NBA Mock Draft 2018: Marvin Bagley Bulls, Michael Porter Celtics

The injury to Missouri’s Michael Porter has thrown most 2018 NBA Mock Draft’s entirely out of whack as Porter is sliding down boards in fear that he could have an injury-plagued NBA career. Most mocks, including this one, has Marvin Bagley sliding in as the new No. 1, but NBADraft.Net recently had Arizona center DeAndre Ayton going ahead of Bagley at the top.

The Bulls seem hell-bent on landing the No. 1 pick this season and the Celtics are still hoping the Lakers pick (via the Philly Markelle Fultz trade) lands somewhere between No. 2 and 5. It’s entirely possible that Porter could slide to the Celtics if that’s the case. While the Celtics already have two young small forwards who could very well blossom into bona fide NBA All-Stars, the 3 is the one position where you can never have enough talent.
