Chad Ford's NBA mock draft 2.0: Shabazz Muhammad to Pistons

Stephen Dunn

1. Orlando Magic - Nerlens Noel

2. Charlotte Bobcats - Ben McLemore

3. Cleveland Cavaliers - Otto Porter

4. Phoenix Suns - Victor Oladipo

5. New Orleans Pelicans - Trey Burke

6. Sacramento Kings - Anthony Bennett

7. Detroit Pistons - Shabazz Muhammad

Analysis: The Pistons have had a bit of luck the past few years in the lottery. Every year a player who is ranked very high at the start of the season seems to slide to them later in the draft and somehow fits a perfect need. First it was Greg Monroe in 2010. Brandon Knight slid in 2011. Last year it was Andre Drummond. At times, all three were ranked in the top five with Monroe and Drummond going as high as No. 2. Could it happen again this year with Muhammad? The Pistons clearly have a need for a shooter, and before the season began, many scouts had Muhammad as a top-three pick. He didn't look like one at UCLA, but draft prospects rarely shine in Ben Howland's system.

8. Washington Wizards - Alex Len

9. Minnesota Timverwolves - C.J. McCollum

10. Portland Trailblazers - Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

11. Philadelphia 76ers - Cody Zeller

12. Oklahoma City Thunder - Gorgui Dieng

13. Dallas Mavericks - Dario Saric

14. Utah Jazz - Kelly Olynyk
