This is simply in order by player ratings. I will put some sort of thought into team need, but some teams might not agree with that. You may make your own mock draft if you please.
Only the teams that did not make the playoffs:
1. Charlotte - Greg Oden 2. Seattle - Kevin Durant 3. Philadelphia - Mike Conley Jr. 4. LA Clippers - Al Horford 5. Minnesota via Boston - Jeff Green 6. Sacramento - Yi Jianlian 7. Charlotte via Memphis - Joakim Noah 8. Portland - Corey Brewer 9. LA Clippers via Orlando - Al Thornton 10. Toronto - Marco Belinelli 11. Indiana - Brandon Wright 12. Charlotte via Denver - Spencer Hawes 13. Houston - Acie Law IV 14. Minnesota via New York - Thaddeus Young
Winners
Charlotte: has 3 top 12 picks and making all those trades for draft picks looks like its going to work out for him. He's going to have a young nucleus of at least those 3 and then he also has 2 remaining picks in the 1st round. It is feasable that Charlotte could have a starting 5 built of all rookies.
LA Clippers: has 2 of the top 9 picks. He also has a great young nucleus and adding 2 top 9 picks will solidify his starting lineup. LA also has San Antonio's pick which could be around #20.
Minnesota: owns Boston's & New York's pick this year. Looks to have 2 picks in the top 14. Minnesota is probably one of the best teams to be set up for next season. He has a winning team already and throw in 2 lottery picks & another pick outside of the lottery and the Twolves should be a real contender next season.
Stay Tuned.
