    What one do you think is more accurate? I used to think they were both pretty close. But lately I have been looking at draftexpress and wondering, WTF are these guys thinking?! They have some ridiculous predictions!!!

    I go with draft.net and even ESPN before draftexpress.

    BTW, draft.net has Earl Clark falling to the Mavs at #24... I would rather have him then DuJuan Summers at #22!!!!!

    People rip on nbadraft.net but, and maybe I'm out to lunch, I think their mocks have been better for the past couple years.

    DraftCity/DraftExpress has an insane amount of content.

    DraftExpress hands down, Jonathan Givony knows his stuff.

    DX for me. Giovani seems to know what he's talking about

    DX has much more to offer than just a basic scouting report, and they have the resources to actually go out to do some field-scouting. Don't think .net does.

    DX for actual mock and news/interviews, but I like the player profiles in nbadraft.net much better. I clicked on a team profile on DX and is was from 2005!

    Draft.net updates so infrequently and brings little else to the table, other than a nice looking mock IMO. You can really tell DX has some knowledgeable scouts out there, as they're talking about prospects 2-3 years down the line sometimes. They're coverage of Europe is also pretty thorough.

    Didn't DX absolutely just nail like 1-14 last year?

    draftexpress no doubt. nbadraft.net used to be the cool site like 10 years ago, but others have popped upand have blown them out of the water.

    Both mocks were updated at 7:30, about 30-mins before the first pick.

    NBA Draft.net: 10/30 first round.
    DraftExpress.com: 14/30 first round.

    Looks like DE got the win this year.

    While I have always prefered DX, I have lately begun to wonder if they are over-extending themselves. I have been burned twice recently quoting their info. (eg that Claver had a knee injury when it was apparently his ankle)

    DX for me.

    NBAdraft.net did start it all, though.

    I tied for 39th in the NBA.com Draft Pick Em'

    It was disappointing. It came down to the 13th pick, because I knew that Earl Clark was definitely going to the Suns. If I got the 13th pick correct, I would have been 1st overall.

    I had the Pacers taking Ty Lawson at 13.

    David Stern comes up to the podium, "With the 13th pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, the Indiana Pacers select Ty..."

    I win! I win. The Pacers take Ty Lawson 13.

    BOO!!!!!
