Chad Ford released a new mock draft today and Karl Towns is his No. 1 pick, going to the Minnesota Timberwolves to team with Andrew Wiggins and several other young talents.
Ford is among the many draft experts who have Towns over Okafor in the draft, which would be Kentucky's third top pick under John Calipari. UK had zero No. 1 picks prior to Cal's arrival in Lexington; three will tie Duke for the record for most by a school.
Shortly after Towns hears his name called, Ford predicts Willie Cauley-Stein will go sixth overall to the Sacramento Kings. Boogie and Willie in one frontcourt? Yes please. (Assuming Boogie sticks around.)
On down, Ford projects Trey Lyles and Devin Booker to go No. 16 to Boston and 17 to Milwaukee, respectively, before Dakari Johnson becomes the fifth Wildcat in the first round at No. 27 to the Lakers, joining former UK classmate Julius Randle.
