Victor Wembanyama, C, Boulogne-Levallois (France) No need for analysis here. Wemby is a generational prospect the likes of which we haven't seen since LeBron. |
|---|---|---|
| 2 |  |
Scoot Henderson, G, NBA G League Ignite I know Brandon Miller is getting a lot of run here, but Scoot is such a good point guard prospect, I just can't see Charlotte passing on him. Miller may be the better fit, but Scoot is the better prospect, and can absolutely play side by side with LeMelo Ball. |
| 3 |  |
Charlotte saves us from a summer of Damian Lillard trade rumors. Miller is a great fit here alongside Big Game Dame and Simons, Sharpe, and Grant on the wing. |
| 4 |  |
Amen Thompson, F, Overtime Elite (Georgia) Don't count out Cam Whitmore here, but Amen Thompson should be the guy. Kevin Porter is not the long term answer at point guard and a Thomspon/Jalen Green backcourt is the stuff dreams are made of. |
| 5 |  |
Despite an injury prone, up and down season, Whitmore's stock is on the rise. His combination of strength, athleticism, and a sweet outside shot give him plenty of upside. He's also a really nice fit given the core Detroit already has in place. |
| 6 |  |
Ausar Thompson, F, Overtime Elite (Georgia) Orlando is a tough team to mock, with young talent at every spot. That said, their backcourt is still spotty and a big, athletic combo guard like Ausar Thompson could be a nice fit with Paolo, Wagner, and Wendell Carter. |
| 7 |  |
Jarace Walker, G, Houston Walker is simply too good to fall any further, and is a particularly good fit on a guard heavy Indiana team in need of some bulk up front. |
| 8 |  |
Cason Wallace, SG, Kentucky Anthony Black or Taylor Hendricks both make a lot of sense here, but I'm going with Cason Wallace. His stability and defensive intensity are a particularly good fit with the rest of this Wizards roster. |
| 9 |  |
Taylor Hendricks, F, UCF The sweet shooting UCF freshman has flown up draft boards, and lands on a Utah team ahead of schedule, but light on young core pieces. Hendricks could fit nicely upfront between Markkanen and Kessler and give Utah a nice core to build around. |
| 10 |  |
Dereck Lively II, C, Duke This probably feels high for Lively, who didn't exactly show out last year at Duke. But with the success of Walker Kessler this year and Lively's untapped offensive talent, he could be exactly the screen and role big needed to compliment Luka and Kyrie going forward. |
| 11 | |
Orlando Magic from Chicago Bulls Orlando needs outside shooting, and Hawkins is arguably the best pure shooter in this draft. |
| 12 |  |
Gradey Dick, GF, Kansas OKC has quietly amassed a strong young core, but a knock down shooter may be the one thing they still need. In comes Gradey Dick, who can really shoot it from distance and is a surprisingly well rounded player. |
| 13 |  |
Anthony Black, GF, Arkansas With Van Vleet and Anunoby possibly headed out the door, in comes a new positionless player for the Raptors in the form of Anthony Black. |
| 14 |  |
Keyonte George, G, Baylor Keyonte George has too much upside to fall any further here. With no glaring weaknesses, the Pelicans take the best player available. |
| 15 |  |
The Hawks have a lot of questions to answer this offseason, but adding an upside play like GG Jackson should fit no matter what they decide to do with Trae Young. |
| 16 | |
Kobe Bufkin, GF, Michigan Utah Jazz from Minnesota Timberwolves Another riser in the draft prospect, the Michigan guard could help solidify Utah's guards going forward and add a nice scoring punch off the bench. |
| 17 |  |
Leonard Miller, FC, NBA G League Ignite A criminally underrated prospect right now, Miller's offensive game and pesky defense should have him climbing draft boards late in the process. The number he put up in the G-League speak for themselves. |
| 18 |  |
Jalen Hood, PG, Indiana Kyle Lowry isn't getting any younger, and Hood-Schifino could prove a solid backup and heir apparent. |
| 19 |  |
A wing who can make tough shots and has the range to fit in on the wing in Golden State, who's core isn't getting any younger. |
| 20 | |
Bilal Coulibaly, F, Espoirs Boulogne-Levallois (France) Houston Rockets from LA Clippers After landing Amen Thompson at |
| 21 |  |
Brooklyn Nets from Phoenix Suns Nick Smith's stock is sliding, but he's too talented to fall any further. His combo guard skill should fit in nicely with Dinwiddie in the backcourt. |
| 22 | |
Noah Clowney, F, Alabama A modern, athletic wing with shooting touch, Clowney fills a role no one else on this Nets roster currently does. |
| 23 | |
Portland Trail Blazers from New York Knicks Another hot name late in the process, Bobi Klintman would give Portland another big who can really shoot the ball from distance. A lot of upside in this player, but likely will need time to develop his body. |
| 24 |  |
Kris Murray, SF, Iowa I mean, who doesn't want to see the Murray brothers reunited in Sacramento? |
| 25 |  |
Dariq Whitehead, F, Duke Whiteside is a perfect Dillon Brooks replacement, who can step in and play right away and carve out a role. |
| 26 | |
Rayan Rupert, G, New Zealand (New Zealand) Indiana Pacers from Cleveland Cavaliers Rupert is the best player available here, and Indy is just trying to accrue talent at this point. |
| 27 | |
Jett Howard, G, Michigan Charlotte Hornets from Denver Nuggets via OKC to NYK Jett Howard's stock seems to be falling, but he is a knock down shooter who likely won't fall this far come draft day. |
| 28 | |
James Nnaji, C, FC Barcelona II (Spain) Utah Jazz from Philadelphia 76ers via BKN |

Comparisons of draft prospects to current NBA players is always an inexact science, but these projections are a combination of statistical profiles from when the NBA players were at a similar age and from stylistic similarities.
