3/28 update: The month is almost over, but we have two new mock drafts to add to the pool–updated picks from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report and Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer. Wass has Ron Holland up at #4 and finally bought into Stephon Castle who has moved up to #8. He also has Jared McCain and Terrence Shannon going back to back at #11 and #12. KOC has Cody Williams moving up to #4 and Zach Edey at #12, while Reed Sheppard (#1 on his last mock) and Rob Dillingham (#8 on his last mock) have moved down to #9 and #11, respectively. He also has Kyle Filipowski way down at #25.

3/26 update: New mock draft from the Jeremy Woo + Jonathan Givony/ESPN with some very interesting picks after the 1st two rounds of the tournament, including Donovan Clingan going #5, Dalton Knecht at #8, Isaiah Collier at #10 and Zach Edey at #14. They are sticking with Risacher at #1 and Topic in the top 4 as well.

3/20 update: Added four new mock drafts to the post today including picks from Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, Tankathon, Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation, as well as my own. We now have 7 total to compare–and I’ve updated my pick variance chart to help. There’s a variety of different pick orders across these mock drafts so make sure to take that into account. Based on pick order, it’s easy to see how certain players in the top 10 will shift up or down. The Spurs, Rockets, Pistons, and Hornets arguable need more guard help, while the Wizards, Blazers and Bulls need bigs or wings.

We’re back once again with the March edition of the mock draft comparison with all new picks from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, and the No Ceilings crew. KOC says he’ll be posting updates once a week with a (Tankathon sim) pick order, while Wass seems to be posting updates every two weeks.

Reed Sheppard has vaulted into the top five, and as high as the #1 pick for KOC. While the two biggest risers appear to be Devin Carter and Kel’el Ware, after some impressive performances to end the regular season. Meanwhile, Ja’Kobe Water has dropped down to the 13-16 range, and Johnny Furphy‘s momentum seems to have cooled off as well, moving down to the bottom half of the first round.

3/26 update: New boards from Keandre/Hoop Intellect and Tankathon to compare with the first grouping. Keandre has Ron Holland all the way up at #2!

Fresh big boards have arrived for March. We have boards from Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, No Ceilings and Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony/ESPN. Alex Sarr and Zaccharie Risacher still firmly at the top, while Rob Dillingham and Reed Sheppard have moved up across the board. And still seeing lots of disagreement on Ron Holland and Stephon Castle.

[NBA Draft]: 2024 Mock Draft Comparison, February (updated 2/24)

February 16, 2024March 21, 2024 Eric Creighton

2/24 update: Added updated mock drafts from Tankathon and Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report and the first one this month from Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation. Some very interesting picks here including Tankathon who has Tidjane Salaun all the way up at #8 and Wasserman who has Devin Carter at #11. O’Donnell is the only one left with Nikola Topic at #1, has Rob Dillingham moving up to #3, and is still lower than consensus on Zaccharie Risacher (#6) and Cody Williams (at #9). Also, seems like Collin Murray-Boyles and Izan Almansa have entered the conversation as late first round picks.

2/20 update: Two new mock drafts this morning from three of the best: Sam Vecenie/The Athletic and Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN. We now have lots to compare and it’s easy to see some of the debates emerging: Vecenie has Stephon Castle all the way up at #5 while Givony/Woo have Rob Dillingham at #3 and Zach Edey at #13. Vecenie also has Jaylon Tyson and DaRon Holmes going in the 20’s while Givony/Woo have Izan Almansa and Juan Nunez. Also, looks like Givony/Woo are pumping the brakes on Johnny Furphy and Kyshawn George, while Vecenie has them in the top 16. Also, notable is Jared McCain who seems to have solidified his position in the 1st round after his recent 35 point outburst.

February came quickly, and with it came new mock drafts to compare and analyze from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, the No Ceilings crew, Tankathon, and yours truly at Hoops Distillery.

Zaccharie Risacher has vaulted himself into the top pick on some boards and top 3 on all of them, while Ron Holland and Matas Buzelis have stabilized a bit with some solid performances in a few G League Ignite wins. Johnny Furphy and Kyshawn George are the two who have made a major jump this month after some great outings for Kansas and Miami, respectively. No Ceilings was high enough on Furphy to put him #8 to Houston. And George does look like an intriguing pick that OKC or Orlando would bite on if given the chance. Also of interest: Wasserman had Stephon Castle at #27 on 1/31 but has moved him up to a more reasonable #15 as of mid-month after playing more consistently for UCONN.

The landscape for bigs has shifted quite a bit in a month’s time as well. Donovan Clingan being sidelines due to injury has brough back doubts about his health to the forefront. And Kel’el Ware and Aaron Bradshaw have dropped after some average to poor outings. Meanwhile, Yves Missi has played very well, and so has Kyle Filipowski (minus his precipitous three-point shooting) and Zach Edey for the most part.

Keep checking back as I’ll be updating this post throughout the month.

[NBA Draft]: 2024 Big Board Comparison, January (updated 1/31)

January 9, 2024February 4, 2024 Eric CreightonLeave a comment

1/31 update: One more big board before we close out the month. This one is the first for Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer as part of their NBA Draft Guide. He has Cody Williams up at #2 and Kevin McCullar at #9.

1/13 update: New board added from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report. Some interesting picks on this one with Nikola Topic at #1, Yves Missi at #11, Ulrich Chomche at #14, and KJ Simpson at #19.

