2011 NBA Mock Draft: How Will Late Risers Shake Up the Lottery?

Wednesday, 22 June 2011

Georgia Tech guard Iman Shumpert may have left the Yellow Jackets as a relative unknown on the 2011 NBA Draft landscape, but is quickly experiencing what ESPN Insider Chad Ford terms a “meteoric rise” up draft boards.

Shumpert, a 6-6 combo guard, is rumored to be receiving looks as high as 13^th overall to the Phoenix Suns and 17^th overall to the New York Knicks. Additionally, the Minnesota Timberwolves at 20^th overall and Denver Nuggets at 22^nd overall are said to be interested in the former Yellow Jacket.

The unexpected rise of Shumpert certainly reflects on mock draft boards. Ford has Shumpert going to the Knicks at 17, Draft Express has Shumpert going 23^rd overall to the Houston Rockets and Sports Illustrated’s Sam Amick does not even have Shumpert listed as a first-round pick.
