5/13 update: John Hollinger/The Athletic released his annual Top 20 which is always a must read! Lots of contrarian thinking here including Ron Holland at #1 and Alex Sarr down at #5. Or how about Zaccharie Risacher at #13 and Stephon Castle at #2.

It’s already draft lottery week and we have new big boards to compare from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, No Ceilings, Tankathon, and Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony/ESPN.

It’s been a while since we saw a big board from Wasserman, and this one does not disappoint, with lots of interesting picks and players that are vastly different than the others. This includes Ron Holland at #1, Jared McCain at #7 , Tyler Smith at #12, and Pacome Dadiet at #15. Great food for thought, as always!

5/13 update: Nothing more refreshing on a hot spring day than a fire hose of super high-quality draft content! As of this afternoon, we have A LOT of updated mock drafts from the best of the best including Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN, Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation, and the No Ceilings crew!

New flash: Pacome Dadiet making his impact felt in this new batch of mocks for May!

The NBA Draft Lottery came and went with the Hawks beating the odds and moving up to #1, and in the process re-crushing the hearts of Pistons fans. The Rockets moved up and so did the Spurs, who now have #4 and #8, knocking the Raptors out of the lottery in the process. Needless to say, this is a GREAT time of year!

I’ve also added my own Hoops Distillery mock draft along with an updated pick variance chart. And in a “seriously, I’m not just trying to be contrarian” way, I still have Ron Holland going first instead of Alex Sarr. I think of it like this: yes, the Hawks may trade Trae or Dejounte, but that doesn’t mean they need to go with Sarr which would then entail trading Okongwu or Capela. Why not just keep both centers, trade one guard and pick Holland to replace them? To me this would fill a need, plus be a best player available strategy. I really don’t think Quin Snyder signed on for a rebuild, and I really doubt Tony Ressler has the patience for one.

Picks that make you go hmmm (from my mock draft):

Stephon Castle at #4 to the Spurs (along with Rob Dillingham at #8). And although I do have Reed Sheppard going #3 to the Rockets, I really have no idea what Castle has to prove to make people buy-in. I think he’s being nitpicked a bit too much. To me, his shot will be just fine AND even more importantly, he has a ton left in his bag that he didn’t break out at UCONN. Castle, Dillingham, Devin Vassell, Wemby, and whoever is going to sell A LOT of tickets and sell A LOT of apparel….and probably win some games too, eventually.

Cody Williams going at #6 to the Hornets. Ron Holland and Reed Sheppard may be better fits, but they were both gone in this mock. Honesty though, I sort of like this! Why not put Cody at 2-guard between LaMelo and Brandon Miller to supersize their wings? It’s really the same logic as those who had Castle going to Charlotte: a good defensive wing will be a big help with Ball and Miller being more offensive-minded.

Tyler Smith going to OKC at #12 which is much high than consensus, with the exception of Wasserman who had him at #12 too. I’ve been very high on Smith for a while now, as you’ll see if you look back at previous months mock draft comparisons. I’ve had him as high as #9. There’s just something about him that looked very functional and efficient compared to the dysfunctional and inefficient G League Ignite squad.

Disclaimer: I followed Ricky O’Donnell‘s lead with the (fantastical) pick of Izan Almansa at #30 to the Celtics. I love that match and the Celtics are desperately in need of someone to start grooming as an Al Horford replacement. Those are big shoes to fill, but Almansa has the basketball IQ to make it possible.

…….

Enjoy these mock drafts and the (always highly entertaining) Draft Combine this week!

We have new mock drafts to compare from Tankathon and Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer with only days to go until the official draft order is revealed at the NBA Draft Lottery (3PM EST on Sunday, May 12th). Needless to say, there will be many more updates this month as everyone and their mother will post updated mock drafts on Sunday afternoon.

Bub Carrington seems to be the hot name moving up the boards so far this month. KOC also moved up Nikola Djurisic and Pacome Dadiet up into the 20’s. As soon as the G League Elite Camp and NBA Draft Combine get going, there should be a lot more movement, so stay tuned, as always.

