NBA Draft 2014: Joel Embiid, Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker top prizes, but what about the rest of the first round?

The NBA Draft is serious business. We're going to do a lot of draft  stuff here. I love the draft. I (and MyLo) went to the combine last year and I was one of the five SB Nation people in NY for the actual NBA Draft, and one of three at the Barclay's Center reporting on things as they happened.

So again, the draft is serious business. And business is booming.

The Utah Jazz are most likely going to hold onto a lottery pick this year, with the exact draft position to be known only later, during the actual draft lottery later on during the playoffs. There is a slight chance that the Jazz will have another lottery pick, but that's contingent upon the Golden State Warriors missing the playoffs. That's unlikely, what's more likely is that they select another pick in the early 20s. So that means that we have to scout the entire first round. Today we'll look at the most recent mock drafts from four of the sites that I actually trust: ESPN, DraftExpress, NBADraft.net, and NBA Draft Insider. Having met Chad Ford, Jon Givony, one of the guys at NBA Draft.net, and tweeted with Kristofer Habbas many times it becomes clear why I trust them. They know their stuff.

As a result, this is a good starting point for us to start our investigations:

As the next few days goes on I'll end up doing my consensus spreadsheet and you'll be dazzled by the overflow of information.

Yes, it's going to get pretty drafty here.
