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.
