Round 1 - Pick 1

Position
Duke
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: A-
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 3
  • Sch/Ctry: Duke
  • Height: 6' 10"
  • Weight: 250
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Banchero isn't as agile and lacks the lateral quickness Jabari Smith and Chet Holmgren have but he has the most NBA-ready body at 6-foot-10 and 250 pounds. The Duke forward can be plugged in right away alongside Wendell Carter Jr. for some added size and is comfortable starting the offense as a primary ball-handler of missed shots.
Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City
Thunder
Chet Holmgren
Round 1 - Pick 2
C
Position
Gonzaga
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: A
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 2
  • Sch/Ctry: Gonzaga
  • Height: 7' 1"
  • Weight: 195
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Holmgren in the front court with 7-foot Aleksej Pokusewski will be a sight. GM Sam Presti knows what he's doing and while Holmgren is a swing-for-the-fences prospect, he's worth the risk with his upside.
Houston
Houston
Rockets
Jabari Smith
Round 1 - Pick 3
PF
Position
Auburn
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: A+
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 1
  • Sch/Ctry: Auburn
  • Height: 6' 10"
  • Weight: 220
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Houston scored big in landing Smith. He's the most versatile big at the top of the draft and will fit in well alongside Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. Smith didn't work out for the Rockets ahead of the draft. He is a huge pickup for the Rockets as an inside-out option and a player who can defend positions 1-though-5.
Sacramento
Sacramento
Kings
Keegan Murray
Round 1 - Pick 4
SF
Position
Iowa
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: A
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 5
  • Sch/Ctry: Iowa
  • Height: 6' 8"
  • Weight: 215
Yahoo Sports Commentary
It was clear that the Kings were zeroing in on Murray at the beginning of the week. He had a strong workout with them leading up to the draft and is a nice complementary piece to Davion Mitchell and De'Aaron Fox. The Kings haven't had much luck drafting bigs but Murray's hybrid role to switch off the wing to the post will bring versatility in the front court.
Detroit
Detroit
Pistons
Jaden Ivey
Round 1 - Pick 5
SG
Position
Purdue
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: A+
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 4
  • Sch/Ctry: Purdue
  • Height: 6' 4"
  • Weight: 195
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Ivey falling to No. 5 is the best scenario for the Pistons. Ivey in the backcourt with former No. 1 pick Cade Cunningham is a strong combination and one Pistons fans should be excited about. With the way Cunningham can create off the dribble and Ivey's flashy finishes around the rim, this is a fun, talented duo coming up in Detroit.
Indiana
Indiana
Pacers
Bennedict Mathurin
Round 1 - Pick 6
SG
Position
Arizona
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: B-
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 8
  • Sch/Ctry: Arizona
  • Height: 6' 6"
  • Weight: 205
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Mathurin is a plug-and-play guard who can impact the offensive end of the court with his playmaking and versatility. He's not the best 3-point shooting guard in the draft but he has a high release, and can shoot and pass over the defense with his 6-foot-6 frame. He's a great secondary addition to Tyrese Haliburton and Malcolm Brogdon.
Portland
Portland
Trail Blazers
Shaedon Sharpe
Round 1 - Pick 7
SG
Position
Kentucky
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: B
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 7
  • Sch/Ctry: Kentucky
  • Height: 6' 5"
  • Weight: 215
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Sharpe is the biggest question mark of the draft and will need additional time to adjust to the NBA's pace and spacing after not logging a single minute at Kentucky. If the Trail Blazers are patient, Sharpe might have ended up in the perfect situation playing alongside Dame Lillard and Anfernee Simons in the backcourt.
New Orleans
New Orleans
Pelicans
Dyson Daniels
Round 1 - Pick 8 (from Lakers)
SG
Position
G League Ignite
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: B+
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 6
  • Sch/Ctry: G League Ignite
  • Height: 6' 7"
  • Weight: 195
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Daniels grew 2 inches, reaching 6-foot-8 by the end of the G League season. He can add some much-needed size to the Trail Blazers as a primary ball-handler on the second unit or at the wing position with the starting rotation.
San Antonio
San Antonio
Spurs
Jeremy Sochan
Round 1 - Pick 9
SF
Position
Baylor
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: A-
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 15
  • Sch/Ctry: Baylor
  • Height: 6' 9"
  • Weight: 230
Yahoo Sports Commentary
A dynamic defender, Sochan can guard every position on the court with his length and athleticism. He still needs development on the offensive side of the ball but will see early minutes off the bench for this Spurs team.
Washington
Washington
Wizards
Johnny Davis
Round 1 - Pick 10
SG
Position
Wisconsin
