Updated: June 12, 2013

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

  1. Boston Celtics: Sergey Karasev, SF, Russia, 6-7, 1993
    This is more of a "best available player" grab for the Celtics. Sergey Karasev has already played at a high level in Russia and can probably step in right away as a 3-point threat off the Celtics bench.


  2. Atlanta Hawks: Steven Adams, C, Pittsburgh, 7-0, Fr.
    The Hawks will be going through a major roster transition this offseason and will likely take the best available player at this option. Steven Adams is raw, but has ideal size for an NBA big man and is loaded with potential.


  3. Atlanta Hawks: Allen Crabbe, SG, California, 6-6, Jr.
    The Hawks will have holes to fill on the wing. and Allen Crabbe's size and ability to score the basketball make him an attractive grab.

    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: Kelly Olynyk, 7-0, C, Gonzaga, Jr.
    In addressing their need at small forward with the top pick, the Cavaliers look to add an offensively minded post scorer like Kelly Olynyk.

    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: Gorgui Dieng, C, Louisville, 6-11, Jr.
    I think the Bulls either look for a shooting guard or depth inside, and take the best available of those options. Gorgui Dieng is a solid shot blocker and has a developing mid-range game.


  6. Utah Jazz: Mason Plumlee, PF, Duke, 7-0, Sr.
    Since the Jazz addressed its need for a point guard with its lottery selection, the team turn its attention to frontcourt depth since Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap are both free agents.

    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: Jeff Withey, C, Kansas, 7-0, Sr.
    The Nets need depth all across the board and will look at the best available player who can provide a punch off the bench. Jeff Withey was one of the top shot blockers in college basketball this past season and should be a solid backup center in the NBA.




  8. Indiana Pacers: Jamaal Franklin, SG, San Diego State, 6-5, Jr.
    Drafting a power forward makes sense since David West is in the final year of his deal, but there is nobody really worth taking at this point,. Instead, the Pacers add a versatile wing who should help add some punch off the bench - especially if Indiana ends up shopping Danny Granger this summer.


  9. New York Knicks: Archie Goodwin, SG, Kentucky, 6-5, Fr.
    Depth inside or a young point guard would fit needs for the Knicks, but I think they take the best available prospect. Archie Goodwin has the tools to be a solid NBA player, he just needs to work on his jump shot and New York could allow him to grow his game before pressing him into the lineup.


  10. Los Angeles Clippers: Tony Mitchell, F, North Texas, 6-9, Soph.
    The Clippers really need to add some frontcourt depth or a small forward and, though Tony Mitchell doesn't bring a ton of physicality inside, he is a terrific athlete and rebounder who can player either forward position.


  11. Minnesota Timberwolves: Giannas Antetokounmpo, SF, Greece, 6-9, 1994
    Having gone with a wing in the lottery, the Timberwolves can roll the dice here and take a versatile player with upside. Antetokounmpo may be 6-9 but he can play a point forward role though he is still very early in his all-around development.

    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: Reggie Bullock, G/F, North Carolina, 6-7, Jr.
    With Andre Iguodala holding a player option on his contract and Corey Brewer a free agent, the Nuggets should look to add some insurance on the wing. Reggie Bullock has great size for his position and can stroke it from distance.


  13. San Antonio Spurs: Lucas Noguiera, C, Brazil, 7-0, 1992
    The Spurs could use depth on the wing or inside. Lucas Nogueira has been on scout's radars for a while but needs another year or two before truly being ready to contribute in the NBA.


  14. Oklahoma City Thunder: Tim Hardaway Jr., SG, Michigan, 6-6, Jr.
    Tim Hardaway Jr. is a solid all-around player who could help replace Kevin Martin if he leaves via free agency and in case Jeremy Lamb isn't ready to step into the rotation.


  15. Phoenix Suns: Ricky Ledo, G/F, Providence, 6-6, 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.

Detroit Pistons will take Ray McCallum from Detroit University as a point in the Second Round. They have two picks and he is a hometown hero with huge upside. Dad is also close by to keep his head on straight.

Are you aware that the now official name of New Orleans NBA team is called the Pelicans. It became official the day after the season ended. So if you want to be up to date, in the future it would be correct to call them the New Orleans Pelicans.

I like your first pick for the Cavs but I really feel like they are going to try and draft a Center or bigger PF that can play either positions. I know they just drafted Zeller but I expect the Cavs to either trade or start looking for a new guy to replace Varejao and have Zeller come off the bench. Zeller looked okay at times but unless he adds another 20 or so pounds I don't seem him being able to take the physical NBA game.

Love your site but you gotta change the IU logo. That logo was used for Football not basketball and hasn't even been used for football in about 15 years!
