2012 NBA Mock Draft


This is the first mock draft post college declaration period.  This mock attempts to take into account team needs so some players are picked higher or lower than their ranking or value may insinuate.   This is also prior to NBA workouts (excluding Portsmouth invitational).  Things will invariably change and, the Draft Lottery has the potential to change the draft order for the first round, but for now these are our projections.  Explanations of each of the picks  will be updated and linked as they are completed so be sure to check back and see why who might go where.
