2014 NBA Mock Draft Rivals Competition
The 2014 NBA Draft is expected to be a very exciting one. This draft has been hyped up for years, as it is considered very deep and very talented. Well-known college guys like Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker, international guys like Dante Exum, and shooters like Doug McDermott make this draft one of the more talented in recent years.
MotleySports NBA Draft analysts Michael Schneid and Jordan Rappaport attempt to project how this year's draft will unfold. These two return after Michael correctly projected 4 picks while Jordan got 2 in their 2013 Mock Draft competition.
The "rivals" will attempt to outdo each other again this time while focusing on the draft for various reasons. Michael has to be happy the Knicks have TWO second round draft picks right now, while also praying former Cincinnati Bearcats classmate Sean Kilpatrick hears his name called, more likely in the 45-60 range in round 2. Jordan, meanwhile, will be focused on his fellow Hoosiers. How quickly will Noah Vonleh hear his name called? Will Will "Threehey" Sheehey hear his name called?
Expect a lot of trades, expect a lot of shocking picks. Two of the league's top players - Lebron James and Carmelo Anthony, are free agents beginning next week. So tonight is only step 1 to what will be a very wild and unpredictable off-season.
