With the NBA Draft right around the corner the folks at FanBuzz decided to make a mock draft of their own featuring writers Raj Prashad, Bo Churney and Ben Bornstein. Ben got the first pick with Bo getting the second and Raj getting the third with them rotating each pick like that (unlike a snake draft). This draft was also done under the assumption that there are no trades made, which is looking highly unlikely right now, but makes drafting a lot easier.
There was a semi-surprise at the top with Ben taking Duke's Brandon Ingram rather than presumptive top pick Ben Simmons out of LSU. There were some other surprises like Gonzaga's Domantas Sabonis getting taken so early and Marquette's Henry Ellenson falling all the way to the Spurs at 29.
Here is the draft in its entirety:

The NBA Draft is on June 23rd and is being held at the Barclays Center in New York. The Draft will likely not look anything like this with the trades that are rumored to happen and with teams having a lot more knowledge about each entrant than we do, but it's always fun to take a guess.
