SportsBet Magazine NBA expert Michael McCabe has constructed the following Mock Draft based purely on data and talent vs team needs. With the Golden State Warrior’s Super Team over the past 3 years the NBA has seen teams draft for immediate impact and need Vs taking the best overall player at their respective pick. It hasn’t worked and I expect that pattern to change tonight. Good luck to all the young gentlemen who are about to fulfill their lifelong dream and enter the NBA.
