Bayesian Inference of Mock NBA Draft Order

Many of us who follow the NBA Draft closely have a keen desire to know the precise ordering of the Draft, eg where each player will be taken ("where" having a dual meaning here, both the team and draft slot). To this end, it is common behavior to ingest the information we get from the dozen or more "prominent" mock drafts available leading up to the Draft. There are different ways analysts and media try to aggregate this information into what I like to call "Meta Mocks". Typically this just involves very simple operations like averaging ranks or looking at the minimum and maximum draft position. Chris Feller just the other day shared a very cool approach using survival analysis.
