Sonics Rising gives a run at a mock draft.
I have never done a full mock draft, but being the resident, self-proclaimed basketball expert. I felt compelled to give it a try. A few notes though. I based teams from worse record to best in the lottery and then eliminated playoff teams based on record with the Finals participants getting the last two spots. Winner of course getting the last spot.
I think I have all trades updated correctly.
Please discuss.
