Over the last three days, the blogs of SB Nation executed a network-wide 2011 NBA Mock Draft, with each blog choosing their prospect at their team’s allotted slot based on the who was left on the board. There were a number of surprises -- including our Wolves blog Canis Hoopus choosing Turkish center Enes Kanter before rumors suggested that was a legit possibility -- and some absurdly thorough explanations. I’d advise you to read through the whole mock to get a sense of why teams’ most dedicated fans love some of these prospects.
