The 2016 NBA Draft is just days away! Huzzah! Here’s the link to our latest NBA mock draft.
ESPN will televise the 2016 NBA Draft on Thursday, June 23, at 7 p.m. ET. In advance of what is annually always one of our favorite days on the sports calendar, we crowdsourced the L.A. Lakers selections from our most favorite and most trusted NBA mock drafts on the internet. In other words, we did some mocksourcing.
We also did some feature stories on the elite NBA Draft lottery prospects, and where they might fit in, so to read those, just click the player’s name where highlighted.

Ok, so you have one outlier there. There is a big gap between Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram, just like there’s a big gap between the top 7, 8 or 9 players in this draft, to everybody else.
It’s a very shallow draft this year; that’s just the facts. Ingram to the L.A. Lakers is one idea we explored in detail before, right after the lottery and the combine. To read up about that, go here.
