There has already been a trade into the top five in tomorrow night's Draft, and there may be more. With the Draft just a day away and with trade rumors flying up in the air, here is the final mock before the Draft.

1. Los Angeles Clippers—Blake Griffin, Oklahoma (6'10", 251): Obvious pick here. 

2. Memphis Grizzles—Hasheem Thabeet, UConn (7'3", 267): Defensive presence who could lead the NBA in blocks this year.

3. Oklahoma City Thunder—James Harden, Arizona St. (6'5", 222): Will make the Thunder a contender in a few years.

4. Sacramento King—Jonny Flynn, Syracuse (6'0", 196): Said to be to picked here. Will be a mistake if they pass on Rubio or Evans for another PG.

5. Minnesota Timberwolves—Ricky Rubio, Spain (6'4", 190) 

6. Minnesota Timberwolves—Tyreke Evans, Memphis (6'5", 221)

7. Golden State Warriors—Jordan Hill, Arizona (6'10", 232)

8. New York Knicks—Stephen Curry, Davidson (6'3", 181): Will fit perfect in Mike D'Antoni's offense.

9. Toronto Raptors—Demar Derozan, Southern Cal (6'7", 211): Will give Toronto a Vince Carter-esque player.

10. Milwaukee Bucks—Jrue Holiday, UCLA (6'4", 199) 

11. New Jersey Nets—Gerald Henderson, Duke (6'5", 214)

12. Charlotte Bobcats—Terrance Williams, Louisville (6'6", 213)

13. Indiana Pacers—Brandon Jennings, Italy (6'1" 170)

14. Phoenix Suns—James Johnson, Wake Forest (6'8", 257)

15. Detroit Pistons—B.J. Mullens, Ohio St. (7'0" 258)
