As
we get closer to the 2018 NBA Draft a couple cities can now start to
see the light after going through a dark disappointing losing season
and quite frankly years of struggle. We can now start the debate to
where future NBA Stars like Arizona's DeAndre Ayton, Duke's Marvin
Bagely, and International Star Luka Doncic will land in this year's
upcoming draft. Here at TrueFan we will give educated guesses,
prospect analysis and opinions to where these young basketball
prospects might land in June. Here's my second 2018 Mock Draft.
