With the 2013 NBA Draft just about to begin in approximately one hour, here’s a Mock Draft I’ve whipped up. With no real “sure fire” first-overall pick this year, this is as open as a draft as we’ve ever seen. Although there may not be any franchise pillars in this draft, it has depth, and can very well produce a ton of respectable players in this league. Check it out!
Please Note: (Due to my lack of time however, I wasn’t able to come up with a write up for each player. If you have any comments or questions, feel free to comment!)
