Everyone knows that Mock Drafts are complete guess work, and to limit that guess work you need to do a ton of research and gather opinions from GMs and possibly watch some of the European basketballers play. Since I do not really have the time for this I decided I was going to use all the people that do this for a living. So I gathered data, I took 11 Mock Drafts throughout the Web and through them all in a Spreadsheet. Will the minds of 11 averaged work better than the mind of one? We will see.
Here are the sites that I used: About.com , CBS.Sportsline , CollegeHoopsNet , DraftExpress , ESPN , FoxSports , HoopsHype , InsideHoops , NBADraft.Net , SI , and Yahoo .
If you want the spreadsheet for some reason email me and I will email it to you.
Draft Order by Mean (Average Slot)
How Calculated: Each player was given a point for the draft position they were given in each mock draft. If the player was not listed in the first round for a particular mock draft they were given a value of 35. All of the values were then averaged, and the order was selected on the basis of lowest to highest in the top 30.
