The week leading up the the NBA draft is what I like to call #smokescreenszn. It’s the time of the year where teams go into misinformation mode, looking to throw everyone off their tracks by disguising the scent of who they’re really after on draft night.
This makes the days leading up to the draft a time for discernment, not only in what you’re reading, but who you’re reading. In saying all that, however, looking at a variety of mock drafts can give you a sense of what types of players the analysts believe teams will take if not who they actually will select.
