By this point in human history, you should probably know that internet mock drafts aren’t particularly great at projecting talent in terms of long-term value of NBA Draft prospects.
In fact, as Brandon Boyd described at his blog Boyd Meets World, mock drafts create a sort of groupthink that can negatively influence teams by creating pressure to go against their gut — going against their better judgment to select guys that the angry hordes from their fanbase like with limited information.
Nevertheless, these things do help to frame expectations and give us a sense of who might be available for our pick, especially for a team late in the draft that could use a wing in a draft that is relatively deep in terms of wings — teams like the Golden State Warriors.
