NBA Mock Draft: A post-draft lottery edition.
For NBA fans, Christmas comes in July this year.
With the lottery order determined last week, we now officially know the order of every pick in the upcoming 2021 NBA Draft.
If you’re a Detroit Pistons, Cleveland Cavaliers, or Toronto Raptors fan, you probably feel like you are about to find a shiny new toy with a pretty bow wrapped around it underneath the tree. If you’re an Orlando Magic or Oklahoma City Thunder fan, you probably feel like you were just handed a lump of coal in your stocking.
This mock draft will consist of the first 14 selections of the draft only, and while there will be trades come draft night, I am not knowledgeable enough in the art of tarot card readings to predict the future. As such, this mock will operate on the belief that none of the teams will trade their draft picks (I’m looking at you, Bob Myers).
With that being said, let us get started.
