    NBA Mock Draft

    Full Story
    Atlanta
    Atlanta
    Hawks
    Alex Sarr
    Pick 1
    C
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    The Hawks have a lot of options with this pick and Sarr could be the versatile center to play alongside Trae Young if he stays in Atlanta. Sarr, who elected to play for the Perth Wildcats in Australia's NBL for one season, commanded the attention of NBA scouts and executives in the fall during a pair of exhibition games in Las Vegas against the G League Ignite. He showcased a much improved motor and elite rim protection, and solidified himself as a potential top pick after dominating the paint against other projected lottery talent in Matas Buzelis and Ron Holland. During his one season for the Wildcats, Sarr averaged 9.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 18 minutes per game.
    Washington
    Washington
    Wizards
    Zaccharie Risacher
    Pick 2
    G/F
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    The 6-9 wing has played over 60 games this season, more than any other prospect, and shown significant improvement since he played for Team World at the Nike Hoop Summit last spring. One of the best catch-and-shoot wings in the draft, Risacher is shooting 39% from 3-point range on 3.5 attempts per game and has added better decision-making in the lane and is an improving facilitator. The Wizards drafted French guard Bilal Coulibaly last year and bringing in Risacher to play alongside him could form one of the best up-and-coming perimeter defenses in the Eastern Conference.
    Houston
    Houston
    Rockets
    Donovan Clingan
    Pick 3
    C
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    The Rockets have invested heavily in guard play the last few drafts with Jalen Green and Amen Thompson last year. Adding Clingan to anchor the defense could bring some added size to bang with the talented centers in the Western Conference. Clingan dealt with injuries all season, but he was at full strength during the postseason and helped lead UConn to back-to-back titles. The 7-2 center held his own against 7-4 Zach Edey, the most dominant player in college basketball, and solidified himself as the next big off the board after Sarr. In a tournament win over Northwestern, Clingan flirted with a triple-double, finishing with 14 points, 14 rebounds and eight blocks in 27 minutes. He moves well laterally for his size and has the footwork to defend the pick-and-roll and recover to the block.
    San Antonio
    San Antonio
    Spurs
    Nikola Topić
    Pick 4
    SG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    The Spurs need a playmaker to get Wembanyama the ball, and Topić is one of the best passers in this draft class. Topić was sidelined for over three months with a knee injury, but he's back playing for KK Crvena Zvezda in Serbia. The 6-6 point guard is averaging 5.9 assists per game. In a recent win on May 3, his second game back from injury, Topić put up eight points, six assists and two steals in 18 minutes off the bench. He has recorded 10 assists twice this season and is only averaging two turnovers per game as the team's primary ball-handler.
    Detroit
    Detroit
    Pistons
    Matas Buzelis
    Pick 5
    F
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    It's hard to not bet on a player like Buzelis at the NBA level with his length and how well he finishes above the rim. He struggled from the outside this year for the Ignite, but showed a lot of improvement defensively, guarding multiple positions and using better timing as a rim protector. The Pistons falling to No. 5 still gives them options to add length and defensive versatility with Buzelis, who can play multiple positions.
    Charlotte
    Charlotte
    Hornets
    Stephon Castle
    Pick 6
    G
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Castle was incredible during the NCAA tournament. The 6-6 guard delivered under pressure on the biggest stage in college basketball, particularly in the Final Four. In his last two games against Alabama and Purdue, Castle averaged 18 points and five rebounds. He is one of the best defending guards in this draft class and consistently smothered some of the best guards as a freshman this past season. He was one of the biggest risers during the tournament and is now a projected top-five pick.
    Portland
    Portland
    Trail Blazers
    Ron Holland
    Pick 7
    G/F
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Holland was a high-volume scorer on a struggling Ignite team, but teams might look past his score-first instincts with the lack of playmakers on the team this year. He's one of the best defensive forwards in this class, averaging 2.3 steals per game.
