    I think that both list are good but for some reason I feel like Willie Cauley-Stein should be mentioned. I see potential in that young man…

      WCS is going back to Kentucky so they didn’t include him for the hypothetical 2013 draft. I could see him being a lotto pick in 2014 though.

    I think the second mock is more accurate than the first mock. I don’t know if McCollum would go as high as #13 in what is essentially a draft of players from five different classes (high school senior to college senior.) He could rise up draft boards depending on pre-draft workouts, but I haven’t seen him play since the injury, and haven’t been following him since. I don’t even know if he’s back yet.

    But on another note, it is interesting to see Noel going second overall in both drafts, only behind Wiggins. Most people on this website think McLemore is going #1 right now, but these two scouts have Noel ahead of him. A lot depends on the team need drafting #1 overall, but we could potentially see Noel still go first overall even after the ACL injury.

    For some reason I have a feeling there would be more HS players up higher. This class is pretty incredible, and the 2013 draft is pretty terrible. Excited for the McDonald’s game.

    I’d take Randle and Parker over Noel.

    Wiggins, Parker, Randle, Gordon and Andrew Harrison would all go ahead of anyone in this year’s draft for me.

    Gotta agree with usfballer
    Also I think Mario Hezonja would make it to the lottery

    My top 3 would be:

    Wiggins
    Parker
    Randle

    I really don’t think this draft is very good.
