Busting Brackets 2012 NBA Mock Draft 1.0

With the NBA Finals winding down and the NBA Draft just one week away (next Thursday, June 28 at 7 ET on ESPN), Busting Brackets has compiled its first 2012 Mock Draft. Over the next six days leading up to the draft, Busting Brackets will also unveil its Top 60 NBA Draft prospects, ordered with no consideration for what team picks when and who best fits where. In the meantime, here are our projections for the first round of this year’s draft.

Please Note: This list only takes into account college prospects. Evan Fournier (SG/SF, France), who is the top international prospect for the draft, was removed from the pool to account for an additional college spec. Fournier figures to be a late-first round pick in the No. 25-30 range. He is likely to be the only foreign prospect selected in the first round.
