IAN THOMSEN'S: 2011 NBA MOCK DRAFT
IAN THOMSEN
June 20, 2011
A weak draft grew weaker when several top prospects stayed in school rather than risk coming out before a lockout. But there's still enough talent in the class of 2011 to make a few talent evaluators look like geniuses—at least by 2015, when many of these raw prospects will have adapted to the pro game

SUNS
CHRIS SINGLETON
FLORIDA ST. // SF-PF
Porous Phoenix will be grateful for the 6'9" Singleton's defense, and with Steve Nash passing him the ball (at least for one year), he will be an immediate threat as a scorer.

ROCKETS
ALEC BURKS
COLORADO // SG
A slashing scorer who can also work the boards (20.5 ppg and 6.5 rpg as a sophomore last season), the 6'6" Burks will provide backcourt size when he plays alongside 6-foot point guard Kyle Lowry.
