2016 NBA Draft First Round Mock With Agents

My friend Michael Schottey just published a mock draft for the 2016 NBA Draft scheduled to take place on June 23. Mock drafts never provide a completely accurate position on where players are picked, especially because teams are prone to trade slots and selections prior to and during the draft. Additionally, it is impossible to get into the heads of general managers and team scouts.

However, mock drafts certainly give us an idea of the players to keep an eye on. Here at Sports Agent Blog, we want you to know who those players are and the agents they have retained for representation.
