The Finest NBA Mock Draft The Internet Has To Offer

If Mock Drafts are what you want, we’ll have you covered from head-to-toe starting tomorrow morning. But at least for me, mock drafts are sort of lame. They’re never particularly accurate, and we pretty much just read them as an excuse to think and talk about the draft. Which is fine.

  3. “Zach Randolph made an All-Star team, and now all people can talk about is the fact that he’s a major marijuana kingpin in Indianapolis, which is at least a better option in a dull city than meth.”
  4. “You can be brilliant on the court but light in the pocket protector, and the success of Garnett, Perkins and Rondo speaks to that.”
  5. “His name isn’t real. The man is barely real. You cannot find him with Google or telepathy. What kind of real human being grows up a Clippers fan, unless they’re Andre Miller, who has spent his whole life auditioning for the role of animated sitcom? This is some Bourne Identity shit...”
