NBA mock draft: Is Anthony Davis destined for Charlotte?

We’re heading into March, a critical phase for NBA scouts and general managers evaluating draft prospects. Here’s how the June 28 NBA Draft may shake out. All but Tyler Zeller are underclassmen who have yet to officially decide whether to enter the draft.

1. Charlotte Bobcats. Anthony Davis, PF, Kentucky. Hard to imagine this changing much. No matter which team gets this pick, Davis is the overwhelming favorite.

2. Washington Wizards. Harrison Barnes, SF, North Carolina. The Wizards need to start putting quality pieces around point guard John Wall, and Barnes is a mature, polished wing man who can shoot the 3. The Wizards did use the No. 6 pick on Jan Vesely last year, but Barnes would be tough to pass up.

3. New Orleans Hornets. Thomas Robinson, PF, Kansas. The Hornets are looking for a star-quality point guard to replace Chris Paul, but they won’t get him at this point in the draft. They are starting undersize Carl Landry at power forward, and Robinson would be a long-term upgrade.

4. Toronto Raptors. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, SF, Kentucky. The Raptors have collected some good young talent, but they’d like to continue to toughen up defensively (as well as get James Johnson out of the starting role), and MKG fits with that mission.

5. New Jersey Nets. Andre Drummond, C, Connecticut. Who knows what will happen with the Nets between now and the draft, but if Drummond is still on the board, and the Nets have not acquired Dwight Howard are still picking here, he will be a no-brainer. Brook Lopez can play power forward.

6. Detroit Pistons. Jared Sullinger, PF, Ohio State. If the Pistons keep winning, they’re going to find themselves out of range for the elite players in this draft. But they’d gladly scoop up a power forward of Sullinger’s caliber.

7. Sacramento Kings. Perry Jones, SF, Baylor. The Kings are in desperate need of a point guard, and given the lack of that position in this draft, there’s a chance they could make a deal with this pick. Jones is risky, but he fills a need.

8. Cleveland Cavaliers. Bradley Beal, SG, Florida. Scouts love Beal’s shooting form, even as he has struggled as the season has gone on. The Cavs would like to add a perimeter threat to spread the floor for Kyrie Irving, and Beal fits that bill.

9. Phoenix Suns. Austin Rivers, SG, Duke. The Suns figure to begin rebuilding in earnest next year, and a tough perimeter threat to go with center Marcin Gortat would be a good start.

10. Milwaukee Bucks. Jeremy Lamb, SG/SF, Connecticut. The Bucks have tried for three years to find a wing threat to take pressure off point guard Brandon Jennings—John Salmons, Corey Maggette, Stephen Jackson. This draft could provide the solution.

11. Utah Jazz (1). Terence Ross, SG, Washington. The Jazz are stacked in the frontcourt, but they need to remake their backcourt. This draft will provide that chance, and Ross, at 6-7, could finally be the shooting guard the team has struggled to find.

12. Utah Jazz. Kendall Marshall, PG, North Carolina. This spot might be a stretch for Marshall, but considering the lack of point guards and Marshall’s playmaking ability, this would be a good fit.

13. Denver Nuggets. Tyler Zeller, PF/C, North Carolina. If the Nuggets wind up in the lottery, they will most likely look for a polished player who can help immediately, especially in the frontcourt. Zeller can do that.

14. New Orleans Hornets (2). Damian Lillard, PG, Weber State. This might seem to be a stretch for Lillard, but he is the nation’s second leading scorer, and the Hornets are eager to get a young point guard.

(1) From Golden State, if the Warriors’ pick is outside the top seven.

(2) From Minnesota.
