The NBA Draft was recently scheduled by the NBA, and with the season coming to an end soon, it’s time to start looking at how the NBA Draft could shake out.
The NBA Draft is set to take place on July 29th this year, with the combine happening from June 21-27.
We will know what the draft order looks like on June 22nd, but as of right now, we are going to use a Tankathon simulation to determine who will pick 1-4.
That order goes as follows:
1. Pistons
2. Magic
3. Timberwolves
4. Cavaliers
5. Thunder (from HOU)
6. Wizards
7. Thunder
8. Raptors
9. Magic (from CHI)
10. Kings
11. Pelicans
12. Pacers
13. Warriors
14. Spurs
Unique to this year, there are two teams with multiple top ten selections (Thunder, Magic), and the Warriors have the opportunity to have two lottery picks should the Timberwolves’ selection fall out of the top-3.
This year there are several draft prospects to watch, most notably are the players in the top-5: Cade Cunningham, Jalen Suggs, Evan Mobley, Jalen Green, and Jonathan Kuminga.
With all of that said, let’s dive into the mock draft.
