Lazar in 7 of 10 new Mock Drafts - between 37th and 57th in those

[auburnmu]

To try to get a unbiased sampling, I simply Googled "mock nba draft 2010" and went through them in order until I had 10 mock drafts that met the following criteria:

1. listed two rounds, and 2. were updated within the last couple of days. 

Lazar was picked in 7 of the 10 drafts, ranging from the 37th pick to the 57th pick.  My only question is, I still don't see many European players on the boards.  Is there any reason to expect that at some point in the 2nd round teams just start taking European players like last year?

Thanks for looking all those up.

Don't know if there is much to this, but if teams are thinking of giving out all of these max contracts this off-season, it could be an all right year to be a free agent if Lazar does not get picked.  If the Heat, for example, sign 2-3 max deals, someone probably has to make the minimum since the salary cap is $56 million-ish.  I think Lazar will be all right. 

If teams with lots of max players are going to go for it this year, they also might want more proven players who contributed consistently in college rather than an unknown. 

Who knows?  A lot of teams cleared space and a lot of players are going to get max deals or lots of money who do not deserve it necessarily.  Someone has to make the minimum on those teams.

37th to Golden State - he could be a Warrior again!

This site is garbage.  It has Sacramento with the first pick (Washington has it).  It has Motiejunas still in the draft (he pulled out before the June 15 deadline).  And the Bucks have 15, 37, 44, and 47 (this draft has them at 10 and 40).
