(unfortunately Samaki Walker’s NBA career wasn’t as dope as his draft night outfit)
Now that the NBA actually exists once more, we can look ahead to next year’s NBA Draft. The 2012 edition is expected to be a very deep, talented field as opposed to 2011’s rather weak draft class. But who will hear their name called first by David Stern in June? Rather than fill cyberspace up with yet another mock draft, The Hoops Manifesto has determined the consensus top 60 prospects for the 2012 NBA Draft. We took the player rankings from four of the web’s best: DraftExpress, NBADraft.net, CollegeHoops.Net, and Chad Ford of ESPN, crunched the numbers and came up with our list.
