6/25 update: NBA.com draft trade tracker has been updated. I also added this to the the links on my NBA Draft page. Also, just posted my final mock drafts vs. actual picks post.

6/23 update: (update 6): One more update–this time from Jeremy Woo/Sports Illustrated. Christian Braun moving up in a few of these updates, as is Andrew Nembhard. Vecenie and Pennie going live at 7:45 pm EST on YouTube.

(update 5): Sam Vecenie/The Athletic and Tankathon just posted updates. Rumors swirling about Thybulle trades. Blazers and Hawks working to make roster moves. Kyrie setting NBA Twitter ablaze. It’s all happening.

(update 4) Newly updated mock from Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, plus I grabbed the updated picks from Tankathon that were posted last night. Lots of different opinions on the order picks within the 8-30 range.

(update 3) Second update of the day from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report with some movement in the last 1st. Also, fresh update from Bryan Kalbrosky/USA Today, who also did a great podcast with Coach Spins (@TheBoxandOne_) last night.

(update 2) Updated mock draft posted from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report. Looks like he only has movement in the 20’s, but some interesting intel, including that Jeremy Sochan worked out for the Kings, showing they have considered moving down.

(update 1) Draft Day has arrived! Mock drafts with few changes but lots of new intel and trade rumors will be coming quick throughout the day. This morning I have updated picks from Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express and Jeremy Woo/Sports Illustrated with most movement in the mid-lottery and in the 20’s.

6/22 update: (update 3) Fresh intel from Jeremy Woo/Sports Illustrated, and we now have 24 confirmed Green Room invites:

(update 2) Updated lottery picks in Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express‘s mock draft a few minutes ago. Keegan Murray and Ben Mathurin flip flopped, and he now has Dyson Daniels to the Blazers at 7, Ousmane Dieng to Pelicans at 8, and Shaedon Sharpe to the Spurs at 10.

(update 1) Woke up to see an updated mock draft from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report and a new mock draft from one of our favs, John Hollinger/The Athletic. Hollinger was also on the No Dunks pod yesterday talking draft with the guys–very entertaining listen! Another great Please Don’t Aggregate This pod not miss from yesterday from Jake Fischer and Jeremy Woo taking draft questions and sharing intel.

6/21 update: (update 3) Bryan Kalbrosky/USA Today posted an updated mock draft this morning. As opposed to the reporting last week that Mathurin may be the one moving up, Kalbrosky had intel that the Pacers may have fallen in love with Dyson Daniels after “one of the best workouts they have ever seen.” He also has Shaedon Sharpe dropping to OKC at 12.

(update 2) New mock draft posted by Sam Vecenie/The Athletic. He also posted his 90,000+ word Draft Guide which is an amazing piece of work, so make sure to check that out too. Also, ICYMI, John Hollinger/The Athletic posted a new piece with his Top-75 and draft tiers–always a must read!

(update 1) Freshly updated mock draft from Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express this morning–hasn’t even been tweeted out yet! Lots of juicy trade rumors in this one including everyone and their mother trying to pry away the #4 pick from the Kings. Hawks may be dangling John Collins + Kevin Huerter for 4, according to Givony.

6/20 update: Some very interesting, new picks from Jeremy Woo/Sports Illustrated this morning, who has Jalen Williams going 14 to the Cavs, Wendell Moore going 19 to Minny, and TyTy Washington going to Philly at 23. He also points out that the Thunder and Hawks are now the most likely trade partners for the Blazers 7th pick.

6/17 update: Updated mock draft from Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer. Mathurin moving up to #5 and OKC, Houston and Denver all trying to trade up — I’m loving this! Updated tables below.

6/15 update: (update 2) Added sortable pick variance chart to analyze draft range across all of our featured mock drafts for the top prospects

(update 1) Another trade–and new picks from Tankathon! Houston now owns the 26th pick after trading Christian Wood to Dallas. Updated mock draft comparison below. Givony updated the 26th pick description in his latest ESPN mock draft pick but kept MarJon Beauchamp as the pick.

6/14 update: Updated mock drafts released this morning from Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, and Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation. Ben Mathurin moving up after pre-draft workouts.

