The NBA is perfect.
Well, not perfect, but as close as any league can be.
The Finals are done, and to keep the momentum going, the league goes right into the draft and free agency.
The draft, which is scheduled for June 23, is one of the biggest nights of the year for fans of the association.
We’ll have you covered here at FantasyPros with a fantasy fallout from the draft, but leading up to the event itself, I’ll be rolling out my mock drafts each week for how I see the event shaking out.
Now, we will see a lot of movement in the draft. We always do. We see teams moving up, moving down and trading out altogether. While it’s easy to identify some of those teams (Hello, Portland, Sacramento, and San Antonio), for this exercise, we are just going to take the picks at face value with the assigned team.
Let’s get to it and I’m sorry in advance for how much I hate your favorite team.
