The 2019 NBA Draft is soon approaching this Thursday, 20th at its usual location in Brooklyn at the Barclays center.
There has not been much fanfare as it is considered a weak draft after the consensus top 2 picks in Zion Williamson and Ja Morant .
Every draft is always filled with at least 3 unforeseen caliber players and one MVP level type player who is drafted outside the top 5.
This year will be no different as most of the players who will go in the first rounds have similar if not equal NBA potential.
As the league evolves, we are seeing more emphasis on players succeeding primarily due to their teams having a solid development program rather than solely on their draft position.
Finally, as with each Mock NBA Draft… We try to predict what selections each NBA GM will make rather than listed where we would like players to go.
