No Ceilings

For some NBA fans, this is a fantastic time of the year. The fans of the top teams in both conferences are getting excited about their stars featuring during All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City next month, and they’re getting excited about the slowly solidifying playoff picture and where their teams sit in the standings. For many other NBA fans, though, this time of the year can be pretty upsetting. The teams near the bottom might be duking it out in the tanking races, while fans of slightly-better teams are faced with the daunting decision of cheering for the team to make a backdoor play-in push or hoping that they get lucky on Lottery Night. For those fans (and for the draft obsessives who love watching prospect film even when their favorite NBA squads are actually decent for once), this one’s for you. Earlier this week, we shared V.3 of our BIG Board, covering the Top 60 prospects on our collective draft board. That wasn’t enough for us, though. We simply had to reconvene in our (virtual) War Room to make our own picks for a Mock Draft V.3 as well.
