2012 NBA Mock Draft

With the NBA finals done, the attention turns to the draft that will take place this Thursday. Here is my mock draft of the top 10 picks.

1. New Orleans Hornets- Anthony Davis (Kentucky)
This is a no brainer as the long, big man is one of the best prospects since Lebron James in 2003.

2. Charlotte Bobcats- Thomas Robinson (Kansas)
Even though they got unlucky to get the number two pick, Robinson will add some much needed interior strength to a weak Bobcats front court.

3. Washington Wizards- Bradley Beal (Florida)
A scoring two guard is a gaping hole for the Wizards and Beal is a lights out shooter.

4. Cleveland Cavaliers- Harrison Barnes (UNC)
His length and shooting abilities will help the Cavs stretch the floor on offense.

5. Sacramento Kings- Andre Drummond (UCONN)
He is raw talent but Drummond could become a big star in the NBA.

6. Portland Trail Blazers- Damian Lillard (Weber State)
Lillard is not known by many but he is the best point guard in the draft and Portland definitely needs  one with the assumption that Raymond Felton is leaving via free agency.

7. Golden State Warriors- Michael Kidd-Gilcrest (Kentucky)
This would be a steal for the Warriors as MKG is super athletic and a lockdown defender.

8. Toronto Raptors- Dion Waiters (Syracuse)
This guy can score in a hurry and he proved that in college averaging over 12 points per game off the bench for Syracuse last year.

9. Detroit Pistons- John Henson (UNC)
He would complement Greg Monroe perfectly and the Pistons front court would be set for the next decade.

10. New Orleans Hornets- Austin Rivers (Duke)
Already drafting a big in Anthony Davis, the Hornets could get the point guard Rivers and come out of the draft definitely a better team.
