Quote: | Luca Desta serves as an NBA draft analyst for Babcock Hoops. Bringing nearly a decade of NBA experience, Luca is an integral part of the Babcock Hoops' draft coverage team.
Before joining Babcock Hoops, Luca worked as Manager of Elite Basketball Development for NBA Africa. There he managed the NBA Academy Africa operations on a day-to-day basis and acted as a key liaison with the NBA office in New York and with the Global Elite Basketball Development Advisory Committee. He directly contributed to the formulation and execution of strategies responsible for developing top young African prospects into NBA players.
Prior to working for NBA Africa, Luca accumulated ten years of experience working in the front office for the Dallas Mavericks. Starting as an intern in 2005, he worked his way up to be a scout for the team where he was responsible for evaluating college, international and NBA G League prospects. The major highlight during Luca’s time with the Mavericks was being part of the 2011 NBA championship team.
Along with Luca’s direct experience in the NBA, he also spent time working for prominent sports agency, Comsport, which is based in Dallas, Texas and Paris, France. There he was responsible for client services, college and international scouting, the recruitment of prospective clients and the scheduling of pre-draft workouts with NBA teams for their clients.

I checked out the site he works for and their mock draft has Bol Bol #2 and Rui #6. I haven't kept up with much college hoops or mocks but those don't seem right.
Also, how does a draft site work when it comes to the mock? Is it just one guys mock or does the whole team come to a conclusion? |
