Pat’s NBA Mock Draft 2.0: The Lottery

           With the NBA Draft just a couple of hours away, here is my second mock draft, enjoy!

1. New Orleans Hornets - Anthony Davis

 Davis is the obvious choice here, he is a lock to go #1

2. Charlotte Bobcats - Thomas Robinson

There has been a lot of speculation that the Bobcats will trade this pick, but if they keep it, T-Rob looks like the most likely selection

3. Washington Wizards - Brad Beal

Pat’s NBA Mock Draft 1.0

With the draft 20 days away, I figured I would put out my first mock draft of the year. I made this mock draft using ESPN.com’s draft machine. I based this mock draft on team needs and what each player brings to the table, as well as potential for each player. Here it is-

 

 
1 Anthony Davis 6’10″ PF, Kentucky- HORNETS
2 Thomas Robinson 6’9″ PF, Kansas- BOBCATS
3 Michael Kidd-Gilchrist 6’7″ SF, Kentucky- WIZARDS
4 Bradley Beal 6’5″ SG, Florida- CAVALIERS
5 Harrison Barnes 6’8″ SF, North Carolina- KINGS

Wizards Draft Prospects 2.0

The NBA draft is only about a month away now and the draft lottery less than 2 weeks so I thought it was time to give my big board for the Wizards possible selections with whichever pick they end up receiving. I also had a dream last night that they Wizards were awarded the #3 pick at the draft lottery so it made me think of this again. We know now that their selection will range somewhere between 1 and 5 so there are only so many players that I think the Wizards should consider. Remember when I give these rankings they are my rankings in order of who I think the Wizards should draft because they have specific needs and fits. I might think that one player is slightly better or has a higher ceiling than another player but I still might have that other player ranked higher because I feel that they fit with the Wizards better or are a position of need for us. My rankings have changed some since my original Wizards draft rankings on 3/27 (http://www.beltwaysportsblog.com/2012/03/27/early-wizards-draft-prospects/), but I will still be using the same descriptions of the players for this post along with my most recent updates.