    San Antonio
    San Antonio
    Spurs
    Rob Dillingham
    Pick 8
    G
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    The Kentucky point guard was arguably one of the best players in the country while coming off the bench. Dillingham is incredibly shifty and doesn't shy away from big shots or big moments when the game is on the line. Teams might be wary of how productive he can be as an undersized point guard in the league, but he didn't have a problem creating separation off the dribble playing in the SEC. Dillingham averaged 15.2 points and 3.9 assists in his one season at Kentucky. The Spurs have the opportunity to draft two great facilitators inside the lottery and create more options for chemistry and growth around Wembanyama.
    Memphis
    Memphis
    Grizzlies
    Reed Sheppard
    Pick 9
    G
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Sheppard has a maturity and ease to his game that made him look more like an upperclassman and not a freshman during his one season at Kentucky. He is reliable in the backcourt, a great defender and can knock it down from deep.
    Utah
    Utah
    Jazz
    Cody Williams
    Pick 10
    F
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Williams, the younger brother of Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams, dealt with injuries during his one year at Colorado, but showed promising upside during the NCAA tournament with how well he defended in both transition and half-court sets. He has a solid two-dribble pull-up and promising potential as an outside shooter.
    Chicago
    Chicago
    Bulls
    Dalton Knecht
    Pick 11
    G
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Knecht was one of the best scorers in college basketball and, at times, carried Tennessee through tough games. His defense has improved, and he's tough on both sides of the ball with his physicality and ability to finish through contact.
    Oklahoma City
    Oklahoma City
    Thunder
    Ja'Kobe Walter
    Pick 12
    G
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Walter is one of the best outside shooting guards in the draft with how well he sets his feet and with his quick-twitch high release. He went cold during the back half of the season at Baylor with opposing teams having ample time to scout him. The NBA spacing and pace should translate better to his style of play.
    Sacramento
    Sacramento
    Kings
    Tidjane Salaun
    Pick 13
    G/F
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Salaun is still playing for his team in the French league, giving extended time for scouts to watch him leading up to the draft. Salaun is far from a finished product, but has improved tremendously over the season in many areas, including his shot selection and quick decision-making when the ball is in his hands.
    Portland
    Portland
    Trail Blazers
    Yves Missi
    Pick 14
    C
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Missi's combination of size, rim protection and great hands could see him sneak into the lottery during the pre-draft process while working out individually for teams. He averaged 10.7 points and 5.6 rebounds in 23 minutes for Baylor during his freshman year.
    Miami
    Miami
    Heat
    Isaiah Collier
    Pick 15
    G
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Collier didn’t get a chance to find his rhythm at USC after dealing with an injury and chemistry issues with teammates, but he would be a steal for anyone outside the lottery. There are still questions surrounding his outside shot, but he is one of the best downhill guards in this draft.
    Philadelphia
    Philadelphia
    76ers
    Devin Carter
    Pick 16
    G
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Carter is one of the best two-way guards in the draft. He can come into an established 76ers backcourt and give good minutes with the second unit. During his junior season, he averaged 19.7 points and 3.6 assists per game and capped his college career with 27 points and eight rebounds against a very talented Marquette team.
    New Orleans
    New Orleans
    Pelicans
    Kyle Filipowski
    Pick 17
    C
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Filipowski elected to return for his sophomore season after undergoing double hip surgery a year ago and his lateral movement improved this season. Duke ran a lot of offense through the 7-foot center and Jon Scheyer tried to target mismatches anytime he could. Although he didn’t shoot the 3-ball great this season, the promise for a pick-and-pop game is there, and he’s an elite defender with how well he guards the paint.
    Orlando
    Orlando
    Magic
    Kel'el Ware
    Pick 18
    C
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Ware was significantly better during his sophomore season at Indiana. He was stronger with the ball and a great defensive anchor for the Hoosiers. The Magic invested heavily in guards last year and could be looking to add some size and length in the frontcourt.
    Toronto
    Toronto
    Raptors
    Tyler Smith
    Pick 19
    F
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Smith is an intriguing prospect with his size and versatility, and his draft range is anywhere from late lottery to mid-first round. His one season with the G League Ignite was up and down from a scouting perspective with how lopsided the games were against the Ignite, but Smith posed a pick-and-pop threat from behind the arc and improved his decision-making and shot selection coming off the bench.
