ARCHIVE: Mock Drafts for the 2005 NBA Draft: June 28 -- DRAFT DAY

The 2005 NBA Draft is TODAY at Madison Square Garden in New York, NY.

  • The first round consists of 30 picks this year.
  • 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.
