Zion Williamson, PF, Duke Consensus |
|---|---|---|
| 2 |  |
Slim chance another prospect moves into this spot |
| 3 |  |
This is where it gets dicey as NY is rumored to be shopping the pickBarrett , Culver , and yes Bol are all targets fro trade up teamsBut I'm going with Garland as the perfect prospect to compliment Zion in a NY for AD pelicans trade |
| 4 |  |
Cam Reddish, G, Duke buying into the probability this pick is shopped and taking the bpa would make sense that being Barrett or Culver, but I think given his core muscle issue backing up his bad season excuse moves Reddish ahead of those 2 as the Lakers top target to to keep or trade soon after the draft |
| 5 |  |
R.J. Barrett, SG, Duke If the Cavs are looking at the big board and Barrett falls to them they will probably pull the trigger, but I also think there is a strong case for Culver instead given he is the better shooter , defender and can play off guard to compliment Sexton . Regardless I think the overall opinion is Barrett is higher on their board and is unlikely to fall to 5 so they could use this spot in that scenario to get a haul and trade down. |
| 6 |  |
Coby White, PG, North Carolina Suns should not overthink this... White is the perfect fit in Phoenix |
| 7 |  |
Jarrett Culver, SG, Texas Tech Hunter is really not in play for CHI given their roster construction and there are no elite pg options left so I think they will take Culver as a secondary ball handler |
| 8 |  |
De'Andre Hunter, PF, Virginia If ATL keeps both picks I think they will definitely take Hunter here if on the board |
| 9 |  |
Will they move on from Beal? there isn't anyone on the board still to replace Wall. or do they add some upside in the front court? I am going with the latter who is such a freak of nature and has elite offensive tools if he has a clean medical |
| 10 | |
Jaxson Hayes, PF, Texas Atlanta Hawks from Dallas ATL should go guard here but I think they will double down on the front court after drafting Huerter last season and Hayes is more than worth the value at 10 long term |
| 11 |  |
Sekou Doumbouya, F, CSP Limoges (France) Trade down likely if they want a pg, but if not I think they look to add a project pf and go with the high upside of Doumbouya |
| 12 |  |
P.J. Washington, PF, Kentucky CHA may shop this pick trying to unload Biyombo or Batum, to get a win now vet with Kemba most likely signing the supermax. If they keep the pick I think they will go for the Blueblood product who has a stellar soph season |
| 13 |  |
Miami is in hell with their contracts and very likely this is moved. If they keep it or move it, I think the pick is Nas Little |
| 14 |  |
Goga Bitadze, C, KK Mega Bemax (Serbia) Boston Celtics from Sacramento via PHI Are they going to get AD and will this pick go to the Pels? if not and if so I think the pick is the same. Goga fits a need for Boston without AD and for the Pels without AD |
| 15 |  |
Rui Hachimura, F, Gonzaga Under the impression that Rui is a lock to be a Piston , other possibilities are KPJ and THT |
| 16 |  |
Brandon Clarke, PF, Gonzaga Orlando Orlando Orlando... do they go freak athlete or proven player? I think this time they try to bridge that gap by taking one that is both |
| 17 |  |
Kevin Porter, Jr., SF, USC Nets look to add some additional offense in the front court and gamble on the upside of KPJ |
| 18 |  |
Louis King, SF, Oregon Depth at the 2 or depth at the 4 ?I can see them taking Dort as a combo option a possibility but instead go for the versatility of the 3/4 in KIng |
| 19 |  |
Spurs don't need any guards and will take a front court player. I have them the player nobody sees coming |
| 20 | |
Carsen Edwards, PG, Purdue Boston Celtics from L.A. Clippers via MEM Do they still have this pick? if so they take and insurance policy on Irving's departure yet a guard that can come off the bench as a scoring weapon if KI stays. |
| 21 |  |
OKC needs shooters |
| 22 | |
Boston likely won't have all 3 picks before the day is over so I'm going BPA here |
| 23 |  |
do they add a versatile 4 or go for a pg? I think they do the latter at this point |
| 24 |  |
Grant Williams, SF, Tennessee Philly will probably trade this pick if the likes of Langford and Herro are still on the board. But I have them taking Grant Williams for themselves |
| 25 |  |
Chuma Okeke, PF, Auburn Highly unlikely this pick isn't moved, but if they keep it, I think the 3 |
| 26 | |
Keldon Johnson, SF, Kentucky Cleveland Cavaliers from Houston Claxton and Okpala in play here as well, but I think the overall upside of a prospect like Johnson will be the likely choice. |
| 27 | |
Romeo Langford, SG, Indiana Brooklyn Nets from Denver Nets love projects and Langford already has proven to be solid defensively and scoring near the rim, but he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from deep in college |
| 28 |  |
versatile proven players are the mantra at this point in their run |
| 29 | |
San Antonio Spurs from Toronto Spurs go upside here |
| 30 |  |
depends on their ability to bring everyone back...but I am guessing another 2 way front court player that can shoot and block shots will get the nod |
| 31 | |
Luka Samanic, PF, Union Olimpija (Slovenia) Brooklyn Nets from New York via PHI Nets go stash |
|---|---|---|
| 32 | |
rim runner |
| 33 | |

Jontay Porter, PF, Missouri no way Philly keeps all their picks...bpa |

Charles Matthews, SG, Michigan Sacramento Kings from Milwaukee back court defense |
From Giannis Antetokounmpo to Alperen Sengun, we try to find 10 trades that swap a single pick in the 2026 NBA draft for a single veteran player that is as close to a win-win for both teams as possible.
