2018 NBA Mock Draft 2.0
January 27, 2018
As Conference play has started to heat up we have seen enough college action to start forming a basis for the mock draft. Lots of guys have made their way onto the board and risen on the board including Oklahoma superstar G Trae Young. MPJ being out for season hurt his draft position slightly, but will not knock him down a ton. We have seen some great play from C DeAndre Ayton and PF/C Marvin Bagley Jr. as well. Some big time risers are SG/SF Mikal Bridges from Villanova and G Lonnie Walker IV from Miami. Later on down the road we will see what guys start to catch some fire as it gets closer to draft time. As of now this is where players stand around the league and it’ll be exciting to see some more movement, as there is tons of basketball to play.
