As the NBA combine has come and gone, it is time for the second Thunderous Intentions mock NBA Draft.
The first Thunderous Intentions mock draft rolled out following the NBA Lottery, and the second edition follows now after we have seen a few combine standouts shoot their way up the NBA Draft boards.
With the NBA Draft lottery and NBA Draft combine behind us, we know who has impressed NBA scouts at their initial get together, as well as have the official NBA Draft order.
In this version of the Thunderous Intentions Mock Draft, we will look at who we think each team will select with their pick, some picks are what I would do personally, other picks are just trying to get inside the mind of the NBA teams General Manager ahead of the draft.
Thanks to the NBA Lottery we know where teams are going to be selecting. The New Orleans Pelicans have the first pick, which will unquestionably be Zion Williamson, and some teams who fell out of favor, like the Suns dropping from the second pick to the sixth will be a bit harder to diagnose.
The NBA Combine helped shape some of the picks in this mock draft as well.
This specific mock draft will not feature any trades, each team will select in their allotted slot. Some prospects already have a prospect profile on the site, and we will link those where it fits, but rest assured every prospect in this mock draft will have a prospect profile before June 20th rolls around.
My goal is a nice mix between what I think NBA GMs will do, and what I would do if I was on the clock. Without further ado let’s get into the second TI NBA Mock Draft of the year.
