With the College Basketball
season winding down and the draft camps starting up soon, it's time to
start talking about who is the cream of the crop. Who is going to be the
first pick? Candidates include High School phenoms like Eddy Curry (left),
Tyson Chandler and college stars like Arizona's Loren Woods, Michigan State's
Jason Richardson and Seton Hall's Eddie Griffin.

Here is the first version
of many mock NBA Drafts to come. The drafting order is based on the records
of the teams at the time the mock draft was written. This mock draft includes
all underclassmen unless a particular player has indicated that he will
stay (Duke's Jason Williams). On the other hand, High School players have
only been included if the NBA has been listed as a possibility for that
player. Prep players will remain on the mock drafts until a solid college
committment has been made. No JUCO players have been included in this first
draft.
NBA MOCK DRAFT 2001 (May 27, 2001) |
These are the player
rankings by position. Again, all players have been included unless that
player has otherwise stated and only those Prep players who have been considering
the NBA are included. These rankings will be updated as things change.
*NOTE:Players are ranked based
on what position they will play in the NBA, not necessarily what they played
in college.
