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.

We have new picks from Jonathan Givony/ESPN, Keandre/Hoop Intellect, No Ceilings and Tankathon with the college basketball and the G League season starting up this week. 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.

[NBA Draft]: 2024 Mock Draft Comparison, October 2023 (updated 11/13)

October 9, 2023November 14, 2023 Eric Creighton

Update 11/13: Fresh mock draft out today from Sam Vecenie/The Athletic with some very interesting picks including Garwey Dual at #10 and Yves Missi at #19. He’s also a bit lower than consensus with the G League Ignite duo of Ron Holland at #3 and Izan Almansa at #15.

Update 11/10: We have updated picks this week from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report and a couple weeks ago from Tankathon, so I’m adding both to this post for the time being, until we have more for November at which time I’ll break off a new November-specific post. College basketball season is up and running, so we can expect a bunch of changes in the next month, including Ja’Kobe Walter moving up after his memorable showing in a win versus Auburn.

Update 10/6: Just one day after posting we have another new mock draft to add from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report who has Ron Holland, Alex Sarr and Matas Buzelis going in the first 3 picks, and Tyrese Proctor all the way up at #5. It looks like a couple of the teams picking might be off on this one this one: Boston traded their Warriors 2024 1st to the Blazers for Lillard and the Rockets pick was traded to OKC way back when with top 4 protection, so not sure what happened there.

NBA training camps are in session, pre-season games have begun, and a few updated mock drafts are out from Jonathan Givony/ESPN, Keandre/Hoop Intellect and yours truly at Hoops Distillery. There’s a huge amount of disagreement all around, as is typical at this time of year. But now having seen the G League Ignite exhibitions and some NBL game highlights there are certainly a few rising to the top.

Pick order is also very interesting at this stage because everyone is using different sources and/or has drastically different beliefs in who will be the worst teams in the league this year. The middle class in the East and West will be tighter than usual with so much talent across the board and even fewer teams than normal who aren’t fighting for the play-in tournament once again.

Note: I brought over the Tankathon draft power rankings from a couple of months ago because it has shifted with some of the trades that went through in the last month and is interesting to compare with the updated version. While Houston and San Antonio held strong, Portland is now in the mix after a slew of assets coming in from the Lillard and post-Lillard trades.

And just like that, the 2023 Draft is in the rearview mirror and our focus can start to shift to 2024 prospects. As is tradition each year, many of the top NBA Draft analysts release a mock draft within a few hours or days of the previous cycle ending in order to kick off the new season. This year we have mock drafts to compare by Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Bryan Kalbrosky/USA Today, Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation, and our friends at Tankathon. The pick order is different for these mock drafts based on varying NBA championship odds for the 2023-2024 season–and both O’Donnell and Wasserman did not even include actual teams, just pick numbers.

[NBA Draft]: Comparison of Actual 2023 Draft vs. Final Mock Drafts

We spend a lot of time following all of the top NBA Draft analysts for months as they post and tweet about intel and update their big boards and mock drafts leading up to draft day. But once that day comes and goes, it’s easy to shift focus to how the rookies will fit on their new rosters, summer league, and the next draft cycle, so I thought it might be nice to compile all of the final versions of these mock drafts and compare them to the actual 2023 draft order for easy reference in the future.

Here is the actual 2023 NBA Draft order versus the final mock drafts from Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Wasserman, ESPN’s Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony, USA Today’s Bryan Kalbrosky, SB Nation’s Ricky O’Donnell, The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor, and The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie and John Hollinger, Tankathon.com, and our own Hoops Distillery picks:
