The 2013 NBA Draft will be the last time Commissioner David Stern (right) will read the selections, as he is set to retire. Adam Silver (left) will be his successor. |
The NBA Draft is officially less than 24 hours away, as fans, executives and prospects prepare for the future to unfold. Sixty young men will be picked out of a much larger pool to live their dream as an NBA player. In that being said, here are the sixty players who I believe will hear their name called on the stage whose futures will be changed forever. My analysis of the first round can be found here.
