Ricky Rubio is not a lock to go to Memphis but it is possible. If they pass on the Spaniard it is unlikely Oklahoma City will select him to share minutes with Russell Westbrook. Chad Ford’s first mock draft on ESPN argues that it is possible. However, it seems impossible he will slip past Sacramento at four.

NBADraft.net figured out that Russel Westbrook was going to be a badass before everyone else apparently. They projected him to be a first round pick IN AUGUST.

Here are the projections from NBADraft.net, DraftExpress.com, and NBAMock.com
