6/18 update: New mock draft from Sam Vecenie (The Athletic) added this afternoon. See updated #mockdraftcomp and pick variance chart below. A couple interesting picks on this one, including Christian Anderson to Miami at #13 and Yaxel Lendeborg dropping to Chicago at #15.

Make sure to check out the stellar draft guides by Vecenie, No Ceilings, Kevin O’Connor (Yahoo Sports), and Kyle Mann and Danny Chau (The Ringer).

6/17 update: Added three more mock drafts from the No Ceilings crew and updates from Jonathan Wasserman (Bleacher Report), Kevin O’Connor (Yahoo Sports). We now have 11 total for June…and counting!

No Ceilings has Cam Carr going at #10 and Nate Ament way down at #25. Let that marinate for a bit! As a pure NBA fan, I’m loving the thought of their #5 to #10 picks going in that exact order with Mikel Brown to the Clippers, Acuff to the Nets, Flemings to the Kings, Wagler to the Hawks and then Carr to the Bucks.

Please note: Wass, KOC and Tankathon overwrite their previous mocks, so there’s only one link for those ones in the references links below. You’ll have to reference my mock draft comparison to see previous picks ;D.

6/16 update: Added two new mock drafts from Jeremy Woo (ESPN) and Tankathon. Things are heating up, to say the least! See updated #mockdraftcomp and pick variance chart below. Media smoke screens, mock draft group think, “watch out for X” trainer workout videos all coming in at a rapid pace.

Some random thoughts:

• Interesting news this week about Darryn Peterson only working out for the Wizards. To me, I read this as he doesn’t want to live in Utah as much as he desperately wants to be (and thinks he deserves to be) the #1 pick.
• Cam Boozer does make sense for the Jazz alongside JJJ, IF they trade Lauri Markkanen and reshape the roster a bit. I don’t see much about that possibility, but there are many teams that could shuffle the deck this offseason with Giannis, Trae Young, Jaylen Brown, Ja Morant, Austin Reaves (possible S&T), Domantis Sabonis, and De’Aaron Fox all potentially on the market and in the same general price range.
• Can we just get the Clippers’ punishment handed down already?! How are they supposed to know how to draft and navigate free agency this offseason if they don’t know what will happen? Trading down does make sense as they need more youth and upside on their roster, but if it were me, I would not pass up on Mikel Brown. 50-50 chance that he is seen as a top 3 player in this draft in 5 years, in my opinion.
• I’m seeing a bit more consensus among the rankings of the top point guards projected to go in the lottery, but now the confusion seems to have shifted to the second tier with Ebuka Okorie, BennettStirtz, Labaron Philon and Christian Anderson. “Confusion” probably isn’t the right word, as it’s just eye of the beholder stuff, but as you’ll see below in the pick variance chart, there’s quite a lot of disagreement about where those four will land.
• Sure seems like lots of teams want a big, strong 4 who can play both ends and shoot it, while being switchable, including Hornets, Spurs, Thunder, Bulls and Nets. This should bode real well for Morez Johnson and Yaxel Lendeborg. And maybe this even saves the day for Koa Peat after a disastrously ill-timed form tweak on his jumper. Could Zuby Ejiofor jump Peat?

Draft Month has arrived and team workouts are in full swing. On top of that, smokescreen season has come on strong with all types of misdirection leaked by teams and agents. And to top things off, we have a ton of trade rumors flying around which could reshape the power structure of the draft, not to mention team needs. As we sort through all of these things, we’ll look to the best of the best NBA Draft analysts for guidance via their latest mock drafts: Jonathan Wasserman (Bleacher Report), Kevin O’Connor (Yahoo Sports), Sam Vecenie (The Athletic), and Ricky O’Donnell (SB Nation). Plus, one from yours truly.

I’ll be back over the next two weeks with plenty of updates, notes, thoughts, and the next round—or two—of mock drafts as we head towards June 23 and 24, so bookmark the site, check back at your leisure, and follow me @hoopsdistillery on Twitter, where you can search #mockdraftcomp for all current and past updates
