Earlier this morning, we unveiled the first version of our 2012 mock draft, projecting every pick from No. 1 (Anthony Davis) to No. 30 (Quincy Miller). We'll publish one more mock next week, before draft day, and until then, we'll be keeping tabs on all the latest draft-related news and rumors. Here are today's updates, with the newest items added at the top throughout the day….

The Bulls may be open to moving Luol Deng for a package that includes a lottery pick, according to Mike McGraw of the Daily Herald.

Still, this seems like a long shot to me.

Draft Updates: International Players, Tony Mitchell

April 23rd, 2012 at 4:21pm CST by Luke Adams

The NCAA underclassmen who have entered the NBA draft receive more attention and will make up a majority of the first round, but a number of international players have been making themselves eligible for the draft as well. Today's draft updates from Jonathon Givony of DraftExpress.com (via Twitter) focus on those international names….

Turkish big man Furkan Aldemir, DraftExpress.com's 45th overall prospect, will make himself eligible for the draft.
Serbian point guard Nemanja Nedovic will enter the draft. He ranks 59th among this year's top 100 prospects, according to DraftExpress.
Spanish point guard Josep Franch will also declare for the draft. He doesn't crack DraftExpress.com's top 100 prospects, but ranks just a couple spots behind Aldemir and Nedovic on the site's top international 1991-born prospects.
Turkish seven-footer Sertac Sanli, who ranks 19th among 1991-born international prospects on DraftExpress, will enter the draft as well.
Back in the NCAA, North Texas freshman Tony Mitchell is still leaning toward entering the draft. DraftExpress.com's 26th-overall prospect has until Sunday to make a decision.
