Still a long ways to go, but I can't see the Kings picking a big man next year. Most likely, a PG/SG to back up Evans or replace Beno.

Why Sacramento is #9?

Would it be reasonable to keep the positional rankings from last year until the start of the season?

Or better yet, how are the Knicks 13?

How is the draft order determined? Harrison Barnes to the Raptors would be perfect.

There was no great scientific method for the draft order. I just needed a generic one so I took a way early swing at what I thought the order might look like without taking trades into account.

Clearly it is just random guess work until we know where the free agents end up, but I just like to use team needs in all my mocks.

Corey Fisher will easily be early 2nd round if not late 1st round. Maalik Wayns who has Ty Lawson type speed will be 1st round too.

International players to watch out for.....

Bojan Bogdanovic
Mario Delas
Antoine Diot
Milan Macvan
Mamadou Samb
Nicolo Melli
Nikola Mirotic

No wonder Orlando is 30th.

What can I say? I'm an optimist.

The Bucks got the Bulls 2011 2nd

I think you are being optimistic having the Cavs at 15. Without LeBron they will be in the lottery, most likely top 5.

Wow, so you really think NJ is going to be the worst team in the league again?

A Bronless Cavs team is easily top 3 worst in the league and likely the worst period.
Who do they have? No one.
Mo Williams, Antawn Jamison, JJ Hickson and a bunch of other scrubs.
Add to that the disappointment, self doubt and anger Lebron leaving will cause, the question mark of their coaching staff and front office and impatient and fiery owner.
They're done.

JaJuan Johnson will be a borderline first round pick (IMHO).

Just what the Warriors need...another stick figure SF/PF tweener...

I'm on the "Barnes or Bust" bandwagon.

Looking much better than the first. I like Lucas to the Jazz in the second round, but I think he'll be higher unless the point guard crop next year is amazing. I also like Sacre.

I still don't understand why you think NJ will be the worst team in the league again...

I just like having NJ at the top of my mock. I spent all last year with them there. It just feels right.
