We’re back with a holiday edition comparing new mock picks from Jonathan Wasserman (Bleacher Report), Sam Vecenie (The Athletic), the No Ceilings crew, Ricky O’Donnell (SB Nation), Tankathon, and yours truly. There’s been a lot of movement in the lottery since last month, with Kingston Flemings injecting himself into the top 5, leapfrogging Mikel Brown and Nate Ament in many mock drafts. It’s been fascinating to keep an eye on the Tankathon Draft Power Rankings, as the Thunder and Hawks could be adding major talent to already strong rosters.

2026 big boards are here! Well, to be fair, Wass posted one back in August for B/R.

2026 big boards are here! Well, to be fair, Wass posted one back in August for B/R. But now, college hoops season has arrived and we have six boards to compare, including picks from Jonathan Wasserman (JW Scouting and Bleacher Report), the No Ceilings crew, Jeremy Woo (ESPN), Adam Finkelstein (CBS Sports), and Tankathon.

No surprises at the top with Darryn Peterson, AJ Dybantsa and Cam Boozer leading the way, but then there are 7 other players in the 4 to 7 range. Worth pointing out that No Ceilings was the only board that did not have Peterson at #1, instead giving the crown to Cam Boozer to start the season.

I’ll be back each month with updated mock draft and big boards comparisons through Draft Day 2026, so bookmark the site, keep coming back at your leisure, and follow me @hoopsdistillery on Twitter, where you can search #bigboardcomp for all updates.

[NBA Draft]: 2026 Mock Draft Comparison, July 2025

The 2026 draft season has officially begun, and to kick things off we have mock drafts from SB Nation, No Ceilings, The Athletic, ESPN, Bleacher Report, Tankathon, and yours truly. We’ll have the pleasure of enjoying the elite trifecta of AJ Dybantsa, Cam Boozer, and Darryn Peterson will be vying for the #1 pick throughout…

[NBA Draft]: 2026 Mock Draft Comparison, November 2025 (updated 11/23)

11/23 update: Two more (highly contrasting) mock drafts added today from Jeremy Woo (ESPN) and Ricky O’Donnell (SB Nation). Woo has Peterson, Dybansta, Boozer, Ament and Wilson , while O’Donnell has Boozer, Peterson, Dybantsa, Wilson, Ament. Really great food for thought, as always, from these two!


After the always-unwelcome late-summer break, the college hoops season has finally begun — and with it comes a fresh batch of mock drafts from the No Ceilings crew, Sam Vecenie (The Athletic), Jonathan Wasserman (Bleacher Report), Tankathon, and yours truly.

This upcoming draft class is already generating buzz not just for who might go No. 1, but for how deep it could be with stars and rotation players. With a mix of superb returning sophomores, an elite freshman class, and an influx of international talent, this group is stacked. Caleb Wilson and Neoklis Avdalis have already turned heads in early-season matchups, as has Koa Peat. Plenty of games left to watch, analyze, and let marinate as we close out 2025.

I’ll be back each month with updated mock draft and big boards comparisons through Draft Day 2026, so bookmark the site, keep coming back at your leisure, and follow me @hoopsdistillery on Twitter, where you can search #mockdraftcomp for all updates.

Draft analysts and scouts seem to be in agreement that there are at least three players respected as #1 pick caliber, franchise level talents in this draft including:

1. Darryn Peterson – SG, Kansas

  • Peterson is praised for his polished scoring, elite shot-creation, and NBA-ready build at 6′5″ with a strong frame
  • Comparable to Damian Lillard or Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander in his ability to create and control games, with 50/40/90 performances.

2. A.J. Dybantsa – Wing, BYU

  • A 6′9″ athletic wing with elite scoring instincts, tremendous body control, and international pedigree
  • Seen as nearly flawless in high school—flashes of a two-way All-Star with size and shooting, drawing comparisons to Tracy McGrady and Kevin Durant..

3. Cameron Boozer – Forward, Duke

  • A highly polished 6′9″ forward with advanced IQ and feel. Son of Carlos Boozer, he combines post scoring, passing and defensive versatility.
  • Multiple Gatorade Player of the Year honors, EYBL championships and multiple gold medals with Team USA solidify his winning résumé.

Most Likely Candidates to be in the Conversation as Top 5 Picks

  • Nate Ament – A 6′11″ scoring wing with elite touch and upside; compared to Kevin Durant in ability to stretch the floor and run offense from the wing.
  • Jayden Quaintance – A freshman at Kentucky known for his shot‑blocking, 7′5″ wingspan, and raw upside; is currently recovering post ACL surgery and transferred out of Arizona State.
  • Chris Cenac – A rising 6′10″ high school big man with guard-like skills; adept at bringing the ball upcourt, face-up four play, shooting and rim protection.

Other top prospects climbing the ranks include Caleb Wilson (UNC), Mikel Brown (Louisville), Nik Khamenia (Duke), and Karim Lopez (New Zealand Breakers).

Please note: the picks from Vecenie and O’Donnell do not include teams.
