Updated: May 3, 2013.

Team needs and outstanding trades have been taken into account with this mock draft.

  1. Boston Celtics: Kelly Olynyk, 7-0, C, Gonzaga, Jr.
    The Celtics could use a big man inside and the "Dazed and Confused" looking big man made huge strides with his game this year. He is a skilled, but not very physical, seven-footer.


  2. Atlanta Hawks: Mason Plumlee, PF, Duke, 6-10, Sr.
    The Hawks will be going through a roster transition this offseason and will likely take the best available player at this option.


  3. Atlanta Hawks: Tony Mitchell, SF, North Texas, 6-8, So.
    With Josh Smith likely leaving via free agency, the Hawks could use an athletic forward which Tony Mitchell certainly is.

    Atlanta owns the Rockets' pick (via Brooklyn/Terrence Williams trade) from the Joe Johnson trade. Go here to see all of the outstanding 2013 NBA Draft Trades.




  4. Cleveland Cavaliers: Dennis Schroeder, PG, Germany, 6-2, 1993
    Backcourt depth is still an area of need for the Cavaliers. Dennis Schroeder really turned heads at the Nike Hoops Summit, emerging as a first-round prospect.

    Cleveland owns the Lakers' pick (via the Miami/LeBron James trade.) Go here to see all of the outstanding 2013 NBA Draft Trades.


  5. Chicago Bulls: Jeff Withey, C, Kansas, 7-0, Sr.
    I think the Bulls either look for a shooting guard or depth inside, and take the best available of those options. Jeff Withey is a great shot blocker and Chicago loves defensive-minded players. He could help replace what the Bulls lost in Omer Asik last offseason.


  6. Utah Jazz: Gorgui Dieng, C, Louisville, 6-11, Jr.
    With Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap free agents, the Jazz need some options up front. Gorgui Dieng is a terrific shot blocker and has a developing mid-range game as well.

    Utah owns the Warriors' pick (via the Brooklyn/Marcus Williams trade) from the Deron Williams trade. Go here to see all of the outstanding 2013 NBA Draft Trades.


  7. Brooklyn Nets: Sergey Karasev, SF, Russia, 6-7, 1993
    The Nets need depth all across the board and will look at the best available player. Sergey Karasev is a crafty scorer who can really shoot it from distance.




  8. Indiana Pacers: Allen Crabbe, SG, California, 6-6, Jr.
    Drafting a power forward makes sense since David West is in the final year of his deal, but with no four worth taking at this point, a wing could be an option in case Indiana decides to move Danny Granger.


  9. New York Knicks: Mouhammadu Jaiteh, PF/C, France, 6-11, 1994
    Depth inside or a wing would be the best option here, and though Mouhammadu Jaiteh is a project big man, he's worth taking at this point.


  10. Los Angeles Clippers: Steven Adams, C, Pittsburgh, 7-0, Fr.
    The Clippers lack any real depth depth inside. Steven Adams has the ideal size for a NBA big, but still needs time to develop before he'll be ready to be a real contributor.


  11. Minnesota Timberwolves: Lucas Noguiera, C, Brazil, 7-0, 1992
    Having gone with a wing in the lottery, the Timberwolves turn their attention to adding some size inside. Lucas Noguiera has been on scouts' radars for quite some time due to his size and athleticism.

    Minnesota owns the Grizzlies' first-round pick (via the Rockets/Shane Battier trade) from the Donatas Motiejunas trade. Go here to see all of the outstanding 2013 NBA Draft Trades.




  12. Denver Nuggets: Jamaal Franklin, SG, San Diego State, 6-5, Jr.
    With Andre Iguodala holding a player option on his contract and Corey Brewer a free agent, the versatile Jamaal Franklin provides insurance on the wing.


  13. San Antonio Spurs: Reggie Bullock, G/F, North Carolina, 6-7, Jr.
    The Spurs could use depth on the wing or inside. Reggie Bullock has great size for his position and can stroke the rock.


  14. Oklahoma City Thunder: Archie Goodwin, SG, Kentucky, 6-4, Fr.
    Archie Goodwin would add insurance on the wing if Kevin Martin leaves via free agency.


  15. Phoenix Suns: Ricky Ledo, G/F, Providence, 6-7, Fr.
    The Suns add another wing player with plenty of potential. Because he was ineligible, Ricky Ledo didn't play a single game for the Friars this season, but he is athletic and has great size for his position.

    Phoenix owns the Heat's pick (via Lakers/Steve Nash trade.) Go here to see all of the outstanding 2013 NBA Draft Trades.

Now that the Lakers' magic number for the playoffs is down to 1, maybe you'll give their pick to the Cavs...though something tells me that even if the Lakers make the playoffs, you will still have their pick with the Suns!

I'd love for shabazz to come wear the bird de leis!!!at worst he'd be 6th man behind faroq aminu and at best may force is to trade Gordon/faroq aminu because he's that good.plus we could trade one of them for that gortat guy then we'd have a true center.call me crazy but Muhammed is awesome for the pelicans.

No Lakers pick in round 1? If not lottery it goes to Cleveland, which you have refused to ever acknowledge anyway, but that's not what you have either. Kobe's injury so grave they are going to withdraw from the association?

I love the bulls taking Jeff Withey I think that he will fill the role that Omer Asik filled so well.

You have Zeller ranked as a top five prospect, but he is not in your draft. Last time I checked 7 foot tall big men who can do what Zeller does on the court are very rare.

Joe ur full of crap. Obviously a Buckeye so go eat some crap. Glenn will be a great college player. But I agree he shouldn't go pro.

Glenn Robinson is a useless college player, if my Washington Wizards take him at 10 I'll need a new television set. Perhaps I should prepare my television with a few layers of bubble wrap before the draft. Robinson would be just as bad a pick as Vesely was.

I honestly hope that the bulls pick Withey. He could turn into a valuable role player behing Noah and would be a way better option instead or signing come guy way out of his prime like Kurt Thomas or Nazr Mohammed.

No Doug anderson he is a top level athlete. he should be one top two or three shooting guard coming out this draft what are y'all watching.

No Cody zeller?

Unless I missed it did not see him in the 1st round. Should easily be a top 20 pick
