NBA Draft
This year's draft had many suprises. Some players like Fred Jones and Ryan Humphrey moved way up and guys like Caron Butler,Qyntel Woods and Ron Grizzard moved down. Here is my mock draft that I had before the draft. After the first three picks I did not have much success. Ming,JWill and Dunleavy were obvious picks but after that everything went different than I had expected. But I did do better than nbadraft.net which focuses totally on mock drafts. I was right on 6 of the forst 28 picks while nbadraft.net only got 4 of the first selections 28 correct.
