Amico Mock Draft 4.0: Believe it, the time is drawing near

Think about this — the NBA draft is less than two weeks away. Granted, Nov. 18 is a long way from when it’s normally held at the end of June, but it sure beats not having a draft at all.

For some teams and their fans, the draft is about as good as it’s gonna get. It offers intrigue, hope and if nothing else, a reason to buy a new jersey at the team shop. (Or in the age of a pandemic, online.)

This is also the next-to-last AmicoHoops Mock Draft of the season, and the last that only includes only the first round. Without an NCAA tournament and the normal pre-draft workout buzz, it remains tough to gauge who will go where. That includes No. 1 overall.

But here is the latest attempt nonetheless.

  2. Golden State: James Wiseman, C, Memphis
  3. Charlotte: LaMelo Ball, PG, USA

  6. Atlanta: Onyeka Okongwu, C/F, USC
  7. Detroit: Tyrese Haliburton, PG, Iowa State
  8. New York: Killian Hayes, PG, France
  9. Washington: Isaac Okoro, SF, Auburn
  10. Phoenix: Patrick Williams, F, Florida State
  11. San Antonio: Saddiq Bey, SF, Villanova
  12. Sacramento: Devin Vassell, SF, Florida State
  13. New Orleans: Kira Lewis Jr., PG, Alabama
  14. Boston: Aaron Newsmith, SF, Vanderbilt
  15. Orlando: Cole Anthony, PG, North Carolina
  16. Portland: RJ Hampton, SG, USA
