NBA Draft: Final 2018 Mock of Picks No. 1-32

Just As Unpredictable
The rebuild may be underway as the Hornets shipped out Dwight Howard yesterday to take on terrible money in Timofey Mozgov. They could opt to take Collin Sexton here as a Kemba trade seems inevitable, but Knox is a popular riser among experts as Draft Night approaches.
The Clippers have met with Williams multiple times. He just makes sense as the DeAndre Jordan replacement. Jordan is most likely headed out the door this offseason with no Blake Griffin or Chris Paul or Doc Rivers holding him hostage.
Robert Williams goes at 12 because the Clippers know they want him. There may be potential for someone to trade up here at 13 to take Sexton, such as Atlanta trading 19 and 30 to get their future point guard. If not a trade for Sexton, he is a good fit for the Clippers as well.
Will Barton declined a contract extension, leaving a void for a scoring guard off the bench behind Gary Harris. Lonnie Walker could be a Donovan Mitchell type steal at the end of the lottery for Denver. They can get the same kind of production for cheaper by taking a potential 20 point per game scorer.
