NBA Mock Draft 2014: Combine Edition
By Josh Hill
In this edition of the mock draft we simulated the lottery and the Utah Jazz emerged with the No. 1 pick. A new development that we hadn’t seen in previous simulated lottery drawings is that the Denver Nuggets won the NO. 2 pick and the Philadelphia 76ers leaped the Milwaukee Bucks to round out the Top-3.
Here’s a look at what the NBA Draft might look like if this scenario plays out.
