The NBA Draft is scheduled to take place on July 29th and until then we will do our best to predict where everyone will get selected. Some websites do their mock drafts based on “best player available” but we try to focus on team needs: for example, if a team like Houston already has John Wall at the 1-spot then they are probably not selecting a point guard with the #2 overall pick. Please see our 1st round predictions below and then tweet us your comments regarding what looks good and what might need a re-pick.
