3/28 update: Two new mock drafts added today–2nd update this month from Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, as well as Sam Vecenie/The Athletic. KOC has moved up Taylor Hendricks to #8 pick to the Wizards, while Vecenie has him going at #9 to the Magic. Other notable picks include KOC with Noah Clowney going #14 to the Lakers, and Vecenie with Jordan Hawkins going #12 to OKC and Dereck Lively going #14 to the Lakers.

I also re-updated the pick variance chart, and as you’ll see, variance for many prospects increased with opinions shifting from the start to the end of the month.

3/17 update: Updated mock drafts this week from Tankathon, Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation, and Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report. I also added my updated mock draft to the mix, with both Thompson twins going to the Magic (we all know John Hammond wants this!). Wasserman has Taylor Hendricks all the way up at #10 and Kobe Bufkin at #14 in his updated mock. Lots of buzz this week about Brandon Miller overtaking Scoot for the #2 pick, but Scoot is still at #2 across the board. Interestingly, O’Donnell has Amen Thompson going #3 and Brandon Miller #4 (similar to Kalbrosky’s mock). Time to let all of this marinate while watching another great day of March Madness from 12 to 12.

I also added our pick variance chart for March. Pretty easy to see that there is a decent amount of consensus across our mock drafts for the guys who will go in the lottery, but lots of disagreement about who goes where in the 15 to 30 range. Jett Howard is mocked to go anywhere from 12 to 28, while Jalen Hood-Schifino has a wide range from 12 to 27.

March has arrived, and with it, a new batch of mock drafts to compare and analyze including picks from Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express, Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, and Bryan Kalbrosky/USA Today. With the college season, OTE and G League winding down, there’s been quite a bit of movement. Jalen Hood-Schifino is now considered a late lottery pick across the board after playing some very impressive games as part of a late season run for Indiana. Sidy Cissoko and Leonard Miller are also gaining a bit of momentum, moving into the 20’s on a few of these new mocks. Meanwhile, Maxwell Lewis and Terquavion Smith have dropped to the mid-to-late 20’s for most, with some uninspiring play as of late. Also notable, Wasserman and Givony seem to be cooling on GG Jackson, who they now have in the 20’s.

There have been some really entertaining draft discussions on podcasts over the past couple of weeks including:

2/16 update: I knew more mock drafts were coming, but not this soon! Tankathon updated his picks just hours after I posted this #mockdraftcomp and then Sam Vecenie/The Athletic released his today. Vecenie has Jalen Hood-Schifino way up at #15 and Kobe Bufkin at #28. He also has Terquavion Smith dropping way down to the bottom of the 1st round and Nick Smith moving down to the late lottery. Lots to think about and analyze, as always To make that analysis a bit easier, I updated the pick variance chart. Not surprisingly, there’s high variance across the mid-lottery guys whose value differ greatly across mocks.

Sending good vibes and all of our support to Jeremy Woo who got laid off by Sports Illustrated yesterday, along with a bunch of other awesome writers (even one of my fav’s, Howard Beck!). All I can say is…it’s THEIR loss! We’ll be looking forward to Jeremy landing somewhere good soon, so he can pick up where he left off with his all-star level draft analysis.

The February mock drafts are here and so far, we have picks from Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express and two from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report who seems to be updating his mock every two weeks. Plus, I added our Hoops Distillery updated mock draft. Little to no fluctuation in production for Wemby or Scoot this month. Jarace Walker is moving up the boards after a run of great games proving his great versatility, and Brandon Miller seems to be solidly in the 3 to 5 range after Alabama’s run to #1 in the country. Meanwhile, Nick Smith was back in action this week for Arkansas, and Dereck Lively came back onto draft radars after a stellar performance against UNC.

Shout out to Tankathon‘s ‘box ‘Prospect Game Logs‘ page. If you haven’t checked this out, it’s a great tool, for those of us who are tight on time. What becomes a bit frustrating with the ESPN.com box scores is that it can be sorted it by either top 25 or by conference, but as teams move in and out of the top 25 it’s easy to miss a game or two.

Also, I highly recommend this post from @deanondraft called The Downside of Upside if you’re looking for some good food for thought as we approach the heart of draft season. Reading this immediately made me think of Gradey Dick, who most have going in the 10-15 range. Due to his size, basketball IQ and elite shooting he has a very high floor, but as @deanondraft points out, that does not mean he doesn’t also have a high ceiling. Based on this, would any of us really be surprised if he ends up the 3-5th best player in this draft over guys like Nick Smith, Cam Whitmore, or the Thompson twins? They all have less size, less production, less definable skills than Dick, but still have the perception of having higher ceilings based on more elite athleticism.

