Some drafts come attached with an aura of greatness, when all die-hard NBA fans know they are witnessing history in the making (1984, 2003). Other drafts kick things off with an amazing start, then fall apart faster than the 2007 Mets (1982, 1992).

With the draft less than a month away, we're coming down the home stretch beginning with the summit meeting that is the NBA pre-draft camp. Although this event has little impact on the first round, it has a huge impact on the second round as well as determining a few of the late first rounders.

With today's lottery, the selections are now set for the 2008 NBA draft. So without further ado, here's how we see the first 14 picks of the draft playing out, for now...
