With that said, this is the best draft in my opinion in the last five years easy. Teams will be able to draft for need and get great rotation/starting talent in the process.
*Fair Warning: The one thing that all mock drafts have in common is that they are all wrong in some way*
1. Joel Embiid - Clevland Cavaliers
Andrew Wiggins is the best player available in the draft, but the Cavs are looking for size. Expirements in the past to add top talent to play with Kyrie Irving that need the ball to be effective have not quite worked out.
2. Andrew Wiggins - Milwaukee Bucks
No brainer pick for the Bucks. He will provide the excitement needed for the franchise, until he gets traded to a major market in four years.
3. Jabari Parker - Philadelphia 76ers
I am not sold on Parker playing power-forward at 6'8, but he can become a starter with MCW and a healthy Nerlens Noel. This would be a young, exciting team to watch.
