Now that we are in the second round of the playoffs, there are 22 teams that are now solely focused on the offseason, the 2014 NBA Draft and free agency.

This season, the NBA Draft has gotten a lot of hype, has a few potential superstars and should be far superior to last year’s draft.

The folks over at Basketball Insiders have released their first set of mock draft. Joel Brigham, Yannis Koutroupis, Steve Kyler and Alex Kennedy each released their first mock draft.

They are split on the top overall pick with two of them projecting the Milwaukee Bucks to select Duke Blue Devils’ forward Jabari Parker and the other two split between a pair of Kansas Jayhawks’ teammates, center Joel Embiid and Andrew Wiggins. Two of the analysts have Wiggins going second overall to the Philadelphia 76ers while the other two project Parker to go second. Finally, three of the four have Australian point guard Dante Exum while Koutroupis, who has Wiggins left on the board, projects the Magic to select him with the third-overall pick.
