NBA Mock Draft: Pre-Draft Lottery Edition 3.0
By Jacob Rude
2. Utah Jazz – Jabari Parker, F, Duke
Much like the Lakers, the Jazz benefit from a huge jump in the draft and bring in a game-changing perimeter player. Aside from the religious affiliations to the area, Parker is an absolute monster on the court likely the most NBA-ready prospect in the draft. While his ceiling is unsure, he’ll be an All-Star player in the league sooner rather than later.
1. Orlando Magic – Andrew Wiggins, F, Kansas
One year after landing the number two pick, the Magic find themselves with the top pick in an amazing draft class. They appeared to find the gem of a weak draft last year in Victor Oladipo, and now they have a list of can’t-miss prospects, topped by Andrew Wiggins. Long considered the #1 pick in the draft, Wiggins isn’t necessarily a lock, but in this case, makes the most sense. A core of Oladipo-Afflalo-Wiggins will be very scare in the future.
