Could Josh Harrellson end up being a first-round draft pick? Most every mock draft doesn't list our boy Jorts as a draft pick at all in either round.

But NBA analyst David Aldridge wrote a mock draft based on what he's hearing from personnel directors, general managers and scouts. And yes, he has Josh as a first rounder.

Aldridge says that Enes Kanter will be the fourth overall pick going to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He says the Cavs won't be able to pass up a big man ready to play now if he's still available.

He says Brandon Knight will be the seventh overall pick going to play with Demarcus Cousins in Sacramento. Aldridge thinks Knight might be the point guard and the Kings would move Tyreke Evans to shooting guard.

Here's the best part. We know both Kanter and Knight will be first-round picks. But Harrellson? Yes. Aldridge projects Josh Harrellson will be picked by the San Antonio Spurs with 29th pick in the first-round.

Aldridge said he read in the San Antonio Express News that Pop wasn't thrilled with DeJuan Blair's consistency this season and that nothing gets someone's attention like a first-round pick that plays your position.
