Mock Draft Update

NBAdraft.net recently released their new mock draft for 2010. The top ten picks are:

10. Xavier Henry Kansas

9. Willie Warren Oklahoma

8. Evan Turner Ohio State

7. Cole Aldrich Kansas

6. Devin Ebanks West VA

5. Al-Farouq Aminu Wake Forest

4. Wesley Johnson Syracuse

3. Derrick Favors GA Tech

2. Donatas Motiejunas Lithuania

1. John Wall Kentucky

My take: I do believe John Wall is the #1 pick, hands down. Although it would be interesting to see what New Jersey did with the #1 pick since they already have stud Devin Harris. I don't know much about the foreign kid, just that he is big and can shoot, but what else is new? Favors is a top 5. Wesley Johnson made a leap up the draft board after that performance vs. North Carolina. Well deserved, because he is 6'9 and proven he can stroke it. Aminu is another regular at the top 10. Ebanks is having off-court issues right now, so time will tell if that is going to decrease his draft stock. I am a big Cole Aldrich fan, he is the perfect big man, and I do think he is going to surprise a lot of people when he gets his chance in the league. Evan Turner is now a top 10 lock, you post a triple-double in college at a big time program, you go top 10. Willie Warren has fallen out of the top 5, and he needs to pick up his performance this season. He is a lot better than what he is showing. I watched Kansas the other night against Memphis, and you really can't understand how big Xavier Henry is until he stands next to other guards. He is a man among boys.
