2010 NBA Mock Draft

2010 NFL Mock Draft >>>

1. SG Evan Turner – Junior – Ohio State

Turner has had a great Junior year even with cracking two vertebra in his back.  I believe he should be the #1 overall pick in the 2010 NBA mock draft.  He is a very versatile player who can play PG, SG, and SF.  He has improved on his ball handling and passing this year which has helped propel Ohio State to one of the best teams in the nation.  He will need to continue to add strength and improve his outside jump shot.

2. 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.  While at Kentucky he needs to improve on his outside shot as well as his decision making.

3. PF Derrick Favors – Freshman – Georgia Tech

Favors is a big athletic power forward who really attacks the basket.  At South Atlantic High School he averaged 27.5 points, 13.3 rebounds, and 5 blocks per game.  At Georgia Tech he needs to improve on his ball handling as well as his back-to-the-basket moves.  At the end of the season he should be a top draft prospect for any NBA team.

4. SF Wesley Johnson – Syracuse

Before this year not too many people who Wesley Johnson is and what team he plays on.  Johnson had to sit out last year because of his transfer from Iowa State where he won the Big 12 Rookie of the Year in his freshman year.  He is a very long and athletic player who can do a little of everything.  He has a good shot and can also finish around the basket.

5. PF 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 conditions and his desire to play all the time.  He has a tendancy to take possessions off.

6. PF Ed Davis – Sophomore – North Carolina

Davis jumped up the charts last season right before the draft.  Now he is a top 5 prospect in the 2010 draft.  He is a lefty with tremendous athletic ability.  He is a great shot blocker who helped North Carolina to a National Championship.  He needs to gain some bulk and continue to work on his jump shot and low post moves but his upside in this years draft is what teams will be looking at.

7. PF Greg Monroe – Sophomore – Georgetown

Like Ed Davis, Monroe was also a top draft pick last year who decided to stay for his sophomore year and hopefully jump up to a top 3 draft pick.  He has an NBA ready body with a 7′2″ wingspan.  In his sophomore season he needs to play with intensity at all time which he lacked as a freshman.  He is a really good jump shot that he can always improve on as well as his low post moves.

8. C Cole Aldrich – Junior – Kansas

Aldrich will be one of the oldest players in the draft but brings a lot of skills as a 6′11″ center.  He could have gone high last year but this year he should be one of the top centers taken.  He has a great shot and also proved last year that he possess low post moves.  He is not very explosive or quick but he makes up for it with his high basketball IQ.

9. PF Patrick Patterson – Junior – Kentucky

Patterson is a long athletic big man who can extend the defense.  He has really improved on his outside jump shot which has really elevated his draft stock.  He is a great competitor who is a very physical big man but is still very raw on his low posts moves.  There have also been questions about his conditioning.

10. SF Al-Farouq Aminu – Sophomore – Wake Forest

Aminu was another projected 1st round draft pick last year but decided to come back for his sophomore year.  He is an excellent athlete with a 7′4″ wingspan.  In his freshman year he showed good court vision and excellent rebounding ability.  He struggles to create his own shot and doesn’t have much of an outside shot.  If he continues to improve in those areas he will be a top 10 draft pick in 2010.
