Pick 1 – San Antonio Spurs Victor Wembanyama Position: C/PF Height: 7’4 – Unconfirmed Wingspan: 8’0 Weight: 230 lb Age on Draft Night: 19 Birthdate: 4th January 2004 There isn’t much that can be said about Victor Wembanyama that hasn’t already been said. A 7’4 big man with the skills of a guard and ridiculous rim-protecting abilities is unheard of. His insane measurements are backed up with a high level of skill that contributed towards a successful season in the…

The 2021 NBA Draft looks to be one of the deepest drafts in recent memory. With 3 top players who all have star potential, and more 1st round talents than 1st round picks, this once overlooked draft will be very exciting to watch. While I managed to post multiple mock drafts last season, I have only managed to post this one due to my workload this year. I hope you enjoy it, and I would be interested to hear any…
Name: Evan MobleyPosition: C/PFReported Height: 7’0Reported Wingspan: 7’4-7’5Weight: 210 lbCollege: USC Evan Mobley has likely secured himself a spot as a top 3 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft following an impressive season at USC.

Gonzaga has started the 2020-21 College Basketball season hot by winning their first 15 games in a row, placing them as the number 1 team in the nation (as of January 24th). One of their most key contributors has been their freshman point guard, Jalen Suggs. Jalen Suggs plays with a rare combination of intelligence, athleticism and toughness. Using these attributes Suggs is able to be a force on both offense and defense. At 6 foot 4 Suggs is also…
NBA fans will remember Bruno Caboclo from the now infamous draft night description; “Two years from being two years away”. This description proved to be relatively accurate, as Caboclo arrived in the NBA very raw. However at 6 foot 9 with a near 7 foot 7 wingspan, Caboclo clearly had the physical tools to be an NBA player. Over the last 6 and a half years, Caboclo has put in the work and gradually improved each year. He now looks…
Cade Cunningham is a near perfect prospect in the modern era of positionless basketball. He is a 6 foot 8 playmaker who is capable of playing the 1 through to the 4. Cunningham’s versatility makes him dangerous for his opposing defenders. His ballhandling and perimeter shooting make him tough to defend for big men, and his hook shot and driving ability make him a tough cover for guards. These skills make him the current favourite to be the number one…
The 2021 NBA draft is one of the most promising draft classes in recent memory. It is full of young players with serious star potential. These players vary from raw long term projects to NBA-ready stars. The only problem I can see so far with this draft, is the lack of big men. However the abundance of young guards and wings should satisfy almost any team in the modern NBA. Below I would like to highlight some of the most…