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: A-
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 9
  • Sch/Ctry: Wisconsin
  • Height: 6' 6"
  • Weight: 196
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Davis is one of the most reliable guards in this draft, averaging nearly 20 points per game and committing only two turnovers during his sophomore season at Wisconsin. The Wizards are finally getting Bradley Beal some help in the backcourt and Davis can be that secondary scoring option at the end of the shot clock.
Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City
Thunder
Ousmane Dieng
Round 1 - Pick 11 (from Knicks)
PF
Position
France
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: C
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 14
  • Sch/Ctry: France
  • Height: 6' 9"
  • Weight: 185
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Dieng improved tremendously over his season with the NZ Breakers in Australia's National Basketball League. He's still a very raw prospect, so the Thunder will have to be patient with his development. In a season or two, Dieng will be a very productive wing with great size at 6-foot-10.
Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City
Thunder
Jalen Williams
Round 1 - Pick 12 (from Clippers)
SF
Position
Santa Clara
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: A
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 26
  • Sch/Ctry: Santa Clara
  • Height: 6' 6"
  • Weight: 209
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Williams was the biggest draft riser after the combine. He brings some size to the wing with his 6-foot-7 frame and 7-foot-2 wingspan. Williams is a little older at 21 years old but he can jump into the rotation right away.
Detroit
Detroit
Pistons
Jalen Duren
Round 1 - Pick 13 (from Hornets)
C
Position
Memphis
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: A+
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 18
  • Sch/Ctry: Memphis
  • Height: 6' 10"
  • Weight: 250
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Duren is one of the youngest players in this draft class but has a lot of upside with his already built out frame at 6-foot-10, 250 pounds. The Pistons will get some help in the front court and Duren provides that immediate presence in the lane.
Cleveland
Cleveland
Cavaliers
Ochai Agbaji
Round 1 - Pick 14
SG
Position
Kansas
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: A
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 13
  • Sch/Ctry: Kansas
  • Height: 6' 6"
  • Weight: 217
Yahoo Sports Commentary
The Cavs need help on the wing with 3-point shooting and Agbaji nicely fills that role. He tested the NBA waters two other times and it paid off in a huge way. He has established himself more as a reliable 3-and-D guy, worked on his body and led the Jayhawks to a national championship. Agbaji is a guy the Cavs can plug in right away with his experience and elite skills at the wing.
Charlotte
Charlotte
Hornets
Mark Williams
Round 1 - Pick 15 (from Pelicans)
C
Position
Duke
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: A
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 12
  • Sch/Ctry: Duke
  • Height: 7' 2"
  • Weight: 242
Yahoo Sports Commentary
The Hornets need some help in the front court and Williams was one of the best rim protectors in the country last season. Williams stands at 7-foot-2 and has an impressive 7-5 wingspan. He has a great frame that he can still grow into and there's a lot of upside to this young center.
Atlanta
Atlanta
Hawks
A.J. Griffin
Round 1 - Pick 16
SF
Position
Duke
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: B+
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 10
  • Sch/Ctry: Duke
  • Height: 6' 6"
  • Weight: 222
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Griffin is the definition of positionless basketball. He can move between multiple spots with his 6-foot-6, 230-pound frame. Griffin had his fair share of injuries through his young career, so he's a gamble this high in the draft. If he can stay healthy, he might be a missing piece to this Hawks team.
Houston
Houston
Rockets
Tari Eason
Round 1 - Pick 17 (from Nets)
SF
Position
LSU
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: A
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 16
  • Sch/Ctry: LSU
  • Height: 6' 8"
  • Weight: 217
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Eason is one of the best wing rim runners in this draft class and specializes in chase-down blocks, challenging guards at the rim and even dropping down with his 7-foot-2 wingspan to guard power forwards. He's a raw, athletic wing who loves to play above the rim and will add excitement to this already young, fast-paced Rockets team.
Chicago
Chicago
Bulls
Dalen Terry
Round 1 - Pick 18
SG
Position
Arizona
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: B+
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 30
  • Sch/Ctry: Arizona
  • Height: 6' 7"
  • Weight: 195
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Terry elected to stay in the draft, surprising a lot of scouts. His upside is clear. He's a long, athletic wing at 6-foot-7 and is a player who could be impactful on this Bulls roster after a year or two of development. The Bulls got a great second-round pick last year with Ayo Dosunmu and Terry can step in alongside Dosunmu in the secondary unit.
Memphis

