The Chicago pre-draft camp will be a major factor for a player's draft standing. So, with the camp still a few weeks away (June 5-9), ESPN.com is ready to unveil it's first of three Mock Drafts (the second will be June 11 after Chicago, and the third on June 26, the day before the draft).

1. Washington – Eddie Griffin, Fr., Seton Hall

Forget about the attitude problems. Griffin still led the nation in blocked shots and was fifth in rebounding. He's a low-post scorer and a 3-point threat. Michael Jordan and Co., could be the perfect crew to aid in his maturity. The Wizards can't afford to keep a high school player and could opt for Duke's Shane Battier, but Griffin could contribute next season. This pick could be packaged in a trade, too.

2. L.A. Clippers – Eddy Curry, Thornwood HS (Ill.)

If the Bulls had won the lottery, Curry could have been the top pick. Michael Olowokandi hasn't worked out as well as the Clippers hoped and Curry would fit in with the Clippers' youth movement. He needs time to mature, but he's physically ready to make something happen in the NBA. Coach Alvin Gentry has done a nice job with the younger talent, thus far.

3. Atlanta – Shane Battier, Sr., Duke

This would be the Hawks' dream situation. They have made it known that they want Battier or will trade the pick. The Hawks don't want another young player after drafting DerMarr Johnson. Picking Battier, the most complete and ready player in the draft, would fit in nicely with the Hawks after the trade for Theo Ratliff and Toni Kukoc. Hawks coach Lon Kruger loved second-round pick Hanno Mottola last season and wants a proven college player.

4. Chicago – DeSagna Diop, Oak Hill Academy (Va.)

The Bulls need a center, but this is too high a slot for Loren Woods. Diop isn't ready to contribute and he could be packaged for a veteran reserve center. But if the Bulls have to go young, they're more apt to go with Diop than Kwame Brown or Tyson Chandler because they already have Elton Brand at power forward. Diop's upside might be better than Curry's or Chandler's over the long term.

5. Golden State – Tyson Chandler, Dominguez HS (Calif.)

The Warriors would love to take Chandler if they can get him. They're well aware of his talent after checking out the in-state talent. Chandler is a seven-footer who can handle the ball and plays more like a small forward than a power forward or center. Even though the Warriors need help right now, Chandler would be too good to pass up.

6. Vancouver – Jason Richardson, So., Michigan State

He's the best athlete in the lottery and would be a steal for the Grizzlies (or Memphis Express). Richardson could go higher. He'll likely dazzle teams in individual workouts. Picking Richardson makes sense because he's the best available player if the draft goes close to form in the top five.

7. New Jersey – Kwame Brown, Glynn Academy HS (Ga.)

The future of Keith Van Horn is uncertain, so picking a scoring and bruising small or potential power forward in Brown wouldn't be surprising. Brown is too good to drop too far in the draft. He has a chance to shoot up higher in individual workouts. But if he doesn't, then the Nets would likely grab him at No. 7.

8. Cleveland – Joe Johnson, So., Arkansas

The Cavs need a scoring wing and Johnson is shooting up the draft lottery because of his versatility. He's a 6-8 big guard, who can put the ball on the floor and hit the deep shot. Johnson would be a steal and is another player who could easily shoot into the top five in individual workouts. The Cavs would love to get a player of his caliber who could help them immediately.

9. Detroit – Rodney White, Fr., Charlotte

This is the biggest lock of the lottery if White is still on the board. Detroit and Boston both have stated to the 49ers that they won't let White slip. He's a 6-9 power forward who has guard skills. The Pistons need his explosiveness off the offensive backboard and versatility. He's another player who could shoot up in individual workouts.

10. Boston – Troy Murphy, Jr., Notre Dame

How perfect would this pick be for the Celtics? Murphy wouldn't have to change going from the Irish to a team that has a Shamrock as a mascot. The Celtics could use a scoring forward and Murphy would be a huge hit in Beantown. He might have defensive limitations but he's a scorer and his fundamentals are as sound as anyone in the draft.

11. Denver – Loren Woods, Sr., Arizona

This pick is likely heading to Boston through a previous trade. The Nuggets could take Woods for the Celtics or for Boston to trade. Woods might be too good to pass up at this point in the lottery. The questions with his back were answered last season and he proved to be a mature player during the NCAA Tournament after immature outbursts during the regular season.

12. Seattle – Michael Bradley, Jr., Villanova

The Sonics would love to see Bradley drop to 12. They need a big, but could take a scoring forward. Bradley is a serious offensive threat, has defensive liabilities, but would be a good zone buster next season. Bradley should interview well and flourish in individual workouts.

13. Houston – Pau Gasol, FC Barcelona

The Rockets just got back from checking out the 7-1 small forward, that's right small forward, in Europe. Gasol is expected to go somewhere in the lottery and this is the bottom of the lottery. Houston has three picks in the first round and could go after frontcourt players at all three spots.

