The 2014 NBA Draft is shaping up to be the most anticipated of the decade. As we inch closer and closer to draft day in July, Basketball Insiders will release bi-weekly full mock drafts from managing site editor Yannis Koutroupis, while other members of the team will give their takes occasionally as well. The first rounds of the full mocks will always be compromised of the top 30 players in accordance to team needs, while the second round will contain solely international prospects and upperclassmen, since typically underclassmen not projected to go in the first are encouraged to stay in school.
The draft order is based off of the NBA’s regular season standings going into January 16. The order also reflects all of the movement involving 2014 draft picks, which is detailed in our draft pick debt section.
