So immersed in U.S. Soccer or generally enjoying being outside during the start of summer that you haven't had time to research for Thursday's loaded NBA draft? Basketball writer Jared Dubin to the rescue (and earnest analysis here).

Behold, below, Dubin's mock mock but probably fairly accurate rundown on tonight's picks, in which the wrong guy, point guard guy and white guy all get taken in the lottery. See if you can spot where Joel Embiid comes off the board.
