2013 NBA Mock Draft: Round 1

2014 NBA Mock Draft
2012 NBA Mock Draft
2011 NBA Mock Draft
2010 NBA Mock Draft
2009 NBA Mock Re-Draft
Updated: May 3, 2013.

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

  1. Cleveland Cavaliers: Livio Jean Charles, F, France, 6-9, 1993
    Another player who caught the attention of NBA scouts at the Nike Hoops Summit, Livio Jean Charles plays with terrific energy.


  2. Oklahoma City Thunder: Shane Larkin, PG, Miami FL, 5-11, So.
    Shane Larkin could easily be a first-round pick, so this would be more a value selection for the Thunder.


  3. Cleveland Cavaliers: Brandon Paul, SG, Illinois, 6-4, Sr.
    I think Brandon Paul is being undervalued in this draft and could potentially be a threat off someone's bench.


  4. Houston Rockets: Lorenzo Brown, PG, N.C. State, 6-5, Jr.
    The Rockets don't have much depth at guard behind James Harden and Jeremy Lin.




  5. Philadelphia 76ers: Tim Hardaway Jr., SG, Michigan, 6-5, Jr.
    The 76ers need depth on the wing since Nick Young and Dorrell Wright are both free agents.


  6. Sacramento Kings: DeShaun Thomas, SF, Ohio State, 6-7, Jr.
    DeShaun Thomas is a talented all-around scorer who lacks NBA-level athleticism.


  7. Washington Wizards: Erick Green, G, Virginia Tech, 6-4, Sr.
    The Wizards need some depth at guard behind John Wall and Bradley Beal.


  8. Detroit Pistons: Trevor Mbakwe, PF, Minnesota, 6-8, Sr.
    Trevor Mbakwe should be able to contribute off somebody's bench due to his ability to rebound the basketball.


  9. Portland Trail Blazers: C.J. Leslie, F, N.C. State, 6-9, Jr.
    C.J. Leslie is a ridiculous athlete who excels above the, rim but there are some concerns about his intangibles.


  10. Portland Trail Blazers: Vander Blue, SG, Marquette, 6-4, Jr.
    Blue is a tremendous athlete and showed strides this past season with his perimeter game as well.




  11. Memphis Grizzlies: Tony Snell, SF, New Mexico, 6-7, Jr.
    Tony Snell could develop into a role player down the road due to his athleticism, plus the Grizzlies could use depth at the two since Tony Allen is a free agent.


  12. Philadelphia 76ers: Nate Wolters, G, South Dakota State, 6-4, Sr.
    Wolters' ability to shoot the ball from deep should find him a home at the next level.


  13. Milwaukee Bucks: Isaiah Canaan, PG, Murray State, 6-0, Sr.
    Brandon Jennings will be a restricted free agent and the Bucks really don't have any options behind him, so a point guard makes sense.


  14. Dallas Mavericks: Myck Kabongo, PG, Texas, 6-1, So.
    Myck Kabongo is a pure distributor, and the Mavericks need options at the point since Darren Collison and Rodrigue Beaubois could both leave via free agency.




  15. Portland Trail Blazers: Andre Roberson, SF, Colorado, 6-7, Jr.
    A tremendous athlete, Andre Roberson is a prolific rebounder at the college level, but he's still working on becoming a more consistent outside shooter.


  16. Utah Jazz: Kenny Kadji, PF, Miami, 6-11, Sr.
    Kenny Kadji has good size and the ability to stretch defenses with his perimeter shooting.


  17. Atlanta Hawks: B.J. Young, PG, Arkansas, 6-3, So.
    B.J. Young is a combo guard with high upside, and the Hawks need talent all across the board.


  18. Los Angeles Lakers: Will Clyburn, G/F, Iowa State, 6-7, Sr.
    With Kobe's injury, the Lakers needs to add scoring options on the wing.


  19. Chicago Bulls: Michael Snaer, SG, Florida State, 6-4, Sr.
    The Bulls need to find an upgrade at the shooting guard. Michael Snaer is capable of getting it done on both ends of the floor.




  20. Atlanta Hawks: Norvell Pelle, PF, LA College Prep, 6-10, Fr.
    With their fourth pick, the Hawks can roll the dice on an athletic big with with high upside.


  21. Orlando Magic: Peyton Siva, PG, Louisville, 5-11, Sr.
    Peyton Siva is a proven winner, and the Magic will likely lose their backup point guard, Beno Udrih.


  22. Minnesota Timberwolves: James Southerland, SF, Syracuse, 6-8, Sr.
    With limitless range from the outside, James Southerland could a weapon off somebody's bench.


  23. Indiana Pacers: Erik Murphy, PF, Florida, 6-10, Sr.
    Erik Murphy's inside/outside ability makes him an intriguing prospect despite his lack of NBA athleticism.


  24. Washington Wizards: Solomon Hill, SF, Arizona, 6-6, Jr.
    The Wildcats senior is a versatile wing who can do a little bit of everything on the floor, but doesn't excel in any one particular area.





  25. Memphis Grizzlies: Adonis Thomas, G/F, Memphis, 6-7, So.
    Adonis Thomas should have returned to school since he underachieved at Memphis. Still, Thomas could become a contributor someday due to his size and strength.

