2/28 update: Updated big board from Sam Vecenie/The Athletic with lots of changes since early December, not surprisingly. Sam was probably the first strong supporter of Jase Richardson being a lottery pick which now seems close to a no-brainer–he’s at #11 on this month. We also see Isaiah Evans, Max Shulga, and Milos Uzan making appearances in his top 50.

We are back with a fresh big board comparison for February with new boards from No Ceilings, Keandre Ashley/Hoop Intellect, and Tankathon.

VJ Edgecombe is moving up a bit across the boards, jumping Kasparas Jakucionis, after his recent string of strong, two-way play. Carter Bryant, Thomas Sorber, and Danny Wolf have also moved up, while Nolan Traore, Egor Demin and Labaron Philon have dropped.

Keep checking back, as I’ll be updating this post throughout as more big boards are released this month. And follow @hoopsdistillery on Twitter for update alerts.

[NBA Draft]: 2026 Mock Draft Comparison, February

February has come and gone (quickly!) and we’re right in the heart of college basketball season and in-conference play. It’s time to analyze a new batch of mock drafts from Jonathan Wasserman (Bleacher Report), the No Ceilings crew, two from Ricky O’Donnell (SB Nation), Tankathon, and yours truly.

[NBA Draft]: 2025 Mock Draft Comparison, February (updated 2/28)

February 13, 2025February 28, 2025 Eric Creighton

2/28 update: New picks from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report to close out the month. This one has Jase Richardson and Liam McNeely moving up and both going in the lottery to the Spurs. In this one Philly keeps their #6 pick and takes Tre Johnson. Isaiah Evans has also moved up into the late 1st round after a string of hot shooting games.

After a whale of a trade deadline, we’re back, trying to refocus on the draft. Luckily, we have new picks from Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony/ESPN, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, the No Ceilings crew, Tankathon, and yours truly.

Jeremiah Fears lost a bit of luster after a few not-so-great games. Meanwhile, Danny Wolf is climbing up the 1st round boards. Givony and Woo have Joan Berringer jumping up into the lottery, as well as Alex Condon at the tail end of the first round. Ace Bailey may have solidified his position at #3 with some strong play while Dylan Harper was out. And VJ Edgecombe is back in a big way after some lights out shooting in conference play.

With the dust settling a bit in the NBA post, trade deadline, we’re also seeing quite a bit of stealth tanking. New Orleans traded away Brandon Ingram (but didn’t get rid of (imo franchise albatross contract) CJ McCollum) and shut down Herb Jones for the season. Wizards aren’t playing their vets many minutes. Spurs are playing their vets too many minutes. Hornets traded for Nurkic and are starting him and Nick Smith. Utah has Isaiah Collier at the reins and sent Keyonte George to the bench. And Chicago…..well, they are a mess, as always. They’re now relying on Vucevic and Giddey to anchor their (horrific) defense.

I’m very interested to see if teams try to consolidate picks to move up in this draft. The Nets, Thunder, Spurs, Magic, Hawks and Jazz have A LOT of the picks–and most of them already have quite a few young players on their rosters. Who wants to trade into the 1st round and what will the price tag be?

On the point guard front, Jakucionis and Demin have picked it back up a bit. Fears and Philon have dropped back a bit. Fland is hurt. Harper is doing his thing once again and is firmly at #1 on the power rankings. And once again, Nolan Traore, is being overlooked as we get into nitpick season. Once Traore is surrounded by shooters and NBA spacing, how do you think he’s going to look with his elite court vision, speed, and passing skills? Lets not overthink this. He’s French, yes, but he’s not Killian Hayes.

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

[NBA Draft]: 2025 Big Board Comparison, January 2025

January 20, 2025January 20, 2025 Eric CreightonLeave a comment

Starting off the new year with an update of our big board comparison with four new boards to compare, including No Ceilings, Keandre Ashley/Hoop Intellect, Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony/ESPN and Tankathon.

Besides Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper there is little consensus across these boards. Jakucionis has moved up for most and Traore and Demin have moved down for some, but not for others. Knueppel is higher than McNeely on most boards, except for Hoop Intellect’s. Everyone’s in agreement on Jeremiah Fears moving into the #10-12 range. Noah Penda, Danny Wolf and Thomas Sorber seem to be moving up for most, but not for all. Interesting disagreement on Asa Newell and Derik Queen as well. Lots to digest and analyze, so enjoy!

Keep checking back, as I’ll be updating this post throughout as more big boards are released this month. And follow @hoopsdistillery on Twitter for update alerts.

[NBA Draft]: 2025 Mock Draft Comparison, January (updated 1/31)

January 11, 2025July 20, 2025 Eric Creighton

1/31 update: Two new mock drafts to finish off the month, including Tankathon, and the first for 2025 from Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation. O’Donnell has Edgecombe going #3 to the Pelicans. Both have Fears moving up into the top 10. And O’Donnell, interestingly, has Traore way down at #18 and Demin even further down at #23.

1/15 update: I just added an updated mock from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report. He has Jeremiah Fears moving all the way up to #6. Also, some amazing food for thought from the picks he has for teams with multiple 1sts: Jazz selecting Jakucionis and Demin (Danny Ainge might immediately die on the spot from the joy of having two jumbo point guards with high IQ like that!), OKC selecting Maluach and Queen to help their frontline, along with Hugo Gonzalez.

Happy New Year! We’re back with brand new mock drafts to compare from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN, Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, No Ceilings, Tankathon, and your truly.

