Should go/will go to the NBA

Does anyone actually look at mock drafts? I keep reading this guy isn't ready, that guy isn't ready, yet you read the mock drafts and there Bradley and James are in the mid first round with Pittman in the second. So everyone trusts the NFL mocks but not the NBA? Everyone trusts football recruiting rankings which are far less reliable because of a lack of regular national competition, while the basketball rankings are based on years of national competition. Weird. I remember this very board swearing that Aldridge wasn't ready to come out. Now he doesn't even look like the same guy.
 
Full Flask - that post has since been updated. Bradley is back in the first round projection.

In looking at the last 10 years of mock drafts versus actual - there seems to be about an 80% accuracy rate overall - with an average accuracy rating of about 90% with regard to top 10 projections vs. actual. Better than I'd expected. We are talking about a pretty controlled group of data though and a LOT of input.

With a lot of guys still yet to declare, the only thing for sure is James will be top 15 and should be a lotto pick; especially if Monroe doesn't come out. If Bradley comes out, he'll be first round. I think as more and more hype builds, Dex could fall completely off the radar. He needs too much work.
