the 2015 NBA Draft already wrapped, but that just means everyone is already looking ahead to the 2016 draft. Here is how I think the draft might stack up, with a focus on where Pac-12 players could go.
1. Denver - Skal Labissiere PF Kentucky
2. Sacramento - Ben Simmons SF LSU
3. Philadelphia - Jaylen Brown SF Cal
One of the best pure NBA prospects to come into the Pac-12 for a while, Brown could be the first Pac-12 player first in ages. He is a wingspan athlete with a complete package of skills that should be a perfect NBA player. The 76ers have drafted some top frontcourt talent in recent drafts so they would likely take the best non-PF/C on the board here and I think that would be Brown.
4. Orlando - Brandon Ingram SF Duke
5. Utah - Chieck Diallo PF Kansas
6. Toronto - Dragan Bender PF Croatia
7. Detroit - Malik Newman SG Mississippi State
8. Miami - Ivan Rabb PF Cal
The Bears are going to have two freshmen superstars in 2015. Rabb is a 6'10 power forward with excellent length and offensive skills that will make him a serious NBA prospect. The Heat are looking to rebuild their franchise so they should do it by taking the best player on the board which would be Rabb at this point.
9. Minnesota - Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk SG Kansas
10. Charlotte - Jakob Poeltl PF Utah
Poeltl could have been a lottery pick in 2015 had he decided to declare, but he made a good decision to come back for another season and polish his game. I think his NBA stock will continue to blow up as a legit seven-footer with great athleticism and skills. Who knows how long Al Jefferson will be in Charlotte and regardless the Hornets need to improve their frontcourt, so Poeltl would be a nice move here.
11. Phoenix - Diamond Stone C Maryland
12. Indiana - Kris Dunn PG Providence
13. Philadelphia - Caris LeVert SG Michigan
14. Boston - Daniel Hamilton SG UConn
15. Boston - Domantas Sabonis PF Gonzaga
16. Toronto - Furkan Korkmaz SG Turkey
17. Denver - Devin Robinson SF Florida
18. Milwaukee - Zhou Qi C China
19. Boston - Demetrius Jackson PG Notre Dame
20. New Orleans - EC Matthews PG Rhode Island
21. San Antonio - Egemen Guven PF Turkey
22. Memphis - Justin Jackson SF North Carolina
23. Washington - Nigel Hayes PF Wisconsin
24. Chicago - Guerschon Yabusele PF France
25. Atlanta - Melo Trimble PG Maryland
26. Clippers - Damian Jones C Vanderbilt
27. Houston - Malik Pope PF San Diego State
28. Philadelphia - Jamal Murray PG Canada
29. Phoenix - Buddy Heild SG Oklahoma
30. Golden State - Jake Layman SF Maryland
