We used ESPN’s lottery machine to randomize the order for this mock draft. Of course the Lakers took No. 1.

29. San Antonio Spurs - Justin Patton, C, Creighton

Patton is late blooming center who turned into a potential first-rounder after a redshirt season. He moves well for a big man and should make defense his calling card.

Man all these mocks have us drafting big men. They must think we're moving LMA or something.

Man all these mocks have us drafting big men. They must think we're moving LMA or something.

Or they think that a) Every rotation big but LMA can become a free agent this summer or b) No big currently on the roster is signed past next season. This is the year for the team to take a decent-upside big who needs a year of development in Austin.

29. San Antonio Spurs - Justin Patton, C, Creighton

Patton could easily go 15 spots higher than this, which means of course he’ll slip to the Spurs.
