There hasn't been a draft in recent memory with more speculation about who the No. 1 pick will be. Finally, on the day of the draft, we are starting to get a clear idea of who the No. 1 pick might be, as seven of our eight mock drafts have Andrea Bargnani at the top.
To get a consensus as to what everybody thinks, NBA.com surveyed the expert's mock drafts. Using a simple point system*, we determined whom everybody believes should be selected in the lottery (top 14 picks) when the 2006 NBA Draft tips off June 28 at Madison Square Garden on ESPN (7 p.m. ET).
Below is NBA.com's consensus selection, along with the first 14 picks from eight mock drafts.
