This is not a mock draft. This is not the order I think they will or should go. This is simply the guys I like and would want to select — at an appropriate point in the draft, if I were an NBA general manager. Since I don’t enjoy being critical of the players I’m focusing my effort, and wordcount, on the guys I believe in.
If I omitted someone who the general consensus is high on it doesn’t mean I think they’ll be an outright bust or anything that extreme. Most likely, they have some question mark(s) that worry me enough to make me pass.
