2010 NBA Mock Draft

2010 NFL Mock Draft >>>

1. Washington Wizards – PG John Wall – Freshman – Kentucky

Wall is a great athlete and hasn’t even played a minute of college basketball and is the top prospect in the 2010 NBA draft.  He has great size and explosiveness for the point guard position.  He is really quick with the ball and can create open shots for his teammates.

2. Philadelphia 76ers – SG Evan Turner – Junior – Ohio State

Turner had a great Junior year at Ohio State.  I believe he should be the #1 overall pick in the 2010 NBA mock draft but the consensus throughout the NBA is that John Wall will be #1.  He is a very versatile player who can play PG, SG, and SF.  He has improved on his ball handling and passing.  He will need to continue to add strength and improve his outside jump shot.

3. New Jersey Nets – SF Wesley Johnson – Syracuse

Last year the Nets drafted center Brook Lopez so I don’t anticipate the drafting another big man.  Wesley Johnson is a very versatile player who has some low post moves as well as a very good outside shooter.

4. Minnesota Timberwolves – PF Derrick Favors – Freshman – Georgia Tech

Favors is a big athletic power forward who really attacks the basket.  He is no doubt a big time player who will work well with Al Jefferson.  He knows how to rebound and finish strong around the rim.  He will have to work on his jump shot but could be one of the best players that come out of the 2010 NBA draft.

5. Sacramento Kings – C DeMarcus Cousins – Freshman – Kentucky

Cousins’ draft stock has been rising all year.  He is a rebounding machine who has a great physical style that will help him on the next level.  He can take over a game down low in the paint.  There are still questions about his conditioning and his desire to play all the time.  He has a tendancy to take possessions off but will be a major boost to rookie of the year Tyreke Evans.

6. Golden State Warriors – C Cole Aldrich – Junior – Kansas

Golden State will be looking to get bigger in the front court.  Aldrich is a true seven footer who has a very soft touch on his jump shot.  He might not be an immediate impact but will add shot blocking and rebounding to a team that desperately needs it.

7. Detroit Pistons – PF Ed Davis – Sophomore – North Carolina

Ed Davis was probably going to be a top 5 draft pick last year.  This year he didn’t have a great year but plays hard and is a very athletic power forward.  He needs to continue to work on his jump shot as well on his right hand.

8. Los Angeles Clippers – PF Greg Monroe – Sophomore – Georgetown

Like Davis, Monroe could have been a top draft pick in 2009 but this year his stock slid a little bit.  He isn’t a spectacular player but is very intelligent and fundamentally sound.  I think he will compliment Blake Griffin who missed his entire rookie season.

9. Utah Jazz (from New York) – SF Al-Farouq Aminu – Sophomore – Wake Forest

He is a freak athlete with a 7’4″ wingspan.  He has a good mid-range jump shot.  He needs to continue to improve on his low post moves as well as his ball handling.  He would be a great addition to the Utah Jazz who needs a player like this to compete with the Lakers.

10. Indiana Pacers – PF Ekpe Udoh – Baylor

Udoh is a very lanky athletic power forward who is a very good shot blocker.  He will also help the Pacers on the boards.  He needs to continue to get stronger as well as sure up his offensive moves.