    Cleveland
    Cleveland
    Cavaliers
    Tristan da Silva
    Pick 20
    F
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Da Silva really showed how effective and versatile he can be as an offensive option late in the season and during the NCAA tournament, finishing his college career averaging 16 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. He has the size and experience to be an instant impact addition on a second unit at the next level.
    Orlando
    Orlando
    Magic
    Tristan da Silva
    Pick 21
    F
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Da Silva is another player on the rise after a strong performance in postseason play. He's proven this season that he can be an offensive threat in different sets and is a player with a high IQ who does a lot of little things really well. He has good size and, even in the loss to Marquette, showed versatility in his shot creation and deep range, finishing with 17 points (including three 3-pointers).
    Cleveland
    Cleveland
    Cavaliers
    Jared McCain
    Pick 22
    G
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    McCain set the Duke record for most 3s in the NCAA tournament when he went off in the first round, connecting on 8-of-11 attempts. His quick release gives him the advantage as a perimeter shooter even though he's a bit undersized for an NBA guard. He finished the season shooting 41.4% from deep on five attempts per game.
    Phoenix
    Phoenix
    Suns
    Carlton "Bub" Carrington
    Pick 23
    G
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Carrington is a score-first guard who can get a shot off from anywhere. He's a physical defender, too, and quick when turning defense to offense and advancing the ball.
    Milwaukee
    Milwaukee
    Bucks
    Bobi Klintman
    Pick 24
    F
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Klintman showed more promise as a perimeter threat during his season in the NBL. The versatile forward elected to play overseas this season after not logging very many minutes at Wake Forest during his freshman year. Scouts love his potential as an inside-out big who can stretch the floor and extend the defense.
    New York
    New York
    Knicks
    Kevin McCullar Jr.
    Pick 25
    G
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    McCullar was the best guard on Kansas this year, but dealt with some injuries toward the end of the season that kept him sidelined for the NCAA tournament. Bill Self does a great job at developing guards for the NBA, and McCullar will be the next four-year guard to hit the NBA and potentially go in the first round.
    Washington
    Washington
    Wizards
    Johnny Furphy
    Pick 26
    G/F
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Kansas dealt with injuries all season long and it allowed Furphy to get more playing time than expected. His upside and size as a 3-and-D player is what interests teams the most. He's a player who could see early minutes because of his size and consistent shooting.
    Utah
    Utah
    Jazz
    DaRon Holmes II
    Pick 27
    F
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Holmes is a player who attacks the rim out of the pick-and-roll and is so strong with the ball in his hands. He was the No. 1 scoring option for Dayton this year and consistently put up 25-plus points toward the end of the season, averaging 20.4 points and 8.5 rebounds on the season.
    Denver
    Denver
    Nuggets
    Dillon Jones
    Pick 28
    G/F
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Jones was a walking triple-double this season and is such a smart player. He's an elite facilitator and, when the game is on the line, he has the ability to take over and get a bucket. His biggest area of improvement will be his body, with NBA teams wanting to see him trim down a bit at the guard position. But he's a plug-and-play guy right away in the NBA with his ability to impact the game positively from different spots on the floor.
    Minnesota
    Minnesota
    Timberwolves
    Kyshawn George
    Pick 29
    G/F
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    George is definitely a player who needs further development and would be a draft-and-stash for any team in the first round. His size on the wing paired with his smooth 3-point jumper is a prototype for a productive perimeter player in the NBA.
    Boston
    Boston
    Celtics
    Jaylon Tyson
    Pick 30
    G
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Tyson was the offensive anchor for a struggling Cal team this year. He had a couple of games this season where he disappeared at times and took possessions off, but scouts at the Pac-12 tournament really got a chance to see his upside as a guard both on and off the ball. In the overtime loss to Stanford, Tyson was the best prospect on the court, finishing with 18 points, eight assists and seven rebounds.
