With the draft just 4 days from now, I think people are starting to get a clear picture of what their REAL opinions are of prospects. When people here Lillard you hear "efficient", "hard-worker", and "Big Sky". When people here Rivers you hear "confident", "killer crossover", "inefficient".. When people here Sully you hear "fat", "unathletic" and "slow" (which is woefully uninformed BTW HAHA). So without further ado, here's the Mock Draft 2012 (as of 6/25/2012)

Well by my count the Damian Lillard - 7, Andre Drummond - 2, Austin Rivers - 1, Jared Sullinger - 1, Kendall Marshall - 1, Terrence Jones - 1.
A few notes:
1.) That 2nd round pick is as clear as the letters on a paper placed in a black bottle, that's floating in an ocean filled with oil, in the darkest night, without a flashlight - nobody knows. My personal preference is Jae Crowder. In the 5 sites that have a 2nd round mock draft, Crowder is available at 46 in 2 of them. There is hope!! If nobody knows Crowder, here is unnamed's Better Know a Prospect article, great stuff.
2.) Dick Vitale's selection of Terrence Jones. It is an interesting case when both Drummond and Lillard are gone at 10. Personally, I'd pull for my boy Sullinger or for Kendall Marshall. Both are prospects who's skill set I really like. I think most people will pull for Rivers. In the case that Drummond, Lillard and Rivers are gone, who is your pick?
3.) Predict the top 14 picks and our 46th pick. Assume that all teams go BPA except for WAS, SAC and GS (all 3 have indicated they are looking to win more. Thus, they'd highly consider fit over BPA).
