2009 NBA Mock Draft: Mark 3

Okay now that we finally know the draft order (other then the lottery of course) it seems like a good time to do my next mock. The Big names to pull out since last time are Cole Aldrich, Al-Farouq Aminu, Jerome Jordan, Willie Warren, and Greg Monroe; with Jonny Flynn now in for sure. I’ll probably be the first to put John Wall in a mock, but I think he’ll at least try to come out this year even if the NBA tries to stop him. As always team needs are what we look at and this is what teams should do not necessarily what they will do.
