Mock draft: Bogut's the one for the Bucks

SPECIAL TO ESPN.COM

updated: June 28, 2005 | ESPN.com's NBA draft coverage

This figures to be one of the deepest NBA drafts in recent memory. It also should be one of the most chaotic. The first round is intriguing, and there is so much uncertainty starting right at the top, with the argument centering around potential (Marvin Williams) vs. immediate impact (Andrew Bogut).

Plenty of good players will be available in the second round. It makes for a tough time projecting the first round … but here's my best guess (revised after the Portland-Utah trade):

1. Milwaukee – Andrew Bogut
2. Atlanta – Marvin Williams
3. Utah – Deron Williams
4. New Orleans – Chris Paul
5. Charlotte – Raymond Felton
6. Portland – Gerald Green
7. Toronto – Danny Granger
8. New York – Channing Frye
9. Golden State – Ike Diogu
10. L.A. Lakers – Sean May
11. Orlando – Martell Webster
12. L.A. Clippers – Yaroslav Korolev
13. Charlotte – Antoine Wright
14. Minnesota – Andrew Bynum
15. New Jersey – Hakim Warrick
16. Toronto – Joey Graham
17. Indiana – Fran Vazquez
18. Boston – Roko Ukic
19. Memphis – Julius Hodge
20. Denver – Wayne Simien
21. Phoenix – Francisco Garcia
22. Denver – Jarrett Jack
23. Sacramento – Ersan Ilyasova
24. Houston – David Lee
25. Seattle – Rashad McCants
26. Detroit – Luther Head
27. Portland – Martynas Andriuskevicius
28. San Antonio – Ryan Gomes
29. Miami – Charlie Villanueva
30. New York – Randolph Morris