I highly recommend checking out the No Ceilings NBA site, as they are doing a great job with video breakdowns of prospects, including various with the prospects themselves (including a great one with Jamal Shead recently!). Keandre at Hoop Intellect has also done some excellent video breakdowns including Clingan, Holland, and Sheppard, On the podcast front, check out LockedOn NBA Big Board where Rafael and James Barlowe have been doing some cool episodes, as well as The Ringer NBA Draft Show with KOC and J. Kyle Mann (don’t miss the recent episode with John Fanta which was highly entertaining!). Loving all of this high-quality draft content!

[NBA Draft]: 2024 Big Board Comparison, April (updated 4/23)

April 7, 2024May 10, 2024 Eric Creighton

4/23 update: New boards from Sam Vecenie/The Athletic and Keandre/Hoop Intellect give us a total of six for the month to compare. Clingan and Castle moved up quite a bit for these two, and Keandre has Ron Holland at #2 which is a lot higher than others.

April has just begun, but we already have new big boards from Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, No Ceilings, Tankathon, and Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony/ESPN. After some memorable tournament runs, it’s no surprise that Donovan Clingan, Stephon Castle, Zach Edey and Dalton Knecht are moving up. And for the most part, it’s Matas Buzelis, Ron Holland and Cody Williams who have dropped down a bit. Risacher, Sarr and Topic are holding strong in the top portion of these boards.

Check back for updates throughout the month and follow me on Twitter and Instagram at @hoopsdistillery.

[NBA Draft]: 2024 Mock Draft Comparison, April (updated 4/23)

April 5, 2024April 23, 2024 Eric Creighton

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.

[NBA Draft]: 2024 Mock Draft Comparison, March (updated 3/28)

March 17, 2024March 28, 2024 Eric Creighton

3/28 update: The month is almost over, but we have two new mock drafts to add to the pool–updated picks from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report and Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer. Wass has Ron Holland up at #4 and finally bought into Stephon Castle who has moved up to #8. He also has Jared McCain and Terrence Shannon going back to back at #11 and #12. KOC has Cody Williams moving up to #4 and Zach Edey at #12, while Reed Sheppard (#1 on his last mock) and Rob Dillingham (#8 on his last mock) have moved down to #9 and #11, respectively. He also has Kyle Filipowski way down at #25.

3/26 update: New mock draft from the Jeremy Woo + Jonathan Givony/ESPN with some very interesting picks after the 1st two rounds of the tournament, including Donovan Clingan going #5, Dalton Knecht at #8, Isaiah Collier at #10 and Zach Edey at #14. They are sticking with Risacher at #1 and Topic in the top 4 as well.

3/20 update: Added four new mock drafts to the post today including picks from Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, Tankathon, Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation, as well as my own. We now have 7 total to compare–and I’ve updated my pick variance chart to help. There’s a variety of different pick orders across these mock drafts so make sure to take that into account. Based on pick order, it’s easy to see how certain players in the top 10 will shift up or down. The Spurs, Rockets, Pistons, and Hornets arguable need more guard help, while the Wizards, Blazers and Bulls need bigs or wings.

We’re back once again with the March edition of the mock draft comparison with all new picks from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, and the No Ceilings crew. KOC says he’ll be posting updates once a week with a (Tankathon sim) pick order, while Wass seems to be posting updates every two weeks.

Reed Sheppard has vaulted into the top five, and as high as the #1 pick for KOC. While the two biggest risers appear to be Devin Carter and Kel’el Ware, after some impressive performances to end the regular season. Meanwhile, Ja’Kobe Water has dropped down to the 13-16 range, and Johnny Furphy‘s momentum seems to have cooled off as well, moving down to the bottom half of the first round.

[NBA Draft]: 2024 Big Board Comparison, March (updated 3/26)

March 17, 2024March 26, 2024 Eric Creighton

3/26 update: New boards from Keandre/Hoop Intellect and Tankathon to compare with the first grouping. Keandre has Ron Holland all the way up at #2!

Fresh big boards have arrived for March. We have boards from Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, No Ceilings and Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony/ESPN. Alex Sarr and Zaccharie Risacher still firmly at the top, while Rob Dillingham and Reed Sheppard have moved up across the board. And still seeing lots of disagreement on Ron Holland and Stephon Castle.

[NBA Draft]: 2024 Mock Draft Comparison, February (updated 2/24)

February 16, 2024March 21, 2024 Eric Creighton

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.