6/13 update: New picks today from Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer via their NBA Draft Guide

Also, the Nuggets just made a trade with OKC to acquire the 30th pick in the 1st round:

Draft month has arrived which means mock draft updates will be coming quickly. I’ll be updating this page every time that new picks are posted leading up to the big day on June 23rd. We can expect updated picks next week and, for some, again the week of the draft based on new intel from team workouts, interviews, and medicals that have been happening over the last few weeks. For now, we have new picks from Jeremy Woo/Sports Illustrated, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express, Bryan Kalbrosky/USA Today, Tankathon.

This mock draft comp also features the debut of the Hoops Distillery 1st round picks. In order to get your wheels turning as you analyze the chaos that could ensue on draft day, I tried to make realistic picks based on team needs that strayed from the consensus, in order to serve up some artisanal food for thought based on what teams could do, but not what they should do. In the end, it looks like there could easily be a few trades that turn all of the mock drafts upside down, but also make for a highly entertaining evening.

Since the May mock draft comparison post, there was also some movement on the 23rd pick (in case your missed it):

Draft season is now in full session, as we have the official order of picks from the beloved NBA Draft Lottery. And with that, a full round of new mock drafts from the best of the best, including Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, Jeremy Woo/Sports Illustrated, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express, Sam Vecenie/The Athletic and Bryan Kalbrosky/USA Today, Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation, and Tankathon.

All of these picks were made prior to the NBA Draft Combine this week, so I would suspect that updated versions will be out this week or next, with guys like Terquavion Smith and Jalen Williams solidly in the first round after their impressive performances.

The biggest mover this month was Ousmane Dieng, who went from the 18 to 30 range up to the 12 to 17 range, as draft analysts suspect that he could be this year’s upside homerun swing for teams picking in the middle of the 1st round. Lots of movement in the 18 to 30 range this month too, as Duke starters have made their way back into the late 1st round, with both Wendell Moore and Trevor Keels perceived as high-floor guys. Leonard Miller, Jake LaRavia, and Bryce McGowens are on many mocks as well, while Jean Montero, Ismael Kamagate and Christian Koloko haved moved into the 30 to 40 range.

If I’m missing any mocks that you feel belong alongside the ‘All-NBA level’ draft analysts I currently include, leave a comment or DM me on Twitter.

Post March Madness + NBA playoff time = early entry commitments and the start of pre-draft workouts. And with that, we have new 1st round picks to compare from Jeremy Woo/Sports Illustrated, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express, and Rafael Barlowe/NBA Big Board.

The top four that has been in place for a few months has now become a top five with Keegan Murray going to Indiana at #5 across all of these mocks. Shaedon Sharpe who has now officially declared for the draft is firmly in the #6 to #8 range. Dyson Daniels seems to be making a move up some mocks, as does Malaki Branham, while draft analysts are cooling a bit on AJ Griffin and TyTy Washington. There’s lots of pick variance on Ousmane Dieng and Nikola Jovic, as everyone continues to watch tape and compare them to domestic prospects. It also feels like Patrick Baldwin and Jaden Hardy could quickly jump back into the #15-20 range, as they still both have very high (perceived) ceilings even after highly disappointing seasons.

I wanted to send a special shout out to Chad Ford, who retired this month and passed the reigns over to Rafael at NBA Big Board. Chad’s draft wisdom, enthusiasm, and intel will be sorely missed moving forward. He’s been a true inspiration to so many draft analysts and draft enthusiasts and we’ll always be indebted to all of his hard work.

There will be more mock drafts posted in the coming weeks, so make sure to check back for updates and follow me at @hoopsdistillery on Twitter for update notifications. And remember, if you ever want to look back to see what the picks looked like a month ago or 6 months ago, you can always find them here.

4/9 update: Added new picks from Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express and Bryan Kalbrosky/USA Today which I had missed on Twitter from late March. Kalbrosky has Malachi Branham at #10 and very interesting 20-30 range which includes Terquavion Smith at #21, while Givony has Ousmane Dieng at #18.

4/2 update: New picks added from Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, who has Mathurin jumping Griffin at #6 (a much safer pick for the Kings), Sochan at #9, and Dyson Daniels and Mark Williams moving into the lottery.

