Where Are The Rest?
The above images are taken from the respective team pages at ESPN.com. Now take a look at them. Do you see how the Celtics don't have any player next to their pick, unlike the other four teams? Boston is not alone, as none of the other teams after #4 have a player listed next to their pick. This of course begs the question, why did ESPN only put players for the top four choices? And more interestingly, where did these particular picks come from? First off, putting Horford at #3 is a recent development in most drafts, and I am not sure that I have seen Yi going to Memphis in any mock drafts thus far. These picks don't match the mock draft of ESPN's resident draft guru Chad Ford either. So what gives? If I had to wager a guess I would say that some intern at ESPN.com decided to flex his own mock draft muscle. The fact remains though, that both the four picks as well as the lack of any others is very strange.
