Our 2012 NBA Mock Draft continues with the start of round two, the Charlotte Bobcats on the clock. This is where teams can grab an unexpected contributor, similar to the New York Knicks grabbing Landry Fields a few years ago and getting nice production. Who will be that kind of player this year?

31. Charlotte BobcatsKevin Jones, West Virginia: Kevin Jones is built to be a Chuck Hayes kind of player, an undersized power forward who rebounds and has a good mid-range game. He's not going to impress people with his athleticism or his size, but he's a good basketball player who can contribute to a team if used correctly. Kevin Jones averaged 19.9 points and 10.9 rebounds at West Virginia.

32. Washington WizardsDraymond Green, Michigan State: Another undersized forward, Draymond Green is a versatile player who can contribute in multiple ways. Green scored 16.2 points per game, grabbed 10.9 rebounds and dished out nearly four assists each night. His well-rounded offensive game makes him a solid prospect despite his lack of ideal size.

33. Cleveland Cavaliers – Evan Fournier, France: Evan Fournier is the first international prospect off the board, a small forward/shooting guard who can create his own shot and sees the court well. Fournier has also shown improved three-point shooting in recent workout, one of the main questions about his game.

34. Cleveland Cavaliers – Miles Plumlee, Duke: Miles Plumlee didn't post eye-popping numbers at Duke, but as an athletic 7-footer he could grow into a productive big man in the NBA. He's a good offensive rebounder and though he hasn't developed a back-to-the-basket offensive game yet, his athleticism suggests that he could.

35. Golden State WarriorsTyshawn Taylor, Kansas: Tyshawn Taylor scored over 16 points per game as a senior at Kansas, picking up his scoring from his first three seasons with the Jayhawks. He was a senior leader on a team that ended up going to the title game, falling to the Kentucky Wildcats. Taylor plays fast and has shown the ability to score and distribute, but needs to cut down on turnovers.