Jake LaRavia
Round 1 - Pick 19 (From Timberwolves)

Wake Forest
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: B
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 37
  • Sch/Ctry: Wake Forest
  • Height: 6' 8"
  • Weight: 227
Yahoo Sports Commentary
LaRavia is a solid role player and can play the stretch four and has all the tools to be a solid role player in the NBA. The Grizzlies have a set roster and took a safe, reliable wing in LaRavia.
San Antonio

Malaki Branham
Round 1 - Pick 20 (from Raptors)
PG

Ohio St.
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: A
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 11
  • Sch/Ctry: Ohio St.
  • Height: 6' 6"
  • Weight: 195
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Braham has great size at 6-foot-5 and was the most improved player from the start of the college season to the end. He averaged 13.7 points, two assists and committed only 1.7 turnovers per game. Expect Branham to be in the secondary group off the bench to start the season but with his size and the way he sees the floor, Branham could see some minutes early with the starting unit.
Denver

Christian Braun
Round 1 - Pick 21

Kansas
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: C-
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 29
  • Sch/Ctry: Kansas
  • Height: 6' 7"
  • Weight: 209
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Braun was an integral part in Kansas' championship run this past season. He's more than a 3-point shooter and has proven he has the athleticism to be an effective NBA guard.
Minnesota
Minnesota

Walker Kessler
Round 1 - Pick 22 (from Grizzlies via Jazz)

Position
Auburn
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: B
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 28
  • Sch/Ctry: Auburn
  • Height: 7' 1"
  • Weight: 256
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Kessler was the leading shot blocker in college basketball this past season and moves well with his 7-foot-1 frame. The Cavs had success last year with Isaiah Mobley and Jarrett Allen in the lane and Tim Connelly is making a similar move in his first year as president of basketball operations.
Memphis
Memphis
Grizzlies
David Roddy
Round 1 - Pick 23 (from Sixers)

Colorado St.
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: B-
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 42
  • Sch/Ctry: Colorado St.
  • Height: 6' 6"
  • Weight: 261
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Roddy moves better for his size and has a decent outside shot for the power forward position. He’s a hard worker who will give decent minutes off the bench behind Steven Adams and Jaren Jackson Jr. He's one of the older players in the draft and will bring high energy to this Grizzlies squad.
Milwaukee

MarJon Beauchamp
Round 1 - Pick 24

G League Ignite
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: B+
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 21
  • Sch/Ctry: G League Ignite
  • Height: 6' 6"
  • Weight: 197
Yahoo Sports Commentary
A great 3-and-D guard with good size at 6-foot-7. Beauchamp continues to develop his 3-point jumper and has a significant advantage entering the league, after playing a season in the G League with the Ignite team.
San Antonio
San Antonio

Blake Wesley
Round 1 - Pick 25 (from Celtics)

Notre Dame
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: A
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 20
  • Sch/Ctry: Notre Dame
  • Height: 6' 4"
  • Weight: 187
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Wesley is the first one-and-done in Notre Dame program history and even though he was inconsistent during the season, he has improved his jumper and added 9 pounds of muscle mass during the pre-draft process. Wesley is an underrated passer and has great body control around the rim.
Minnesota

Wendell Moore
Round 1 - Pick 26 (from Rockets via Mavericks)

Duke
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: B

  • Height: 6' 6"
  • Weight: 217
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Moore tested the NBA waters last year and elected to return for one more season, working on his body and footwork. It paid off and he was the floor general for a very good Duke team. Moore will carry that leadership to Minnesota and be a decent backup.
Miami

Nikola Jovic
Round 1 - Pick 27

Serbia
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: C
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 19
  • Sch/Ctry: Serbia
  • Height: 6' 11"
  • Weight: 222
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Jovic is a great shooter and hit 13 corner 3-pointers during his pro day in Chicago. He'll need some work adjusting to the NBA pace and needs to work on his pick-and-roll reads to develop outside of being just a designated shooter.
Golden State

Patrick Baldwin Jr.

Milwaukee
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: C-
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 31
  • Sch/Ctry: Milwaukee
  • Height: 6' 10"
  • Weight: 231
Yahoo Sports Commentary
The Warriors have the luxury to draft a player here they can stash and develop. Baldwin looks the part of an elite NBA player with his 6-foot-10 frame. He handles and shoots the ball like a guard but there are concerns if he can stay healthy. Baldwin played only 11 games this past college season due to an ankle injury and was plagued with injuries in high school. Again, the Warriors can stash him and develop him but it's still a risky pick.

Washington played off the ball at Kentucky and developed further as a secondary ball-handler. He doesn’t have a problem getting downhill and creating for others.
Denver

Peyton Watson
Round 1 - Pick 30 (from Suns via Thunder)
SF
Position
UCLA
Sch/Ctry
  • Draft Grade: C
  • Pre-Draft Rank: 35
  • Sch/Ctry: UCLA
  • Height: 6' 8"
  • Weight: 203
Yahoo Sports Commentary
Watson didn't see a lot of minutes in his one year at UCLA after Mick Cronin returned almost his entire Final Four team. Watson's upside is undeniable as a 6-foot-8 guard and he'll need a year or two of development before he starts to see consistent rotational minutes.
