2013 NBA Mock Draft - One Year Early! (Just the Lottery)

14. Dallas – At this juncture, I don’t think they’ll get Deron Williams.
13. Utah – Narrowly miss the playoffs.
12. Portland
11. Denver – That’s four teams from the West just missing the playoffs.
10. Cleveland – Still a year away.
9. New Orleans – Yup, I love the Rivers/Gordon/Davis trio.
8. Phoenix
7. Orlando – Guessing Dwight Howard is gone.
6. Milwaukee – Love the backcourt, but nothing else.
5. Washington – Yuck.
4. Toronto
3. Detroit – Please send offense.
2. Sacramento – Here whether or not the Kings trade Tyreke Evans.
1. Charlotte – Still the worst.

And now, the guess-work on who goes where. As you can see, right now, the 2013 draft looks very, very weak.

14. Dallas – DeShaun Thomas, SF, Ohio State
13. Utah – Michael Snear, SG, Florida State
12. Portland – Mason Plumlee, C, Duke
11. Denver – Jarnell Stokes, F, Tennessee
10. Cleveland – Adonis Thomas, SF, Memphis
9. New Orleans – Tony Mitchell, PF, North Texas
8. Phoenix – BJ Young, SG, Arkansas
7. Orlando – LeBryan Nash, SF, Oklahoma State
6. Milwaukee – Alex Poythress, F, Kentucky (incoming freshman)
5. Washington – Cody Zeller, PF, Indiana
4. Toronto – Nerlens Noel, PF/C, Kentucky (incoming freshman)
3. Detroit – Kyle Anderson, SF, UCLA (incoming freshman)
2. Sacramento – James McAdoo, SF, UNC. Love what little I’ve seen. Length/shot/size/mannerisms kind of remind me of Kevin Durant.
1. Charlotte – Shabazz Muhammad, SG, UCLA (incoming freshman)
