Busting Brackets

We’ve reached roughly the halfway NBA season and a little more than halfway through the college hoops season, so it’s a good time for a new mock NBA draft. The best mocks are typically intel-based. While I don’t have NBA intel per se, I decided to use this as a “what would I do?” process, allowing me to write about certain player fits I like. Everyone knows who the top two prospects are in this draft, but after that? There seems to be a large clump of prospects from 3-18 that could ultimately fall anywhere in that range (some with higher ceilings than others and vice versa). As an evaluator, I’m still unsure how I ultimately seeing it all play out. Even in this version of a mock, some prospects went a bit too high or way lower than where they may actually end up going. Nonetheless, here is my updated January mock draft.
