with a high floor. There is some optimism that he can develop into a point guard, which he played in high school. But his lack of speed, which makes the CJ McCollum comparisons far-fetched, likely limits him to being a 2 guard. He is a bit longer than some reports have stated as he measured at 8'4.5" in his first year and then a 8'2.5" standing reach in his second year at the Hoop Summit, which is probably more accurate than the 8'1" he measured at the Kentucky Combine.

Comparison: Ben Gordon
Salary: $2,931,000*
Point Guard / 6-3 / Vanderbilt / Sophomore
14.1 ppg, 5.2 apg

Mike Conley potentially bolting in free agency, the Grizzlies will probably be looking for a point guard at their pick. While we view him as a bit of a reach here, he would offer a solid upside player at a posiiton of need.

Comparison: Spencer Dinwiddie
Salary: $1,494,800*
Point Guard / 6-1 / Notre Dame / Junior
15.8 ppg, 4.7 apg

Jackson could become more of a vocal leader, but for a team searching for an identity, adding a traditional point guard to go along with the 6-foot-10 one they're likely to grab at No. 1 would fill a pressing need for them.

Comparison: Jonny Flynn
Salary: $1,026,300*

Key: (*) Standard salary for players selected with that pick in 2016-17.