After two weeks of March Madness, the next round of mock drafts have been released and are ready to put head to head. I’ve added 1st round picks from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, Tankathon, Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express, and Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation. Keegan Murray seems to have jumped Johnny Davis. Jeremy Sochan and Tari Eason are now lottery picks across the board, while TyTy Washington and Kendall Brown have moved down a bit. Also, Kennedy Chandler has reappeared as a consensus first round pick after Tennessee’s tourney run, and Mark Williams has jumped Walker Kessler on some mocks, thanks to his impressive play for Duke.

In case you missed previous #mockdraftcomp’s, I’ve added a new sortable chart showing the pick variance for the top prospects across the mock drafts, to save everyone a bit of time. The results are becoming even more interesting as we compare month over month and see that there is agreement forming across draft analysts on the top 10 picks.

There will be more mock drafts posted in the coming weeks, so make sure to check back for updates and follow me at @hoopsdistillery on Twitter for update notifications. If I’m missing any mocks that you feel belong alongside the ‘All-NBA level’ draft analysts I currently include, leave a comment or DM me on Twitter.

3/7 update: Fresh update with pick released in the last week from Tankathon.com and Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report. Shaedon Sharpe included in both of these and Malaki Branham entering the 1st round conversation.

2/24 update: New picks added from Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express. EJ Liddell and Ousmane Dieng are both in his top 20, while Jeremy Sochan and Patrick Baldwin are in the 25-30 range.

With March Madness on the horizon, some very interesting mock drafts were released last week from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, and Chad Ford/NBA Big Board, and not surprisingly, there’s been a lot of movement. While Vecenie is refraining from adding Shaedon Sharpe until he confirms he’ll enter the draft, the others have him going in the 5-7 range. AJ Griffin has moved up to a consensus top 6 pick, TyTy Washington, a consensus top 10 pick, and Walker Kessler has solidified his position in the first round.

Also notable, are the changes tides with Duke’s prospects over the last month: Mark Williams has moved up into the mid-to-late first range, while his fellow teammates Wendell Moore and Trevor Keels are not even picked to go in the 1st round on two of these three mock drafts. Same goes for Kennedy Chandler, who analysts have cooled on quite on a bit.

In case you missed my last #mockdraftcomp, I’ve added a new sortable chart showing the pick variance for the top prospects across the mock drafts, to save everyone a bit of time.

There will be more mock drafts posted in the coming weeks, so make sure to check back for updates and follow me at @hoopsdistillery on Twitter for update notifications.

January 30 update: Fresh 1st round mock draft from Jonathan Givony/ESPN and top 15 picks from Chad Ford/NBA Big Board–both of which include Shaedon Sharpe.

January 13 update: New picks added from Jeremy Woo/Sports Illustrated and Tankathon.com.

Happy New Year to everyone–here’s to a healthy, non-mask wearing 2022, without players in health and safety protocols or game cancellations!

A fresh round of mock drafts were released last week from Bleacher Report/Jonathan Wasserman, The Athletic/Sam Vecenie, and Bryan Kalbrosky/USA Today, so I wanted to create a new post that helped us compare and analyze all of them. Although the picks have changed a good amount since mid-to-late December, I opted to leave the 12/22 ESPN picks from Jonathan Givony until they post an updated version.

Big movers included Wisconsin’s Johnny Davis, who was amazing in a few games, most notably in a big W against Purdue, in which he went head to head with (consensus #4 pick (for the time being) and fellow top SG prospect) Jaden Ivey. Tari Eason from LSU and Keegan Murray from Iowa are also on the rise, while hype seems to have cooled off a bit on Trevor Keels and Jaden Hardy after some subpar performances. Newcomers to the 1st round, for us to keep an eye on, include Blake Wesley from Notre Dame and Jeremy Sochan from Baylor.

In case you missed my last #mockdraftcomp, I’ve added a new sortable chart showing the pick variance for the top prospects across the mock drafts, to save everyone a bit of time. And as you’ll see the overall variance has decreased quite a bit in just a month’s time. Some of the numbers are thrown off a bit by the aforementioned ESPN picks, as Johnny Davis, for example, was #16 way back, two weeks ago–a level he will most likely never go back to unless he steal laptops, borrows money from Penny Hardaway, and/or has a couple of DUIs next month.

There will be more mock drafts posted in the coming weeks, so make sure to check back for updates and follow me at @hoopsdistillery on Twitter for update notifications. If I’m missing any mocks that you feel belong alongside the ‘All-NBA level’ draft analysts I currently include, leave a comment or DM me on Twitter.
