2010 NBA Mock Draft
2009 NBA Mock Re-Draft
Updated: June 26, 2014.
Team needs and outstanding trades have been taken into account with this mock draft.
-
Milwaukee Bucks: Jordan Adams, SG, UCLA, 6-5, Soph. 
Jordan Adams is a physical off guard and talented all-around scorer. -
Philadelphia 76ers: Jerami Grant, SF, Syracuse, 6-8, Soph. 
Jerami Grant is a great value this low as he has first-round talent due to his athleticism and length. Grant is a big slider in my mock. -
Cleveland Cavaliers: Walter Tavares, C, Spain, 7-3, 1992 
The size is there, but the all-around game is a major work in progress. -
New York Knicks: Jarnell Stokes, PF, Tennessee, 6-9, Jr. 
Jarnell Stokes is a physical presence down low, but he has a nice touch on his mid-range jumper as well. -
Utah Jazz: Glenn Robinson III, SF, Michigan, 6-6, Soph. 
Robinson showed a lot of promise during his freshman year, but he didn’t take the next step with his game in 2013 to warrant being a first-round selection. -
Milwaukee Bucks: Patric Young, F/C, Florida, 6-9, Sr.
Patric Young is built like a house and plays with an incredible motor, but he has shown little development offensively. -
Toronto Raptors: DeAndre Daniels, SF, Connecticut, 6-8, Jr. 
A terrific performance in the NCAA Tournament has propelled DeAndre Daniels to bubble first-round-pick status. -
Detroit Pistons: C.J. Wilcox, SG, Washington, 6-5, Sr. 
C.J. Wilcox is a pure scorer with a pretty outside stroke and good size for the next level. -
Philadelphia 76ers: Dwight Powell, PF, Stanford, 6-9, Sr.
Dwight Powell is a crazy athlete, but he has not truly developed his all-around game. -
Minnesota T-Wolves: Vasilije Micic, PG, Serbia, 6-4, 1994 
Like most European point guards who have made the leap to the NBA, the Serbian has a great feel for the game and is a creative play-maker. -
Denver Nuggets: Spencer Dinwiddie, G, Colorado, 6-5, Jr. 
Spencer Dinwiddie is a versatile combo guard who can get after it as a defender. A season-ending injury during his junior year hurt his draft stock though. -
Houston Rockets: Johnny O’Bryant, PF, LSU, 6-9, Jr. 
A physical presence down low, Johnny O’Bryant could add physicality off the bench. -
Atlanta Hawks: Nick Johnson, G, Arizona, 6-3, Jr. 
The Pac-12 Player of the Year is a combo guard who doesn’t have a true position at the next level. Still, Johnson is extremely athletic and brings plenty of toughness to the floor. -
Minnesota T-Wolves: James Michael McAdoo, F, North Carolina, 6-9, Jr.
Stuck between small forward and power forward, James Michael McAdoo didn’t live up to the hype at North Carolina. Still, he is an intriguing prospect, especially in the second round. -
Charlotte Hornets: Artem Klimenko, C, Russia, 7-1, 1994 
Artem Klimenko is a raw seven-footer who will need time to develop overseas. -
Washington Wizards: Markel Brown, SG, Oklahoma State, 6-3, Sr. 
The Oklahoma State senior can score the basketball, but his size as a shooting guard hurts his stock. -
Philadelphia 76ers: Thanasis Antetokounmpo, SF, Greece, 6-7, 1992
The younger brother of the Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo, Thanasis Antetokounmpo played for the Delaware 87ers of the D-League. Thanasis possesses length and athleticism like his brother, but has fine tuning to do with his game. -
Milwaukee Bucks: Semaj Christon, PG, Xavier, 6-3, Soph.
Semaj Christon is a terrific athlete and at his best attacking the tin, but he struggles shooting it from deep. -
Chicago Bulls: Roy Devyn Marble, SG, Iowa, 6-6, Sr. 
The Hawkeye senior can play multiple positions, and that versatility should be attractive to NBA scouts. -
Phoenix Suns: Jabari Brown, SG, Missouri, 6-5, Jr. 
The Missouri off guard has good size for the next level and can stroke it from deep. -
New York Knicks: C.J. Fair, SF, Syracuse, 6-8, Sr.
C.J. Fair is a versatile lefty who has the potential to be a solid role player at the next level. -
Philadelphia 76ers: Jordan Bachynski, C, Arizona State, 7-2, Sr.
Bachynski’s size alone makes him an intriguing second-round prospect. -
Minnesota T-Wolves: LaQuinton Ross, SF, Ohio State, 6-8, Jr.
A capable shooter from the outside, LaQuinton Ross also has ideal size for the next level. -
Philadelphia 76ers: Deonte Burton, PG, Nevada, 6-1, Sr.
Deonte Burton doesn’t get a lot of national attention having played at Nevada, but he could sneak into the first round. -
Miami Heat: Russ Smith, G, Louisville, 6-0, Sr. 
Russ Smith is a shooting guard trapped in a point guard’s body. That hurts his stock, but he is lightning quick and a fearless scorer. -
Orlando Magic: Nemanja Dangubic, G/F, Serbia, 6-7, 1993
The Serbian is a versatile wing who will need to develop overseas before coming to the NBA. -
Indiana Pacers: DeAndre Kane, G, Iowa State, 6-4, Sr. 
A transfer from Marshall, DeAndre Kane is a versatile guard who does a little bit of everything on the floor and was a huge part of the Cyclones’ success this season. He will be 25 years old at the time of the 2014 NBA Draft though. -
San Antonio Spurs: Khem Birch, PF, UNLV, 6-9, Jr. 
Khem Birch is active on the inside, but his lack of physicality is a concern. -
Toronto Raptors: Joe Harris, SG, Virginia, 6-6, Sr.
The former Cavalier is a sharpshooter, though he isn’t very athletic. -
San Antonio Spurs: Xavier Thames, PG, San Diego State, 6-2, Sr.
The Mountain West Conference Player of the Year is a dangerous outside shooter. However, he is more of a two guard than a true point guard.