2/26 update: New board posted by Keandre/Hoop Intellect who has some interesting picks, including Ron Holland at #3 and Isaiah Collier at #8.

New big boards are here as we get into mid-February! We have Tankathon, No Ceilings and ESPN’s combo of Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo to compare. Lots of disagreement and interesting takes to digest here. Dalton Knecht, Devin Carter, and Yves Missi moving up this month.

[NBA Draft]: 2024 Big Board Comparison, January (updated 1/31)

January 9, 2024February 4, 2024 Eric CreightonLeave a comment

1/31 update: One more big board before we close out the month. This one is the first for Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer as part of their NBA Draft Guide. He has Cody Williams up at #2 and Kevin McCullar at #9.

1/13 update: New board added from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report. Some interesting picks on this one with Nikola Topic at #1, Yves Missi at #11, Ulrich Chomche at #14, and KJ Simpson at #19.

2024 has arrived with new boards from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN, Tankathon and the No Ceilings team. There seems to be consensus top group for the most part which includes Alex Sarr, Nikola Topic, Cody Williams, Zaccharie Risacher, Ja’Kobe Walter and one, or both, of Ron Holland and Matas Buzelis. After the lottery its a complete free-for-all and very interesting to compare the differing opinions amongst these picks.

There are some fascinating positional battles that are starting to form, especially with the centers grouping of Donovan Clingan, Aaron Bradshaw, Yves Missi, Zach Edey, and Kel’el Ware. As usual, it’s all in the eye of the beholder!

[NBA Draft]: 2023 Big Board Comparison, April

The pre-draft process has officially begun and we have three new big boards to compare Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express, and Tankathon.

[NBA Draft]: 2023 Mock Draft Comparison, April

Pre-draft season is here along with updated mock drafts from Jonathan Givony + Jeremy Woo/ESPN-Draft Express, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation, Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, Tankathon,, and new picks from Hoops Distillery!

[NBA Draft]: 2023 Big Board Comparison, March (updated 3/21)

With March Madness on the horizon we have a new batch of big boards to compare including picks from Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer, and the best available from Jonathan Givony/ESPN-Draft Express. Will Brandon Miller overtake Scoot for the #2 spot?

[NBA Draft]: 2024 Mock Draft Comparison, January (updated 1/30)

January 9, 2024February 24, 2024 Eric Creighton

1/30 update: Updated mock added today for Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report who still has Alex Sarr in the #1 spot and seems to be very high on Yves Missi.

1/24 update: Two more new ones–this time from Kevin O’Connor/The Ringer and Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation. O’Donnell has Nikola Topic at the top and Matas Buzelis at #2, while O’Connor has Zaccharie Risacher at #1 and Alex Sarr going second. Interestingly at pick 15 to Orlando, O’Donnell has Jared McCain and O’Connor has Dalton Knecht.

1/13 update: Two new mock drafts added today from Jonathan Givony + Jeremy Woo/ESPN and also the No Ceilings crew. Both have Tidjane Salaun moving up into the top 7. And No Ceilings also has Reed Sheppard going 3rd to the Wizards.

As we move into conference play, we have a fresh batch of mock drafts to kick off the new year, including Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Rafael and James Barlowe/NBA Big Board, Tankathon, and yours truly at Hoops Distillery.

Sadly, or maybe interestingly, depending on how you look at it, there’s still no players setting themselves apart for the 1st pick. And all of a sudden we have another wave of injuries with Nikola Topic, Donovan Clingan, and Alex Sarr on the deck for their respective teams. From the college ranks, Reed Sheppard may be the only consistent performer of the group and is now firmly in the top 15 across these mocks. Zaccharie Risacher and Tidjane Salaun are also two names to watch that have steadily moved up the boards after continuing to play well in France.

Draft power rankings (via Tankathon) have shifted greatly as well with Oklahoma City moving way up based on the current standings. Memphis suffered a big blow this week with Ja Morant‘s torn labrum this week and now we can expect that they’ll officially move into the tanking group along with Portland, Washington, Charlotte, Detroit and San Antonio. The trade deadline is one month away, so it will be fascinating to see if any other underperforming teams decide to step back or step up (see Chicago, Utah, Atlanta).

Keep checking back as I’ll be updating this post throughout the month.
