from http://www.proexposure.com/ MOCK DRAFTS Who Gets it right . . and who doesn’t Are Mock Drafts meaningless ? If they are it seems everyone except the NBA Scouting Department has one. Who’s the best ? We jotted down the pre draft picks of some of the prognosticators to see how they faired against one another – seems fair – they keep score and standings in the league. All those listed selected either 11, 12, or 13 of the correct players in the lottery (the most prominent misses were Jrue Holiday, Ty Lawson, James Johnson, Jeff Teague, and DeJuan Blair) but who got them in order ? In our unscientific study we gave 14 points for getting the top pick correct (which everyone including the Clippers did) 13 for the second, and so on.
