Since the last time we mock draft surveyed three weeks ago, things have changed quite a lot.
With one week before the draft, it is now impossible to fit the words Joel Embiid in his small slice of the Bucks pie chart. Tough formatting times for me.
A few weeks ago, it went like this: Joel Embiid (7), Jabari Parker (7), Andrew Wiggins (6).
Now it looks like this: Jabari Parker (15), Andrew Wiggins (9), Joel Embiid (1).
Naturally, a lot of the previous Embiid picks switched to Parker picks, including from notables such as Chad Ford. And then, Wiggins also picked up some of those old Embiid picks, including from Chris Mannix.
A lot of this depends on the projections for Cleveland at #1 of course, and, Embiid has locked down the top spot in a majority of these mock drafts.
