Updated: May 3, 2013.

Team needs and outstanding trades have been taken into account with this mock draft.

  1. Boston Celtics: Kelly Olynyk, 7-0, C, Gonzaga, Jr.
    The Celtics could use a big man inside and the "Dazed and Confused" looking big man made huge strides with his game this year. He is a skilled, but not very physical, seven-footer.


  2. Atlanta Hawks: Mason Plumlee, PF, Duke, 6-10, Sr.
    The Hawks will be going through a roster transition this offseason and will likely take the best available player at this option.


  3. Atlanta Hawks: Tony Mitchell, SF, North Texas, 6-8, So.
    With Josh Smith likely leaving via free agency, the Hawks could use an athletic forward which Tony Mitchell certainly is.

    Atlanta owns the Rockets' pick (via Brooklyn/Terrence Williams trade) from the Joe Johnson trade. Go here to see all of the outstanding 2013 NBA Draft Trades.




  4. Cleveland Cavaliers: Dennis Schroeder, PG, Germany, 6-2, 1993
    Backcourt depth is still an area of need for the Cavaliers. Dennis Schroeder really turned heads at the Nike Hoops Summit, emerging as a first-round prospect.

    Cleveland owns the Lakers' pick (via the Miami/LeBron James trade.) Go here to see all of the outstanding 2013 NBA Draft Trades.


  5. Chicago Bulls: Jeff Withey, C, Kansas, 7-0, Sr.
    I think the Bulls either look for a shooting guard or depth inside, and take the best available of those options. Jeff Withey is a great shot blocker and Chicago loves defensive-minded players. He could help replace what the Bulls lost in Omer Asik last offseason.


  6. Utah Jazz: Gorgui Dieng, C, Louisville, 6-11, Jr.
    With Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap free agents, the Jazz need some options up front. Gorgui Dieng is a terrific shot blocker and has a developing mid-range game as well.

    Utah owns the Warriors' pick (via the Brooklyn/Marcus Williams trade) from the Deron Williams trade. Go here to see all of the outstanding 2013 NBA Draft Trades.


  7. Brooklyn Nets: Sergey Karasev, SF, Russia, 6-7, 1993
    The Nets need depth all across the board and will look at the best available player. Sergey Karasev is a crafty scorer who can really shoot it from distance.




  8. Indiana Pacers: Allen Crabbe, SG, California, 6-6, Jr.
    Drafting a power forward makes sense since David West is in the final year of his deal, but with no four worth taking at this point, a wing could be an option in case Indiana decides to move Danny Granger.


  9. New York Knicks: Mouhammadu Jaiteh, PF/C, France, 6-11, 1994
    Depth inside or a wing would be the best option here, and though Mouhammadu Jaiteh is a project big man, he's worth taking at this point.


  10. Los Angeles Clippers: Steven Adams, C, Pittsburgh, 7-0, Fr.
    The Clippers lack any real depth depth inside. Steven Adams has the ideal size for a NBA big, but still needs time to develop before he'll be ready to be a real contributor.


  11. Minnesota Timberwolves: Lucas Noguiera, C, Brazil, 7-0, 1992
    Having gone with a wing in the lottery, the Timberwolves turn their attention to adding some size inside. Lucas Noguiera has been on scouts' radars for quite some time due to his size and athleticism.

    Minnesota owns the Grizzlies' first-round pick (via the Rockets/Shane Battier trade) from the Donatas Motiejunas trade. Go here to see all of the outstanding 2013 NBA Draft Trades.




  12. Denver Nuggets: Jamaal Franklin, SG, San Diego State, 6-5, Jr.
    With Andre Iguodala holding a player option on his contract and Corey Brewer a free agent, the versatile Jamaal Franklin provides insurance on the wing.


  13. San Antonio Spurs: Reggie Bullock, G/F, North Carolina, 6-7, Jr.
    The Spurs could use depth on the wing or inside. Reggie Bullock has great size for his position and can stroke the rock.


  14. Oklahoma City Thunder: Archie Goodwin, SG, Kentucky, 6-4, Fr.
    Archie Goodwin would add insurance on the wing if Kevin Martin leaves via free agency.


  15. Phoenix Suns: Ricky Ledo, G/F, Providence, 6-7, Fr.
    The Suns add another wing player with plenty of potential. Because he was ineligible, Ricky Ledo didn't play a single game for the Friars this season, but he is athletic and has great size for his position.

    Phoenix owns the Heat's pick (via Lakers/Steve Nash trade.) Go here to see all of the outstanding 2013 NBA Draft Trades.

As a Cavs fan I'm hoping we can walk out with Otto Porter and Gorgui Dieng.

PG: Irving/Livingston
SG: Waiters/Miles
SF: Porter/Gee

C: Varejao/Zeller

If the Mavericks have a chance to draft Michael Carter-Williams and don't, I would be very unset. I would prefer Dallas get a true point guard and Carter-Williams fits that bill. Go after Andre Iguodala in free agency. If you can make Carter-Williams your point, with Iquodala at the 2, That is a backcourt for the next 5 years.

I can see the Cav's doing a few things in this draft.
1. Not taking 4 rookies but bunching picks to move up or for picks in next years draft.
2. Looking more for depth and not stars or even a starter and looking for a small forward in FA.
I would love to see them get
DeShaun Thomas and get Gorgui Dieng.
Thomas may not be a super star but is a hard worker and will fit well with this team.
Dieng is athletic and a great presence on D to a position in need of Athleticism and he may prove to be able to help out at PF to.
This is a draft lacking in Stars but much bench depth this year and good or bad time will only tell.

Walter based on your comments on Cody Zeller the Sixers might as well draft his Father, Fuzzy Zeller.

why is everyone marking down the pelicans to draft a PG at number 5? Vasquez was one of the top PGs in assists this past season. If anything we will draft a SF/SG

Detroit Pistons will take Ray McCallum from Detroit University as a point in the Second Round. They have two picks and he is a hometown hero with huge upside. Dad is also close by to keep his head on straight.

Are you aware that the now official name of New Orleans NBA team is called the Pelicans. It became official the day after the season ended. So if you want to be up to date, in the future it would be correct to call them the New Orleans Pelicans.

I like your first pick for the Cavs but I really feel like they are going to try and draft a Center or bigger PF that can play either positions. I know they just drafted Zeller but I expect the Cavs to either trade or start looking for a new guy to replace Varejao and have Zeller come off the bench. Zeller looked okay at times but unless he adds another 20 or so pounds I don't seem him being able to take the physical NBA game.
