This Mock Draft has been written under the assumption that no further trades will be made. While I do expect there to be trades on and leading up to draft night, There is no reasonable way of predicting them. Pick 1 – Orlando Magic Jabari Smith Jr Position: PF Height: 6’10 – College Listed Height Wingspan: 7’1 – Reported by Sports Illustrated Weight: 220 lb Age on Draft Night: 19 Birthdate: 13 May 2003 Smith brings everything you could want…
The 2022 NBA Draft is shaping up to be surprisingly strong. There are some players with star potential available in the lottery, and future NBA role players available all the way through the second round. This mock draft has been written before the NBA Draft Lottery has been determined, and has been written under the assumption no trades will be made. Pick 1 – Houston Rockets Chet Holmgren Position: PF/C Height: 7’0 – College Listed Height Wingspan: 7’3.5 – 7’6 …
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. The young big possesses a rare combination of agility, height, length, timing and basketball IQ. On defense Mobley displayed decent perimeter defense and elite rim protection. On offense he showed off his ability to run the floor better than any other 7 footer in the…
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…
The Bulls are in a pretty good position in this year’s draft. While they just missed out on a top 3 pick, they have several good options. Players like Killian Hayes, Deni Avdija and Isaac Okoro are likely to be available. However I believe that Tyrese Haliburton is the best pick for the team. Tyrese Haliburton is one of the best all-around players in the 2020 NBA Draft. He brings great passing skills, smart shot selection and both on and…
With just 15 days until the NBA draft, we still have very little idea who will be drafted where. Below is the link to my latest mock draft. The draft is based on a mixture of my own opinions and the reports of NBA workouts and interviews. This draft has been written assuming that there are no trades. Based on current rumors we should expect quite a few draft night trades.
