2011 NBA Mock Draft Has New Jersey Nets Taking Travis Leslie at No. 27

2011 NBA Mock Drafts will become much clearer after Tuesday’s NBA Draft Lottery. One bounce of a ping pong ball could be the difference between an instant rise back to playoff form or an extended stay in the division cellar.

Does your team get Kyrie Irving or Derrick Williams or are they left trying to find the hidden star in the lottery? Bleacher Report has the latest NBA Mock Draft picks, including projections before and after the lottery.

The New Jersey Nets have themselves a shooting guard in Anthony Morrow that can shoot with the best of them, but they don’t have much in the way of help at the two position.

Thus, somebody like Georgia’s Travis Leslie would be a good change of pace for the Nets. He can’t shoot much, but he sure can dunk. He might have the highest vertical leap of any player in this year’s draft class, and his overall athleticism is elite.

For the sake of comparisons, Leslie is a lot like Shannon Brown.

Whether or not that’s a compliment is up to you.

Stay tuned to Bleacher Report to follow all NBA Draft Lottery news, including updated 2011 NBA Mock Drafts and immediate reaction and analysis to the updated NBA Draft Order.