14.Golden State (conveyed from Indiana) – Richard Jefferson, Jr., Arizona

The Warriors took this pick Monday from the Pacers, so look for the Warriors to go for a big-time athlete in Jefferson if he's available.

15. Orlando (might be conveyed to Denver) Brendan Haywood, Sr., UNC

The Magic is likely to keep this pick and they need to go with a big man. It might to too early for the 7-foot Haywood but he's the best of the available big men and won't last too long in the middle of the first round.

16. Charlotte – Joseph Forte, So., North Carolina

North Carolina could go back-to-back with these picks because of Forte. If he's still on the board then the Hornets would be foolish not to take him. Eddie Robinson could be gone and the Hornets could use another scoring wing. Having the Tar Heels' shooting guard wouldn't hurt putting fans in the seats.

17. Toronto – Zach Randolph, Fr., Michigan State

The Raptors could use a big man or a point guard but if Randolph is available then they're likely to take a chance on the unproven Spartan. They have a good track record dipping into Michigan State after Morris Peterson worked out so well this season.

18. Minnesota

The Timberwolves were penalized for the Joe Smith signing fiasco and the NBA is expected to keep the T-Wolves on the board and then announce that the pick has been taken away from them.

19. Houston (from N.Y. via Phoenix and Orlando) Alvin Jones Jr., Sr., Ga. Tech

The Rockets don't know the future of Hakeem Olajuwon. But they do know they need a big man in the next two seasons. Picking Jones Jr. would be a safe bet to get a developing scorer and an already proven shot blocker.

20. Portland – Jeff Trepagnier, Sr., USC

Figuring out the Blazers in the draft is usually a fulltime job. Portland likes and needs to get more athletic and the hit of the Desert Classic was Trepagnier. He shot the ball well and could be a sleeper to move up to No. 20 in this draft. Portland could go in a number of different directions with this pick, which would likely affect the rest of the first round.

21. Cleveland (from Miami) – Jason Collins, So., Stanford

The Cavs need a big man with the future of Zydrunas Ilgauskas in question. Chris Mihm is a power forward, but the Cavs could play Collins next to him. He could also play some power forward. The Cavs would likely have to check out Collins' knee before picking him at this spot.

22. Boston (from Phoenix) – Jamaal Tinsley, Sr., Iowa State

The Celtics are expected to get this pick through a trade from Denver and Phoenix. Boston needs a point guard and won't get one in the lottery. That means Tinsley. He's the best point guard in the draft and would be likely chosen ahead of St. John's freshman Omar Cook and Cincinnati sophomore Kenny Satterfield.

23. Houston (from Milw.) – Kedrick Brown, So., Okaloosa-Walton JC (Fla.)

If the Rockets get Gasol and Jones Jr. with their first two picks then they'll likely look for an athletic player who can play multiple positions. That could very well be Brown, an LSU signee. He's a scoring face the basket forward, which would help the Rockets. This third Rockets pick could definitely be traded.

24. Orlando (from Dallas) – Omar Cook, Fr., St. John's

The Magic need a point guard and next up would either be Cook or Satterfield but the nod at this juncture goes to Cook. He's erratic, but he's worth the risk at this juncture. The Magic is successful with younger players as seen by the development of Mike Miller and Tracy McGrady.

25. Utah – Vladimir Radmanovic, FMP Zeleznik (Yugoslavia)

The Jazz is expected to get 1999 first-round pick Andrei Kirilenko for next season, meaning they could go foreign again and not need the player next season. If that's the case then the logical choice here is Radmanovic, who they could keep in Europe for another season.

26. Sacramento – Sam Clancy, Jr., USC

The Kings are likely to lose Chris Webber and need a scoring power forward. The answer could be Clancy. He's a steal at No. 26 if he's around because he can score facing the basket or with his back to the basket. Clancy is moving up the charts with impressive workouts in Los Angeles.

27. Philadelphia – Trenton Hassell, Sr., Austin Peay

The Sixers have Speedy Claxton coming back from an injury but would have to look at the best available scoring guards remaining. That means Hassell, who would stay in the draft, even though he's going to earn back a fourth season of eligibility. Hassell is a big-time scoring guard, who could come off the bench in Philly.

28. Vancouver (from Lakers via N.Y.) – Gilbert Arenas, So., Arizona

Arenas would be too good to pass up if he drops this far in the draft. He's an athlete and a scorer and the Grizzlies are likely going to be blown up for next season. That means no spot is safe and Arenas could find time on this club.

29. San Antonio – Tayshaun Prince, Jr., Kentucky

The Spurs could go in a variety of directions with the last pick but if the draft were to fall in this order then the SEC MVP would be a nice fit. He can score, even though he's slender, and would slide in as scoring big guard/small forward for the Spurs.
