2016 NBA Mock Draft (Version 1)

The NBA Draft is just over a week away and while my thoughts are still on the NBA Finals, here's the initial stab in the dark at predicting what the Draft will look like.

Before I get to the Mock Draft, how about LeBron last night?  I have been a critic of him for years and a lot of that criticism is based on him not playing to the level he did last night at a more consistent rate.  His shooting, decision making, and rebounding were incredible last night and he has extended the series to a Game 6.  I do believe Draymond Green's return for Game 6 will spell doom for Cleveland in this series but James' performance last night was a thing of beauty.
