1/31 update: Two new mock drafts to finish off the month, including Tankathon, and the first for 2025 from Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation. O’Donnell has Edgecombe going #3 to the Pelicans. Both have Fears moving up into the top 10. And O’Donnell, interestingly, has Traore way down at #18 and Demin even further down at #23.

1/15 update: I just added an updated mock from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report. He has Jeremiah Fears moving all the way up to #6. Also, some amazing food for thought from the picks he has for teams with multiple 1sts: Jazz selecting Jakucionis and Demin (Danny Ainge might immediately die on the spot from the joy of having two jumbo point guards with high IQ like that!), OKC selecting Maluach and Queen to help their frontline, along with Hugo Gonzalez.

Happy New Year! We’re back with brand new mock drafts to compare from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN, Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, No Ceilings, Tankathon, and your truly.

There’s been lots of movement since last month, including Jeremiah Fears and Thomas Sorber cementing their position in the first round. Enthusiasm for Egor Demin has cooled after a few sub par games, while Kasparas Jakucionis is moving up into the top 5 picks after his strong play for an overachieving Illinois team.

Keep checking back as I’ll be updating this post throughout the month and/or follow @hoopsdistillery on Twitter for update alerts.

Also, ICYMI:

Bobby Marks from ESPN had a nice analysis of who controls the draft over the next seven years.

Some great highlights and analysis of top prospects from the No Ceilings crew on their YouTube channel and also from Keandre Ashley on the Hoop Intellect channel.
