2013 NBA Draft: Consensus Mock Draft: December Update
The NCAA season is a month old, and we've gotten our first look at many of the player's projected to be picked early in the 2013 NBA Draft. Next year's draft looks to be filled with plenty of intrigue, as at this point there really isn't a consensus thought on who will go #1 overall. Kentucky freshman Nerlens Noel and UCLA freshman Shabazz Muhammad (pictured above) are both projected by some experts to be the first name called next June.
Rather than fill cyberspace up with yet another mock draft, The Hoops Manifesto has determined the consensus top 60 prospects for the 2013 NBA Draft. We took the mock drafts from four of the web's best: DraftExpress, NBADraft.net, NBA Draft Room, and WalterFootball.com, crunched the numbers and came up with our list.
