Beaten to the punch!

Damn, I was planning on doing this myself, but NBA.com beat me to it. They have what the call a Consensus Mock Draft, in which they collect the mock drafts from media around the web. http://www.nba.com/features/draft2007_consensus.html

This system is far more informative than someone's speculation about who will pick who; you get a sense for what the league might be thinking. The list ain't bad for someone with a top 6 pick, but it currently looks likely that both Horford and Wright will be gone by then. Here's their current top 8 (I don't much care for any of the players beyond that):

  1. Oden
  2. Durant
  3. Brandan Wright
  4. Tito Jr.
  5. Conley Jr.
  6. Yi
  7. Brewer
  8. Noah

UPDATE: Today they added in rankings from MSNBC and FOX, resulting in this new top 8:

  1. Oden
  2. Durant
  3. Brandan Wright
  4. Tito Jr.
  5. Yi (moves up)
  6. Conley Jr. (moves down)
  7. Brewer
  8. Noah

I think I would buy a Bucks jersey if it said "Jianlian" on it. Nothing beats the Heat/Lakers jersey with "DOOM" on the back, though.
