2013 NBA Draft: Consensus Mock Draft: First Look
With the 2012 NBA Draft out of the way, let's take a very early look at next year's draft class. 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, UCLA freshman Shabazz Muhammad (pictured above), and North Carolina sophomore James Michael McAdoo are all 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.
Here is our first edition of the 2013 consensus mock draft.
