4/23 update: Updated mock draft from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN. Zach Edey moving up to #11 on this one, and Stephon Castle moving up to #8. Updated (and sortable) pick variance chart below.

ICYMI: On 4/22 tiebreakers of teams with identical regular-season records were broken through random drawings to determine the order for this year’s draft prior to the lottery [via Hoops Rumors].

With these tiebreakers completed, the draft power rankings shifted a bit too [via Tankathon]:

4/11 update: More new mock drafts to compare, including Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation, Tankathon, the No Ceilings crew, and a fresh one from me at Hoops Distillery. While most of the March Madness heroes have moved up,

I shifted the G League Ignite crew back to the top of my mock draft. I think Ron Holland and Matas Buzelis will wow execs in workouts and both have as much, if not more, star upside than anyone else–and at a position of super high value on the wing. I’m buying into Holland’s jumper, plus he is a two-way player which will make him helpful from day one. O’Donnell has Holland at #3 as well, so I can’t be totally crazy.

And as much as the Spurs need a point guard, Buzelis is too valuable to pass up on–and he himself is a point forward, although Ignite coaches didn’t give him an opportunity to show it. Could we see another experiment by Pop with Buzelis instead of Sochan while the Spurs tank for Cooper Flagg in the 2025 draft? Wouldn’t surprise anyone. All that being said, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Spurs go for Stephon Castle.

April has arrived with fresh picks and intel from the highly entertaining March Madness games. We have new mock drafts to compare from Tankathon, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, and Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN. Time to study up with Final Four weekend upon us!

We’re seeing Donovan Clingan jump up into the high lottery after a dominant showing by UCONN thus far. Dalton Knecht and Zach Edey have also moved up on this round of mock drafts after putting up huge numbers in high stakes games. Stephon Castle even moved up to #2 on KOC’s mock. On the flipside, Ja’Kobe Walter is dropping a bit, and there seems to be some mixed opinions on Zaccharie Risacher after a run of poor shooting in the French league.

Keep checking back as I’ll be updating this post throughout the month and follow me on Twitter and Instagram at @hoopsdistillery.
