![Adam Silver NBA Draft](https://uproxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/adam-silver-nba-draft.jpg)
It’s finally here. The NBA Draft is arguably more fun than the first three quarters of any NBA game, as every team will leave the Barclays Center with a different roster than the one with which they arrived (except probably the Clippers, who don’t have any picks in this draft as of now). At the top, it’s a big man draft, with Karl-Anthony Towns the presumptive top overall pick, and Jahlil Okafor likely to follow. Fellow tall people Kristaps Porzingis, Trey Lyles, Myles Turner, Frank Kaminsky and Willie Cauley-Stein are all likely to be among the first 15 names called.
We tried to predict how the draft will shake out, but we will be overwhelmingly wrong, as most mock drafts are. But that’s what’s so fun! (The secret rule — if you get all 60 picks right, you’re appointed as the new NBA Commissioner — is still in effect.) So meet us down in the comments to poke fun at our missed predictions, pick the best dressed (is Frank Kaminsky the dark-horse candidate here, or just the frontrunner?), et cetera.
