2013 Final NBA Mock Draft
By Jason McIntyre
1. Cleveland – Nerlens Noel, C, Kentucky. I had Ben McLemore 1st until about 11 am. Then this happened. And this. Who can argue with Woj & Vegas?
2. Orlando – Victor Oladipo, G, Indiana.
3. Washington – Otto Porter, SF, Georgetown.
4. Charlotte – Alex Len, C, Maryland. Tweeted a month ago that Jordan loved him. I like him a lot, but the Bobcats will be back in the Top 5 next year.
5. Phoenix – Cody Zeller, F, Indiana. Wouldn’t be stunned with – wait for it – Michael Carter-Williams here.
6. New Orleans – Ben McLemore, G, Kansas. What a victory for the Pelicans if he falls here. He could be a bigger Eric Gordon, just healthier.
7. Sacramento – Anthony Bennett, PF, UNLV. Funny part? There’s a tiny bit of buzz about Bennett going 1st to Cleveland.
8. Detroit –Trey Burke, PG, Michigan. I’m finally projecting Burke over MCW. I still would go MCW.
9. Minnesota – CJ McCollum, SG, Lehigh. As I said on a podcast this week, he’s this draft’s Damian Lillard.
10. Portland – Steven Adams, C, Pittsburgh. Bummer that no quality bigs are available here. LaMarcus Aldridge won’t be happy, since Adams is vastly overrated.
