The Kings Beat

It’s mock draft time! In a change from past years, we are trying something new when it comes to the first few versions of the Mock Draft. Instead of shooting darts at a dartboard early on in the process, we are using a consensus list from Brett Huff, who has been refining his process for the last five or so years. We’ll start with a top 15 and then build from there. As we move past the lottery and approach the June 23rd NBA Draft, the Mock Draft will adjust and shift toward projecting the actual draft itself. Since we’re only starting with the top 15, we’ll call this The Kings Beat Mock Draft 0.5. Here is how the draft board lays out as of April 24. Expect plenty of changes between now and draft night.
