2016 NBA Mock Draft: Top 10 Predictions
By Keith Rivas
If this 2016 NBA Mock Draft comes anywhere close to fruition, the league is going to be in for a treat with a plethora of potential.
As the 2016 NBA Draft looms even closer at the end of this month, teams are now preparing like crazy for how the chips could fall after the first two projected picks in Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram get called up.
Outside of who the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers select, plenty of teams in the NBA are looking either for the kind of player they can genuinely build around or someone that can have an immediate impact on a rebuild-in-progress.
Looking at the field, plenty of names that will do well at the next level come to mind.
We saw former Oklahoma star Buddy Hield go off for most of March Madness, while ex-Providence player Kris Dunn is expected to be a key player no matter where he lands.

But they have to start somewhere, right?
Here’s a look at predictions for the top ten picks of the first round of the upcoming NBA Draft, starting with Philadelphia.
