2015 NBA Mock Draft: Rounding up after the NBA lottery

As is tradition, and a large part in how I broke into writing for this site, it is time to round up those NBA Mock Drafts. The New Orleans Pelicans will not be picking (barring a trade) until the 56th pick. Not many mock drafts venture that far into the abyss. Considering the Pelicans could trade into the first round at some point (and likely not in the lottery) I have dove deeper than usual, going for the entire first round.

Thanks to the greater depth, I felt it necessary to cut out a number of mock drafts. Also, since Chad Ford's mock draft exists behind a paywall (and I would prefer not to draw ESPN's ire by posting his entire first round) that will be omitted. What we have left is the gold standard of mock drafts from Draft Express, our own SB Nation mock draft thanks to Kevin O'Conner, Sports Illustrated's mock draft from Chad Mannix, and CBS Sports mock draft from Sam Vecenie.

Vecenie once wrote for Fear the Sword and was even a guest on our podcast less than two years ago. Interesting how those "Fan sites" and "Bloggers" end up writing for big national websites. No one tell the Times-Picayune! (Venture into the comments only if you dare, you have been warned.)

Without further ado, let's jump right in. Four mock drafts going 1-30. I'm sure there is a player you are enamored with in the middle to late first round. Should the Pelicans try to trade into this draft? Who would you trade? Let's hear it in the comments!
