This just popped up on my twitter, and I'd never really seen a mock from this long ago. Jackie Mac's mock:

A few notes:

3. Grizzlies: Stephon Marbury, G, Georgia Tech. Marbury has made
it clear he doesn't want to play for Vancouver, so this
pick--and Marbury--could wind up being the Timberwolves'. Will
Doug West and the No. 5 pick get it done? Marbury, who is close
to Minnesota's Kevin Garnett, hopes so.

10. Pacers (from the Nuggets): Steve Nash, G, Santa Clara.
Although Indiana cleared the way for Travis Best to be its point
guard of the future by trading Mark Jackson to Denver last week,
the Pacers view Nash as the perfect complement.

19. Knicks (from the Hawks via the Heat): Kobe Bryant, G, Lower
Merion (Pa.) High. When you have three first-round selections,
this is the kind of chance that makes sense.

Also, no Peja in the first round. Just thought it was kind of interesting to look back on.

Wow, Nash on the Pacers woulda been interesting.

So what you're telling me is Papagiannis can be our Peja?

As much as we mock Chad Ford, the level of draft coverage has sure come a long way from 2 decades ago.

He still changes his mocks post-draft. He deserves to be mocked.

Bringing this back from the dead.

Anyone know why Shareef Abdur-Rahim wasn’t in this mock? Found another ‘96 mock that left him out too.

Find it crazy that someone went from not being in a mock to number 3 in the draft.

People think the Hornets would have drafted Kobe just because that's who the Lakers took. I still don't believe they would have. They needed a big, and they were in a prime spot to grab one.

Would have to be an oversight - he was a collegiate star.

Where's SAR? This doesn't make any sense.

i've forgotten that ilgauskas was part of the '96 draft

also, people sometimes forget ben wallace was part of the '96 draft class, even though he was undrafted
