SECAUCUS, NJ, May 23, 2007 -- The Draft Lottery is over and we now know the order in which teams will be drafting on June 28. Of course, the hype surrounding the class of 2007 has been out of control for a while now. And with only four teams still playing basketball, there are 26 already preparing for the '07-08 campaign.
The Consensus Mock Draft is a compilation of several mock drafts around the web. Now that the order is set, the mocks will begin to factor in team needs, which could create even more fluctuation than we had before. There's not much fluctuation in the top two, though.
Below is NBA.com's consensus selection, along with the first 14 picks from 14 different mock drafts.
Latest Update
June 9:
Added mock draft from Sporting News and a second mock from Sportsline.

Real GM moves Nick Young up to No. 12 from No. 25 and Al Thornton down to No. 15 from No. 12.
In the consensus, Corey Brewer moves up to No. 6 and Mike Conley Jr. moves down to No. 7. Also, Spencer Hawes and Jeff Green swap spots again at Nos. 10 and 11 and Acie Law moves ahead of Al Thornton at No. 12.
