This sample was generated simply by putting NBA Mock Draft into Google and combing through the results.

Obviously there are faults with this method, as it may let in unreliable sources, but this is about as unbiased a sample as one can get. It's very consistent as well; notice that every value falls well within two standard deviations from the mean.  Assuming OJ can expect to go fifth or sixth in the draft, how much higher could he go if he stays one more year?
