NBA Mock Draft 2015: Consensus Mock Draft 6.0 - FINAL VERSION

We're only hours away from the NBA Draft. This is it.

This is the last consensus mock draft of the year. Why? It's because the NBA Draft is today, and most of the scouts, experts, analysts, and draft nerds have put their pencils down. If the draft is the final exam, we're going to know in a few hours which students of the 2015 class did their homework, and which ones tried to bs their way through this last test. We're now up to 41 mock drafts and/or big boards. There were over 2,000 draft positions used on 258 different players this year. And from ESPN to DraftExpress to print sources to web only sources I've done all the hard work to find the Top 100 players by overall consensus. The following rankings aren't where they'll go in the draft, but a tool to see where a player should be, in relation to his peers. So let's get on with it:

.

Top 15:

Player Ht Wt Pos Age Ex College AVG STDEV Mock n = MODE
1 Karl-Anthony Towns 7 0 248 5 19.3 1 Kentucky 1.05 ± 0.22 41 1
2 Jahlil Okafor 6 11 272 5 19.2 1 Duke 2.39 ± 1.00 41 2
3 D'Angelo Russell 6 5 175 1 2 19.0 1 Ohio State 3.00 ± 0.59 41 3
4 Kristaps Porzingis 7 0 220 4 19.6 -- INTL (LATVIA) 4.98 ± 1.74 41 5
5 Emmanuel Mudiay 6 5 200 1 2 19.0 -- INTL (CHINA) 5.22 ± 1.37 41 4
6 Justise Winslow 6 7 229 3 18.9 1 Duke 5.78 ± 1.37 41 7
7 Mario Hezonja 6 8 200 2 3 20.0 -- INTL (CROATIA) 6.61 ± 1.51 41 7
8 Stanley Johnson 6 8 243 3 18.8 1 Arizona 9.34 ± 2.01 41 8
9 Willie Cauley-Stein 7 0 244 5 21.5 3 Kentucky 9.56 ± 2.76 41 11
10 Devin Booker 6 5 186 2 18.3 1 Kentucky 10.98 ± 3.24 41 9
11 Myles Turner 6 11 242 4 5 18.9 1 Texas 11.73 ± 2.14 40 12
12 Frank Kaminsky 7 0 242 4 21.9 4 Wisconsin 11.75 ± 3.07 40 9
13 Cameron Payne 6 2 180 1 21.0 3 Murray St 13.41 ± 3.68 41 14
14 Kelly Oubre Jr. 6 6 204 3 19.2 1 Kansas 14.83 ± 3.14 40 16
15 Trey Lyles 6 10 250 4 19.3 1 Kentucky 15.39 ± 4.49 41 15

I bet some of us know more about these 15 players than they know about 15 random family members they have.

30 Christian Wood 6 11 220 4 19.4 2 UNLV 30.55 ± 7.58 31 30

UCLA's Looney and Wisc's Dekker have both been falling lately.

And thus endeth the NBA Draft, if they decide to scrap all of their work and just use mine.

As an aside, I'd be really happy for some of these guys if they got drafted, even if they don't have a chance to make the team.
