DX's mock and Hoopshypes mocks are run by the same people.
Check both of these out.
Hoopshype and Draft Express are the 2 best sites for mock drafts (beside ours). Look who they have at #11

11. New JerseyTerrence Williams 6-5 SG Louisville / Senior Incredibly versatile shooting guard who plays three positions at the collegiate level. Outstanding athlete with great strength, terrific leaping ability, and [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]a [COLOR=blue ! important]frame[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] that is tailor made for professional basketball. An excellent defender first and foremost thanks to his physical attributes, length and the hard-nosed style of play he brings to the court. Fills up the stat-sheet with assists, rebounds and turnovers. Not a prolific scorer, very inconsistent with his jumper, particularly off the dribble, but settles regardless for bad shots from the perimeter. Doesn’t get to the basket or free throw line enough due to his average ball-handling skills. Comparison: Dominic McGuire Stats: 16.5 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 2.5 apg Rookie season salary*: $2,060,040 Ranking: 4th Shooting Guard / 1st Senior

DX's mock and Hoopshypes mocks are run by the same people.
Slam...their drafts are not the same (DX and NBADraft) ...99.9% sure they have different staffs...Aran Smith(NBAdraft.net) and Jonathan Givony (DX)
Article I read (and will try to post link here) had Chad Ford and Jonathan Givony(DX) talking about this draft...they both said virtually the same thing...(paraphrase) "most teams have not decided who they will pick so we have no clue...we can make a best guess on who we think they might pick but it changes (team) almost daily and most teams draft rooms are split"...
Frankly guys we could have the number one draft board this year because it is a complete "guess" after Griffin...and "mocks" seem to feel the need to reflect the hyper-unknown that the teams feel this year...I think some Seniors in particular (Hansbrough) will be higher than normal because they are a known quantity and too many GMs and Coaches are starting to feel the heat...I think now more than in any other draft I can remember teams might actually pick players (more teams that is) that fit with their "system" rather than from how they project as a player for their team (after a complete make-over...which is never going to happen)...so for me...I can't wait to see this one and I fully expect one of the guys we all agree would help (T-Will, Hendo, or Earl) will be available...but I will not be shocked if one is and we draft someone else...
One of the post was ESPN first cup Monday (I'll link) was a good read on some of the draft hype...read the first post by Howard Beck but whole thing is a good read...

My bad...misread...yea I think those two are the same with hoopshype just posting DX...
if the bobcats get hansbrough i will barf
They're usually accurate, but how many can accurately predict eithe the 'Cats or Larry Brown? I'll bet no one had DJ, and how many of them had him taking Darko? Just wondering...
i would disagree, of course no stats to back it up from past years, because mocks can't predict trades and in this kind of draft (and the money situation of the league) there will be a lot of movement. some of the teams that can't trade down and don't want to take on salary, may just draft international just to avoid paying luxury taxes. plus, i have noticed that national basketball folks (including espn, nba.com and tnt) have no clue about our team. most are still saying mek is a 4. nba tv had us drafting jrue holliday![]()
