College basketball teams across the country kicked off practice this weekend and will start officially playing in about a month. The 2014-15 NBA regular season will be underway at that point too, but a sizable portion of the league’s front offices will be focused solely on what happens in the NCAA. The 2015 NBA Draft may be over 200 days away, but preparation for it has already begun as teams are always looking towards the future and trying to gain an advantage in scouting for talent.

Without any games being played to help determine the draft order or gauge what team’s needs are, a typical mock draft would be based off of too much speculation. So, rather than putting out a draft based off predictions, Basketball Insiders is releasing a top 60 through the first month of the season based off of last year’s draft order. This is purely a player ranking, and team needs are not taken into account:
