The "Career Track Experiment" is something I've been wanting to do. It is essentially an idea where I would track a player who goes in the top 5 throughout his whole career until he retires. So in this, I'm tracking whichever players get picked in the Top 5 and only the top 5. If a player drops to the 6th pick, then I won't track him, just to keep things clear and not confusing for myself as well.

John Wilcox (PG, Kansas State), is the consensus #1 overall in the 2015 NBA draft. This being the opening day mock draft analysis there is a high chance for movement on the draft board, but at this time, the 6'0 point guard is #1 on all 3 draft boards.
Lucas Maxwell (C, North Carolina State) is the consensus #2 overall pick. At 6'11, Maxwell is a prospect that is hard to miss, his length combined with his ability to run the floor and athleticism make for a very interesting prospect. Number 2 on all the draft boards currently.
Ricky Frazier (PF, DePaul), is the consensus #3 overall pick. This year Frazier is going into his senior year at DePaul and experience at the college level is always something scouts look for when wanting to draft a dependable and well developed big. Number 3 on all the draft boards.
Ervin Moody (C, Northwestern), only shows up on one draft board, that being the Draft Xpress board. A true 7 footer, Ervin is also going into his senior year and he is attracting a lot of scouts to his games, however his limited mobility may effect him in the NBA. Ervin Moody drops as low as #7 on current draft boards, his stock is truly in the air.
Itsi Szerb (PF, Hungary), is one of the more interesting prospects in the draft. Only 19 years old, Szerb has a well developed post-game, as well as the ability to grab boards frequently around the rim. Szerb shows up on the NBA.com draft board as well as the Draft Xpress board. Szerb is currently listed as going as high as #4 and as low as #6.
Stewart Clarke (SG, England), the other international prospect from England, Clarke, has an innate ability to create his own shot. At 6'6, he is a tall shooting guard that can contribute to an offense immediately. Clarke is seen going as high as #4 and as low as #8.
Earl Sampson (SF, Arizona), Sampson, showing up on only one draft board seems to be another "safe" pick at 22 years old. Sampson is the only forward who is found in the top 5, however he too falls as low as #7.
There are going to be a lot of movers in this years draft as indicated by the mock drafts.
