3/31 update: New mock draft update from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report added this morning. He has Edgecombe jumping Bailey into the #3 spot, Jakucionis dropping all the way to #12, and the Jazz grabbing both Flagg at #1 and Egor Demin at #18 (Danny Ainge may have more heart problems from pure joy and retire instantly if this happens!).

Also, was lucky to catch the updated mock at Tankathon and added that to the comp as well!

3/29 update: Two new mock drafts added for a total of nine this month! We have an updated board from Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation and also the first mock from Kevin O’Connor/Yahoo Sports as part of his newly launched draft guide.

KOC and O’Donnell both have Derik Queen all the way up at #5 to the Sixers, while O’Connor has Nique Clifford at #13 to the Hawks, and Tahaad Pettiford going #30 to the Clippers.

For SB Nation, O’Donnell has shifted Jeremiah Fears moving up to #6 to the Nets and Nolan Traore at #15 to the Magic, with Liam McNeeley dropping all the way to #25 to the Magic.

3/20 update: We have another new mock draft to add to the mix today from Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation. He has Khaman Maluach at #3 to the Hornets, jumping Ace Bailey and VJ Edgecombe. He also has Noa Essengue up in the lottery at #11, Kasparas Jakucionis dropping to the Bulls at #10 and Liam McNeeley and Nolan Traore way down in the 20’s. Walter Clayton even makes a 1st round appearance in this one at #27 to the Nets!

3/19 update: New picks from Sam Vecenie/The Athletic added below. We now have six mock draft to compare for this month! Vecenie has VJ Edgecombe at #3 over Ace Bailey, stating the better fit for the Hornets. He also has Thomas Sorber going at #12 to Houston jumping Khaman Maluach who he has at #14 to Atlanta. Then, to top things off, he has Nique Clifford rising all the way to #15 to Orlando.

3/17 update: I added our sortable/searchable pick variance chart to analyze the draft range for each prospect. Interesting how many lottery prospects have a very narrow range being so far out from the draft day in June!

March Madness has finally arrived! And with it, a fresh set of mock drafts from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, No Ceilings, Tankathon, and your truly. As conference tournaments come to a close, it looks like we may have seen the last of Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey. But thankfully, the majority of projected lottery picks will be playing at least a few more high level games.

Amongst these mocks, the biggest change we see from last month is that Tre Johnson has moved up into the top six across the board after some strong games to close the SEC season. Derik Queen and Jase Richardson are also moving up and both seem to be firmly in the lottery. With the exception of the No Ceilings crew, Kasparas Jakucionis has dropped down a bit, and so have Ben Saraf and Asa Newell.

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