| Prospect-Central: Final 2015 NBA Mock Draft |
Written by: Prospect-Central
To the casual basketball fan & mainstream media; the 2015 NBA Draft is roughly three months in the making. For recruitniks & media specializing in the draft; you're looking at about another three years on top of that. When it comes to PC and the 2015 NBA Draft; you can take those three years and more than double it!
It was in 2008 at the Playaz Spring Fling, when a 6th grader named Karl Towns, Jr. first entered the radar of PC. Three years later, PC was up & running and you better believe KAT would be one of the 1st players featured by the site.
D'Angelo Russell, Emmanuel Mudiay, Justise Winslow, and Stanley Johnson would all enter the limelight together, joining Okafor at the 2010 Fab Frosh All-American Camp. They would go on to have outstanding prep school careers, before ultimately becoming future NBA Lottery picks from the same draft class.
That's only half the players that will be selected in the lottery tonight, but these are the players that will help shape the 2015 Draft class. Of course there will always be some players that slip through the cracks, but they don't stay hidden for long. If you can ball, you will be found one way or another.
With NBA Mock Draft's stretching as far as the year 2019, people can lose reality with just how difficult it is to actually be drafted into the National Basketball Association. On average, there's roughly 538,000 young men playing HS basketball in any given year. That's a lot of dreams that will never come to fruition, because only 0.03% will eventually be drafted into the league.
The NBA is certainly not for everyone, but for these sixty men it's not only about to become reality, it's about to become their way of life. It looks like there's only one thing left to do; time to find out exactly where the journey begins. Prospect-Central's Final 2015 NBA Mock Draft
