NBA Draft 2010 | John Wall Picked as #1 Overall by Washington Wizards

It’s just a few days away for the 2010 NBA Draft and the excitement rises as scouts, coaches, team owners, general managers and of course the fans get to witness their favorite basketball players picks get drafted.

The NBA Draft is the annual event of National Basketball Association wherein the teams can select newly eligible basketball players usually from amateur colleges and universities. In recent drafts, a higher number of international players have been selected.

The NBA Draft 2010 is set to take place on June 24, 2010 7:00 PM EDT at the Theatre at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, USA. Coverage is provided by ESPN.

Many websites already have their NBA mock draft for 2010. Order for the first and second selections seem locked. Most of them picked Kentucky Wildcats’ freshman sensation, John Wall, as the 1st overall pick and Ohio State’s versatile junior, Evan Turner, as the number two.

For the third, fourth and fifth order picks, three players are constantly on their mock draft lists, just differ in order. They are Derrick Favors (PF, Georgia Tech, Freshman), Wesley Johnson (F, Syracuse, Junior) and DeMarcus Cousins (PF, Kentucky, Freshman).

The Washington Wizards won the top pick on the 2010 NBA Draft Lottery last May 18. Will the Wizards pick Wall and do the John Wall dance?