1/19 update: Three new mock drafts added today: 1st 2023 mock draft from Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation, two week update from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, and the launch of the 2023 Ringer draft guide from Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer. I also added the first pick variation chart for the 2023 draft so we can start to see the expected draft range for the top picks. As is typical at this time of year, there’s a high variance for the 27 top prospects I included — 8.7 currently! In contrast to some of the other mock drafts, the three I added today, all have Kel’el Ware going mid-first round and two of three have Noah Clowney in that range too. Also of note is that O’Donnell seems to agreeanalyst to agree with Jeremy Woo and Sam Vecenie about Keyonte George going late lottery. Also, lots of disagreement about where Anthony Black should be picked across the board.

1/16 update: New 2-round mock draft from Tankathon–1st round picks added here. He has Brandon Miller going at #3 to the Pistons, the Thompson twins back-to-back at #4 and #5, and Brice Sensabaugh all the way up at #14 to the Hawks.

1/13 update: I’ve added fresh 1st round picks for Sam Vecenie/The Athletic and Jeremy Woo/Sports Illustrated. Both have Nick Smith dropping to the #9 spot due to his current injury issues and lack of opportunity to showcase his skills. Woo has some very interesting picks that differ from the rest of the pack including Anthony Black going at #3 to Houston, Amen Thompson dropping to #6 for Charlotte, Keyonte George dropping to #16 with the Clippers, and Rayan Rupert jumping him at #13 to the Jazz. Also, I slightly updated my own mock draft, as I totally forgot to include GG Jackson in my original version.

1/8 update: New 1st round picks added for Bryan Kalbrosky/USA Today and Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, as well as our first mock draft of 2023! Jett Howard and Maxwell Lewis now firmly entrenched in the top half of the 1st round, Colby Jones in the middle of the 1st round, and Ricky Council towards the end of the 1st round.

It’s time to break away from the highly erratic early season mock drafts as team records are starting to settle out a bit, giving us a better feel for which teams will be in the lottery. So far this month, we have three new mock drafts to compare, including Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, and Tankathon. After some impressive games in the non-conference play, some new names have popped into the first round across the board, including Ohio State’s Brice Sensabaugh, Alabama’s Noah Clowney, UCF’s Taylor Hendricks, and Pepperdine’s Maxwell Lewis. The biggest riser of all appears to be Michigan’s Jett Howard, who Wasserman and Givony have going at #10 (Tankathon has at #15).

12/9 update: Another updated 2-round mock draft from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report. In this one Orlando has the #1 pick and grabs some guy named ‘Victor Wembanyama‘ as well as Ausar Thompson at #6.

12/2 update: New mock drafts added from Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express and Tankathon. Givony has Ausar Thompson moving up to #5 to OKC after releasing video of his improved shooting stroke, and Dariq Whitehead dropping down to #10 pick from Orlando. Meanwhile, Tankathon has Brandon Miller going #3 to the Pistons. Now that we’ve moved into December, I added an extra table below that shows mock comparisons (Dec/Nov vs Oct) of ESPN vs ESPN, B/R vs B/R and Tankathon vs Tankathon to picks have shifted for that particular draft analyst.

11/25 update: Updated 2-round mock draft from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report who has Anthony Black going #6 to the Spurs and Derek Lively dropping all the way to #23 to the Clippers.

11/18 update: Fresh picks from Jeremy Woo/Sports Illustrated and Tankathon to add to October’s mock draft comparison. Lots of contrast across lottery picks starting at #3–Woo has Nick Smith while everyone else has Amen Thompson. At #5 we see Woo went with Jarace Walker, while Tankathon has Dariq Whitehead–everyone else went with Whitmore.

10/27 update: New mock draft added from Sam Vecenie/The Athletic who has some very interesting picks, including Cam Whitmore going #5 to Houston and also Tyrese Proctor going #13 to the Knicks.

And….we’re back! A new season is upon us, and after an unforgettable Scoot vs. Wemby showcase in Las Vegas, the NBA back in full gear, and college ball about to start up, we have new picks to compare from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express, and Tankathon. Not surprisingly, there’s lots of disagreement on who will go where in the back half of the lottery. The bottom line: this draft is stacked! There’s been so much commentary after the first two weeks of the NBA season about the talent level never being higher in the league, and I don’t think that’s even debatable. But looking at these 2023 picks, I already have a nervous twitch of joy imagining these guys being added to the mix–especially with glut of wings that so many teams are endlessly searching for.

Since Tankathon constantly updates pick order based on current NBA records, I left teams out for his picks, as they will change quite a bit in the coming weeks. That being said, it’s still well worth seeing their player rankings up against ESPN and B/R.
