ARCHIVE: Mock Drafts for the 2000 NBA Draft: June 12

The 2000 NBA Draft will be held June 28 at Target Center in Minneapolis, MN.

  • Many trades are expected which will have a definite impact on the mock draft. Ultimately, any mock draft is determined by what the person believes each particular team needs.
  • Since, I’m not privy to each team’s “war room” on Draft night, my mock draft is for entertainment purposes only.