There’s been lots of movement since last month, including Jeremiah Fears and Thomas Sorber cementing their position in the first round. Enthusiasm for Egor Demin has cooled after a few sub par games, while Kasparas Jakucionis is moving up into the top 5 picks after his strong play for an overachieving Illinois team.

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

Also, ICYMI:

Bobby Marks from ESPN had a nice analysis of who controls the draft over the next seven years.

[NBA Draft]: 2025 Mock Draft Comparison, December 2024

December 15, 2024December 15, 2024 Eric Creighton

We’re kicking off the holidays with a fresh mock draft comparison featuring new picks from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Tankathon and No Ceilings. We’re seeing Derik Queen and Boogie Fland moving up into the late lottery and teens, while Jeremiah Fears, Jase Richardson, and Thomas Sorber have now moved into the first round. Drake Powell seems to be out altogether with many guessing he’ll stick around for his sophomore year.

Very interesting to track the point guard battle as well between Harper, Traore, Demin, Jakucionis, Fland, Saraf, and Philon. Harper stabilized his position at #2 in the last couple weeks while Jakucionis now seems to have jumped Demin in the mid-lottery. Opinions on Traore are more mixed than ever this month–Wass has him at #7 while No Ceilings dropped him to #22. For anyone who appreciates great point guards, this is glorious to watch! When these guys go head to head in pre-draft workouts it’s going to reach and incredible level of competition. My money is still on Traore.

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

[NBA Draft]: 2025 Big Board Comparison, December 2024 (updated 12/15)

December 8, 2024January 20, 2025 Eric CreightonLeave a comment

12/15 update: New big board added from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN. They moved Will Riley up to #12, haven’t lost faith in Nolan Traore (who they have at #5–above Demin and Jakucionis) and they added some interesting foreign names as well, including Johann Grunloh from Germany (at #35) and Sergio De Larrea from Spain (at #36).

We have four new big boards to compare for the month of December, including No Ceilings, Keandre Ashley/Hoop Intellect, Sam Vecenie/The Athletic and Tankathon.

Drake Powell and Nolan Traore seem to be dropping while Labaron Philon and Derik Queen are moving up most boards. Also, looks like Jase Richardson could soon be a fixture in the top 30. We’re also starting to see some interesting differences in opinion on the ceiling of Egor Demin after a poor performance against Providence last week.

Keep checking back, as I’ll be updating this post throughout as more big boards are released this month. And follow @hoopsdistillery on Twitter for update alerts.

[NBA Draft]: 2025 Mock Draft Comparison, November 2024 (updated 11/29)

November 17, 2024November 29, 2024 Eric Creighton

11/29 update: New mock draft from Ricky O’Donnell/SB Nation to add to our November comp which brings us to 6 for the month. Some interesting picks here including Demin going before Bailey, Ian Jackson to the Spurs at #15 and Jase Richardson going to the Grizzlies at #21. Noah Penda from France also popped on O’Donnell and Wass’s mocks this month, so definitely one to keep an eye on.

11/21 update: Three new mocks to compare for November including an updated mock from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, the first of the season for the No Ceilings crew, and an updated version from yours truly. Lots to chew on here amongst the five mock drafts for November!

Again, I feel like this draft is incredibly rich in my personal favorite position–point guards. And these are big point guards too. This is honestly a dream scenario for NBA front offices. With big point guards teams can make up for having undersized wings. Plus, for teams who already have a point guard who is more of a scorer, they can pair them with a rookie who can handle and do more of the playmaking. Then, you get the Warriors or Celtics-type of action, where various players can dribble, shoot, and make plays. For this reason, I have the Spurs taking Nolan Traore and Kasparas Jakucionis as their top 10 picks. Pairing those two with Stephon Castle and Wemby and Sochan and Vassell makes for a super dangerous and versatile team.

For this month’s mock draft comparison, we are carrying over the late October mock from Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report to compare against new mock drafts from Tankathon and Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony/ESPN. Not too many changes this month in the top 10, but Egor Demin and Tre Johnson seemed to be creeping up a bit after strong starts to the season.

[NBA Draft]: 2025 Big Board Comparison, October/November 2024

We’re back again with the second edition of the big board comparison for 2025. For October and November we have four new big boards for you, including the first from the No Ceilings crew, Keandre Ashley/Hoop Intellect, Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN and Tankathon. There seems to be a good amount of agreement on the top 10 players, but beyond that, there is a huge contrast in opinion, not surprisingly.

Keep checking back, as I’ll be updating this post throughout as more big boards are released this month. And follow @hoopsdistillery on Twitter for update alerts.

[NBA Draft]: 2025 Mock Draft Comparison, August-October 2024 (updated 11/5)

October 14, 2024November 5, 2024 Eric Creighton

11/5 update: New mock drafts from Tankathon and Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report to add to this month’s mock draft comparison. Derik Queen, Tre Johnson, Asa Newell, Will Riley and Kon Knueppel all looking stellar in their opening games last nigh (among others).

The college basketball and NBA seasons are about to begin. And with fall rolling in, we’re fortunate enough to have updated mock drafts from Sam Vecenie/The Ahletic, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Keandre Ashley/Hoop Intellect, and yours truly. Lots to look forward to already, as we wait impatiently for November.

Already some interesting shifts in opinion after pre-season NCAA intel has been reported and international play continues in Europe and the NBL. Kon Knueppel jumped up the boards after ESPN‘s dyanamic duo of Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo released their latest big board. Kasparas Jakucionis is moving up quickly after making a strong impression in preseason play.

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