Where will Kevin Love and Russell Westbrook go in the NBA Draft?

Alright, next time I hear someone say Russell Westbrook wasn’t on any draft boards at the beginning of the season, I’m going to slap them.

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. That’s a few months before the season begins no? NBADraft.net is where I’ll start looking at mock drafts, thank you very much.

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

NBADraft.net has Russell Westbrook going 12th and Kevin Love 13th:

DraftExpress.com actually has Love higher than Westbrook, with Love going 8th and Westbrook going 13th:

NBAMock.com has the same projection as Draft Express:

So what does this all mean? Absent the NBA going broke between now and June, Westbrook and Love are gone. Love said he’d say as long as he’s in the lottery…which he’s guaranteed…and Westbrook said he’d stay if he was top 20…which is guaranteed. Even if Westbrook’s shot isn’t consistent in the workouts, his upside is off the charts and that alone will keep him in the top 20.

Josh and Luc are coming back. I wouldn’t worry about them. Shipp is going to have a great year next year. As Howland reminded us, this is going to be his first summer where he can actually practice instead of rehabbing his hip. I’ll have another update next week.
