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.

Best mock draft yet for Cleveland. Though I think it would work better for Cleveland if they draft:

1a. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist SF Kentucky
1b. Terrence Ross SG Washington
2a. Fab Melo C Syracuse
2b. Dreymond Green PF Michigan State

Starting for Cleveland:

PG: Kyrie Irving
PF: Anderson Vareajo
PF: Dreymond Green
SG: Terrence Ross
C: Fab Melo

Bench:

F: Tristian Thompson

anthony davis is a great defender but limited offensively. when we look back 4 years from now the best player from this draft will be harrison barnes. plays similar to grant hill when he was with the pistons. has great size 6'8 230lbs with the ability to play great on both ends of the court.within 2 to 3 years barnes will be a 24ppg 8rpg 4apg player in the nba and be in multiple all star games.

I think Zeller is a good fit for Milwaukee. Ekpe Udoh and Larry Sanders are both defensive minded centers and Sanders was a shot blocking machine at the end of the year last year. They need a scorer down low and Zeller fits that mold

Best big man since Bill Russell? Better than Wilt Chamberlain? Better than Kareem? Better than Moses Malone? Better than Hakeem? Better than Shaq? Better than David Robinson?

He might be better than Dwight and Bynum, but your calling him the best Center EVER. Get real man

It's funny that the DETROIT team is mocked back to back Ohio St players.

It's amazing that someone who writes for a paper in DC can co a mock where the biggest need for the Wizards, SF, is ignored for a lesser player at a position that already has a starter.

If the Wiz draft 2nd and it's someone other than either Davis or Kidd-Gilchrist, then the entire management should be fired. MKG + Chris Singleton would be a nice SF rotation and would solidify the starting lineup along with Wall, Crawford, Booker and Nene with guys like Mack, Vesely and Seraphin off the bench.

Way to put an international player that didn't even declare in the mock. Good job paying attention to detail.

If Cleveland gets the first overall pick, there going to take Anthony Davis no question about it. How coul you pass on the best big man since Bill Russel? The Cavs could trade Tristan Thompson for a wing player or possibly a draft pick.

@Owebama

But if they're going hard after Deron Williams (which they should do) they won't have a lot of leftover money to throw around.

Even if the Cavs get the #1 pick I would love them to trade the pick to Portland or Utah. We need more then 1 player to get the ball rolling. I would like to c Barnes SF Lamb SG Melo C Green PF Taylor PG starters. N bench players

Golden state drafting PJ3 completely goes against the teams draft stategy. They always try to draft guys that no one will remember 5 years after their selection. I like Moultrie or Leonard with the 7th pick.

@Vince, Bynum will be available. Two birds with one shot, get your big man and weaken Lakers.

I think the Mavs absolutely HAVE to get a big man this year. John Henson (isn't available in this mock), Meyers Leonard, or Fab Melo in the first round would all be good picks. If they feel they can wait on one, they MUST take one in the second. They missed Tyson Chandler more than anyone else this past year.
