2013 NBA Mock Draft: Version 2.0
In our initial Mock Draft, the Top 10 picks were dominated by big men like Cody Zeller, Nerlens Noel, and Mason Plumlee.

UCLA Fires Ben Howland
Nothing lasts forever and UCLA’s Ben Howland just learned that. The Bruins have decided to part ways with their coach after a decade on the sidelines.
