The 2014/15 NBA and NCAA season are both just days away, and the excitement is too much for some to handle. How will this year's rookies handle the professional game, and how will the college players handle the pressure, and where will they be drafted in the 2015 NBA draft? This mock draft will explore the possible top five coming in next year, and just how this years top-three will handle themselves. The likes of Jabari Parker, Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid will be testing themselves in the NBA, while Jahlil Okafor and Kelly Oubre will be hoping to take their place as the 'stars of tomorrow'.

Possible Top-5 For 2015 NBA Draft:

The top five above will all be hoping to make the same impact that Parker made in his only NCAA season. Parker stepped aside, making his NBA dream become a reality. He explained that he doesn't feel like a rookie.

"I have a voice on my team. That's been good. The guys have been doing a good job listening to me and I listen to them - that's one aspect I have been wanting to have, especially coming to the Bucks, is being a leader and using my wisdom as much as possible. I think I deal with that by not putting myself higher than the team," Parker said. "I don't look at myself big-time, I put myself in my place. I am a rookie, I am inexperienced, I am a first-year NBA player. So I am just anticipating the learning.'

Parker is widely tipped to better Wiggins and Embiid, but just who will replace him in college. It looks like Okafor will be the star for Duke, but on top of replacing Parker, can he become a top two pick like the man he's helping to replace?