2024 has arrived with new boards from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN, Tankathon and the No Ceilings team. There seems to be consensus top group for the most part which includes Alex Sarr, Nikola Topic, Cody Williams, Zaccharie Risacher, Ja’Kobe Walter and one, or both, of Ron Holland and Matas Buzelis. After the lottery its a complete free-for-all and very interesting to compare the differing opinions amongst these picks.

There are some fascinating positional battles that are starting to form, especially with the centers grouping of Donovan Clingan, Aaron Bradshaw, Yves Missi, Zach Edey, and Kel’el Ware. As usual, it’s all in the eye of the beholder!

[NBA Draft]: 2024 Mock Draft Comparison, January (updated 1/30)

January 9, 2024February 24, 2024 Eric Creighton

1/30 update: Updated mock added today for Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report who still has Alex Sarr in the #1 spot and seems to be very high on Yves Missi.

1/24 update: Two more new ones–this time from Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer and Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation. O’Donnell has Nikola Topic at the top and Matas Buzelis at #2, while O’Connor has Zaccharie Risacher at #1 and Alex Sarr going second. Interestingly at pick 15 to Orlando, O’Donnell has Jared McCain and O’Connor has Dalton Knecht.

1/13 update: Two new mock drafts added today from Jonathan Givony + Jeremy Woo/ESPN and also the No Ceilings crew. Both have Tidjane Salaun moving up into the top 7. And No Ceilings also has Reed Sheppard going 3rd to the Wizards.

As we move into conference play, we have a fresh batch of mock drafts to kick off the new year, including Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Rafael and James Barlowe/NBA Big Board, Tankathon, and yours truly at Hoops Distillery.

Sadly, or maybe interestingly, depending on how you look at it, there’s still no players setting themselves apart for the 1st pick. And all of a sudden we have another wave of injuries with Nikola Topic, Donovan Clingan, and Alex Sarr on the deck for their respective teams. From the college ranks, Reed Sheppard may be the only consistent performer of the group and is now firmly in the top 15 across these mocks. Zaccharie Risacher and Tidjane Salaun are also two names to watch that have steadily moved up the boards after continuing to play well in France.

Draft power rankings (via Tankathon) have shifted greatly as well with Oklahoma City moving way up based on the current standings. Memphis suffered a big blow this week with Ja Morant‘s torn labrum this week and now we can expect that they’ll officially move into the tanking group along with Portland, Washington, Charlotte, Detroit and San Antonio. The trade deadline is one month away, so it will be fascinating to see if any other underperforming teams decide to step back or step up (see Chicago, Utah, Atlanta).

Keep checking back as I’ll be updating this post throughout the month.

[NBA Draft]: 2024 Big Board Comparison, December 2023

December 23, 2023February 24, 2024 Eric Creighton

2024 is coming to a close, but not without another big board comparison. We have new boards from Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony/ESPN, Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, Keandre/Hoop Intellect and our friends at Tankathon. Everything is still very fluid with plenty of time left in the college basketball, G League, NBL, Euro Leagues seasons. For the time being, nobody has really set themselves apart to form a clear cut top 5–although Nikola Topic and Cody Williams are making a run for it. Matas Buzelis had a bit of momentum, sparking some W’s for G League Ignite after returning from injury, only to reverse course during the teams mediocre showing at the G League Showcase. Alex Sarr might be in the lead for now, but he has the advantage of playing on the other side of the globe in limited minutes versus a Isaiah Collier or Ron Holland who will both have to take a lot of credit for their team’s losses.

[NBA Draft]: 2024 Mock Draft Comparison, December 2023

December 17, 2023January 9, 2024 Eric Creighton

After a great stretch of college non-conference play, we’re back with new mock drafts for December to compare, including Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN, Tankathon, and your truly at Hoops Distillery. There’s a decent amount of contrast amongst these mock drafts (as always) in terms players, but also in terms of construction–while O’Donnell put his together using a best player available approach, my mock draft went completely off of player fit.

There’s already quite a lot of movement and debate as to who should go #1 with Topic, Sarr, Holland and Collier currently in the mix. Meanwhile, Stephon Castle and Matas Buzelis are back from injury, and while Castle is easing back in, Buzelis immediately sparked a small winning streak for the G League Ignite. Cody Williams has had some great games for Colorado before going down with a recent wrist injury. And Bronny James is back, but USC is floundering a bit so far. Lots happening and lots to keep an eye on as the season progresses.

Keep checking back as I’ll be updating this post throughout the month.

[NBA Draft]: 2024 Mock Draft Comparison, November 2023

November 30, 2023November 30, 2023 Eric Creighton

After a few weeks of digesting college and international games we have a fresh batch of mock drafts to compare, including Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN and Tankathon, Still lots of disagreement across the lottery with some injuries and underwhelming play from top prospects. While Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham have wowed everyone in various Kentucky games, Nikola Topic and Zaccharie Risacher are turning heads overseas. Others like Stephon Castle and Matas Buzelis are injured and haven’t played in a while. There’s still many more months to digest all of this, but in the meantime, these picks get the wheels turning as potential targets for the NBA soon-to-be tankers who have also emerged….or should I say submerged.

Ron Holland, Matas Buzelis, Justin Edwards, Isaiah Collier and Alex Sarr seem to be locked in to the top 5 across these boards, with the exception of No Ceilings, who has Stephon Castle and Ja’Kobe Walter in that group.