  26. Detroit Pistons: Pierre Jackson, PG, Baylor, 5-10, Sr.
    Size is a concern, but Pierre Jackson is a high-energy point guard capable of stroking it from deep or using his quickness to get to the rim.


  27. Phoenix Suns: Alex Abrines, SG, Spain, 6-5, 1993
    Alex Abrines is draft-and-stash prospect who could contribute down the road.


  28. San Antonio Spurs: Mike Muscala, PF/C, Bucknell, 6-11, Sr.
    The Bisons big man is an inside/outside threat.


  29. Minnesota Timberwolves: Marko Todrovic, C, Montenegro, 6-11, 1992
    The Timberwolves go the foreign route with their fourth pick of the 2013 NBA Draft.


  30. Memphis Grizzlies: Nemanja Nedovic, G, Serbia, 6-4, 1991
    With three second-round picks, the Grizzlies could use this pick as a draft-and-stash option.

as a celtics fan, i want to see them draft one of them sg's like the guy a couple down below me said...i love john jenkins, terrance ross also, i think wroten could work too, i don't really like the bigs in this draft the centers are ok, if they take a center with one of the picks, thats fine, but not one of these small pf's, we got jajuan last year, let him step up and show what he got....the one player i love out of this draft tho is bradley beal, if the celtics could somehow package paul pierce and picks for that #2 pick, they'd be getting a future superstar in beal

Whoever pick's up Bradley Beal will be getting a hell of a player. I believe he will be an all star within 2 or 3 seasons. May not a as athletic, but I also believe he may have a D-Wade impact. Kendall Marshall would be an ideal pick up for the Hornets. Somebody who can feed the ball to Ant David and help develop his offensive game.

As a Celtics fan, I'd like them to draft Terrence Ross, Doron Lamb or John Jenkins because I think Ray Allen will retire and they'll need a sharp-shooting SG off the bench behind Avery Bradley. Then I think KG will retire, leaving them to either draft Andrew Nicholson and sign Roy Hibbert or draft Meyers Leonard and sign Ersan Ilyasova. I really doubt they'll draft a SF though, with Pierce and possibly re-signing Jeff Green and Mickael Pietrus.

What are you talking about? The reasoning is that Kidd-Gilchrist is the best player available and even though SF isn't neccesarily a big need, the Wiz should just worry about finding talent. What didn't you understand?

Excellent first two picks with great reasoning for them.

The 3rd pick, while really nothing more than a throwaway, has awful reasoning behind it. Even if they amnesty Blech they've still got 4 guys who are currently ahead of him on the depth chart that can play the 4 or 5 spots (and Booker can play some 3). If anything, they'll just give a full year deal to James Singleton who averaged 8.2 points and 6.8 rebounds in 21.8 minutes during his 12 games after coming up from the D-league.

The GS Warriors are interested in one of the Jones boys, Terrence or Perry, for SF. They would prefer others but do not want to pay the price.

The hornets could draft rivers and have Gordon move over to the 1. They could take a pg. Marshall possibly. I want them to take pg3 cuz he can truly be a star hornets need more depth and Davis could play the 5 in the nba then have jones at the 4 but I like taking rivers then this is what u have

1. Gordon
2. Rivers
3. Ariza
4. Davis
5. Kaman

This is a playoff lineup in 2 years grunted

I really think the Bobcast need to trade the No 2 pick to get multiple draft picks, Davis would have been the answer and secured hope...but since its not going that way, they have to get multiple pieces to go along with K Walker and Bismack. They can get Barnes, Lamb, Terrence Ross or PJ Jones III if they are willing to deal and get rid of old baggage. Trade Tyrus Thomas and Maggette for anything you can.

There really aren't many good point guards to choose from this year, especially compared to last year, and the Suns would be better off buying a replacement for Steve Nash with some of the 35 mil they should have available, rather than gambling on Kendall Marshall, who is not really a scorer. It would be safer to draft a different position, like Meyers Leonard at center, who can replace the terrible Robin Lopez at backup center. All the best PGs the Suns have ever drafted (with the exception of Rondo who they stupidly traded right away) were purchased, not drafted - even Nash was technically bought back bought because he was traded to the Mavs who he played for for a period of time. Kevin Johnson, the previous great PG came from another team. I know all these guys are experts, but even they would admit that drafting one of these mediocre PGs could one of the riskiest draft choices to make.

"cavs should talk to prtland about trading their 4 and 24 for ports 6 and 11. we then draft harrison barnes (PJ3 if barnes not available) then jeremy lamb or a big like moultrie or leonard. if things go as i hope then we have lineup of

1. kyrie irving
2. jeremy lamb
3. harrison barnes
4. tristan thomspon
5. anderson varejao
that is a playoff bound lineup and a future championship contending lineup "

Please Basketball Gods don't let that crap happen!! Lock this draft in place now! How could anyone want Lamb and Barnes over Beal and Harkless . . . Wow Beal's shooting is so much better than Lambs and Harkless's ceiling is twice that of Barnes. Don't lower the bar.
