Draft day is finally upon us, and that means final adjustments are being made to mock drafts everywhere. There's plenty of intrigue at the top of the draft, with the Cleveland Cavaliers still unsure of what direction they're going to go with the No. 1 overall pick.
NBA mock draft roundup: Nerlens Noel the likely top pick, but no consensus
Draft day is here, and the Cavaliers are still unsure of who to draft No. 1 overall. Most mock drafts still project Nerlens Noel to be the top pick, but Alex Len is also getting love.
The Cavs have aggressively shopped the pick, but no deals have come to fruition. Kentucky’s Nerlens Noel (scouting report) is still the projected top pick in many mocks, but he’s not a consensus by any means. Maryland’s Alex Len (scouting report) is getting some love as well, despite the fact that he’s dealing with injury problems like Noel.
There are a few other interesting things to watch for at the top of the draft. One is whether Kansas’ Ben McLemore (scouting report) or Indiana’s Victor Oladipo (scouting report) will be the first shooting guard taken. McLemore has seen his stock drop a bit due to poor workouts, while Oladipo is generally loved by NBA executives. However, McLemore is still projected ahead of Oladipo in most mocks.
Another choice to watch is the Washington Wizards at No. 3. Many think the Wizards will take the local product in Georgetown's Otto Porter (scouting report), but UNLV's Anthony Bennett (scouting report) is also in play. Porter is the safer pick and seems like a great fit for Washington, but nothing is guaranteed.
