    Mock Draft, Version 1.0

    Originally Published: March 20, 2012

    By Chad Ford | ESPN.com

    It’s time for our first mock draft of 2012.

    Although very little is set in stone at this point — the draft order will change, players’ stocks will change and we won’t know which underclassmen have officially declared for the draft until the April 29 deadline — we can focus on what each team would likely do with its pick.

    (If you want to see what your team would do with the No. 1 pick, play our Lottery Mock Draft, which has more than 2,000 scenarios. Also check out our Top 100 list, which is a reflection of the consensus of NBA scouts and GMs about a player’s relative draft value.)

    Here’s our first stab at the first round, after taking into account team needs.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Next Five In: Tony Mitchell, North Texas; Royce White, Iowa State; BJ Young, Arkansas; C.J. McCollum, Lehigh; Josh Smith, UCLA.

    I’ve always felt that this site does a much better job scouting than Chad Ford does, although I do think that having the MSU kid and the Illinois kid in the lottery is a bit of a stretch

     Cody Zeller and Jeff Taylor in the 1st round would make me a very happy Cavs fan.

    That is a really bad comparison. Green is a SF and I can see the Heats taking Fab Melo with that pick. They dont need another winger player.

    if we got Cody Zeller and Jeff Taylor out of this draft. That means we according to this Ford mock passed on PJ3 or Lamb with top pick and Dion Waitors with second pick. There is no way Zellers is only two spots worse than Drummond. I would give the other pick to move up. Waitors can shoot and drive and though undersized height wise he is tough as he!! How would you stop him and Kyrie driving. Guys who can get all the way to the rack are rare, Kyrie is showing that. I would prefer Rivers at 8 than Zeller. I like Zeller but B Scott was best with Chandler in NO and Zeller cannot block NBA shots. He is skilled but C’mon Son. Im starting to think Austin Rivers is not overated because everyone who gets paid to rate NBA prospects has him rated so low. He may not be as good as Curry but is better than Ferdette and a top 16 pick.
