The discussion centers around Utah's Andrew Bogut and Marvin Williams of North Carolina. But to get a consensus as to what everybody thinks, NBA.com surveyed the expert's mock drafts. Using a simple point system*, we determined whom everybody believes should be selected in the lottery (top 14 picks) when the 2005 NBA Draft tips off June 28 at Madison Square Garden on ESPN (7:30 p.m. ET).
Below are the first 14 picks from seven mock drafts, along with NBA.com's consensus selection.

The player with the highest point total represents the top overall selection. The mock drafts above were conducted before the early entry withdrawal deadline and may change. |
