2011 NBA DRAFT PREVIEW

by Tim Scott (June 21, 2011)

Last year, the Washington Wizards drafted John Wall with the first overall pick of the 2010 NBA Draft. Since then, he has lifted the team up from obscurity, and helped them improve slightly.

That's the type of players many teams are hoping to acquire in the 2011 NBA Draft, which will be this Thursday on ESPN. The Cleveland Cavaliers, who are hoping to rebuild after the betraying exit of local hero LeBron James last season, will have the first overall selection (as well as the fourth). Below is the mock draft that I speculate will be the outcome of this Thursday's draft.

1. Cavaliers (from Clippers)-Kyrie Irving (PG, Duke) 

2. T'Wolves-Derrick Williams (PF, Arizona) 

3. Jazz (from Nets)-Enes Kanter (PF/C, Turkey)

4. Cavaliers-Jonas Valanciunas (C, Lithuania)

5. Raptors-Brandon Knight (PG, Kentucky)

6. Wizards-Jan Vesely (PF, Czech Republic)

7. Kings-Kemba Walker (PG, Connecticut)

8. Pistons-Marcus Morris (SF/PF, Kansas)

9. Bobcats-Kawhi Leonard (SF, San Diego St.)

10. Bucks-Klay Thompson (SG, Washington St.)

11. Warriors-Donatas Mantejunas (PF, Lithuania)
12. Jazz-Jimmer Fredette (PG, BYU)

13. Suns-Chris Singleton (SF/PF, Florida St.)

14. Rockets-Alec Burks (PG/SG, Colorado)

15. Pacers-Kenneth Faried (PF, Morehead St.)

16. 76ers-Jordan Hamilton (SG, Texas)
17. Knicks-Tristan Thompson (PF, Texas)

18. Wizards (from Jazz)-Tobias Harris (SF/PF, Tennessee)

19. Bobcats (from Hornets)-Markieff Morris (PF, Kansas)

20. Timberwolves (from Grizzlies)-Bismack Biyombo (PF/C, Congo)

23. Rockets (from Magic via Suns)-Tyler Honeycutt (SF, UCLA)

24. Thunder-Trey Thompkins (PF, Georgia)

25. Celtics-Reggie Jackson (PG, Boston Col.)

26. Mavericks-Justin Harper (PF, Richmond)
