Two weeks away from the 2026 NBA Draft and beyond the first few picks and the very top of the draft, there are still more questions than answers. The Washington Wizards haven't made known their plans at No. 1, and while the Utah Jazz's choice at No. 2 is likely predicated on what the Wizards do, they're still working out multiple point guards. That's certainly intriguing.
At No. 3, the Memphis Grizzlies aren't showing their hand at all, and then the Chicago Bulls will likely take whoever is left. There are a variety of scenarios next with what the Los Angeles Clippers and Brooklyn Nets could do.
And this is before we introduce the possibilities of trades.
While there have certainly been some recent examples of teams showing their hand (San Antonio's early commitment to Victor Wembanyama and Dallas' to Cooper Flagg being the most obvious and most recent examples), it is otherwise pretty par for the course that teams are working to keep each other guessing for as long as possible.
The next two weeks are likely to be filled with some important visits, and maybe even some cancelled workouts, as agents and teams all keep jockeying for position in the days leading up to the draft.
Dribble Handoff: Who are 2026 NBA Draft sleepers who can follow the Jalen Brunson All-Star mold? David Cobb
Today we debut CBS Sports' first two-round mock ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft. While this expanded mock draft takes into account the intel first and foremost, there has been almost nothing definitive to date about which players will go where. We've combined the most credible intel that is out there (things like where a prospect has worked out, how many times they've visited, where they've done well, and which teams have done the most due diligence) with observations about teams' draft history and needs to come up with this newly expanded two-round mock.
It's too early, and there are too many variables to consider. So, to complete the two-round mock draft, we'll do our best to put ourselves in the shoes of the NBA executives making the calls and try to find the most logical scenarios. This mock is my best guess as to what is most likely to happen, but not a reflection of what I would do if I were making the picks.
Mock DraftRound 1 Round 1 - Pick 1
AJ Dybantsa SF BYU • Fr • 6'9" / 217 lbs Projected Team Washington PROSPECT RNK 1st POSITION RNK 1st PPG 25.5 RPG 6.8 APG 3.7 3P% 33.1% The fact that Dybantsa still hasn't been told he will be the No. 1 pick, just reaffirms what we said back at the combine – that while he may be the favorite, this isn't the foregone conclusion some are suggesting. Ultimately though, I do expect him to get the call. He's a big wing with positional size, length, athleticism, and an elastic build who can score from all three levels and create his own offense almost on demand. He legitimately has the potential to lead the NBA in scoring one day, but also has to prove that he can consistently impact, and ultimately, drive winning. Round 1 - Pick 2 
Darryn Peterson PG Kansas • Fr • 6'5" / 200 lbs Projected Team Utah PROSPECT RNK 2nd POSITION RNK 1st PPG 20.2 RPG 4.2 APG 1.6 3P% 38.2% I continue to maintain that if Peterson is on the board, he will be the pick at No. 2. It actually may be a relatively easy pick because Boozer just doesn't fit with Jaren Jackson and Lauri Markkanen on the roster. Conversely, Peterson is a very clean fit alongside Keyonte George in what should be Utah's backcourt of the future. The hope is that the durability issues from last season are now behind him and he can merge the shot-making we saw at Kansas with the creation we saw in high school. Round 1 - Pick 3 
Cameron Boozer PF Duke • Fr • 6'8" / 250 lbs Projected Team Memphis PROSPECT RNK 3rd POSITION RNK 1st PPG 22.5 RPG 10.2 APG 4.1 3P% 39.1% Boozer has the highest floor in this draft, and probably an underrated ceiling. Not only can no other player in the field match his history of winning or production, but Boozer also has an unmatched overlap of size, physicality, skill, and feel for the game. Plug him in next to Zach Edey and Cedric Coward and Memphis' rebuilding project already has its frontcourt of the future figured out. Round 1 - Pick 4 
Caleb Wilson PF North Carolina • Fr • 6'9" / 210 lbs Projected Team Chicago PROSPECT RNK 4th POSITION RNK 2nd PPG 19.8 RPG 9.4 APG 2.7 3P% 25.9% Wilson is a prospect with legit star type outcome and potential. He's a high-level athlete with a big-time motor with unusual elasticity (or bend) for a player his size. Wilson exceeded expectations offensively last year, and yet still has immense room for progress, not just with his perimeter skill-set, but even his defensive polish. Those tools should check a lot of boxes for new Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Bryson Graham. From Indiana Pacers Round 1 - Pick 5 
Keaton Wagler PG Illinois • Fr • 6'5" / 188 lbs Projected Team L.A. Clippers PROSPECT RNK 5th POSITION RNK 2nd PPG 17.9 RPG 5.1 APG 4.2 3P% 39.7% The Clippers are reportedly contemplating all four point guards and various trade scenarios. Mikel Brown is getting some increased traction here, but if they keep the pick, I still believe Wagler may be the only one who can fit with Darius Garland. The positional size and shooting give him on/off ball versatility that would be critical in this context, but it's his feel for the game and natural instincts that may be his true superpower. Round 1 - Pick 6 
Darius Acuff Jr. PG Arkansas • Fr • 6'2" / 185 lbs Projected Team Brooklyn PROSPECT RNK 6th POSITION RNK 3rd PPG 23.5 RPG 3.1 APG 6.4 3P% 44% The Nets are another team that could turn the draft in a variety of different ways. The point guards are all in play, as too is Ament, and the potential for deals. While Acuff would provide some positional redundancies to last year's picks, he gives them the type of alpha creator they don't otherwise have yet. He'd also provide a more immediate impact than Ament, especially on the offensive end of the floor. Round 1 - Pick 7 
Mikel Brown Jr. PG Louisville • Fr • 6'4" / 190 lbs Projected Team Sacramento PROSPECT RNK 8th POSITION RNK 5th PPG 18.2 RPG 3.3 APG 4.7 3P% 34.4% The Kings are always a wildcard. They've been linked to Acuff and the assumption is if he's on the board, he'll be the pick. In this scenario it's a choice between Brown and Flemings, and of those two the Louisville product is the one who seems to be generating more buzz in the pre-draft process. Brown is incredibly skilled, has complete control of the ball, is a pinpoint passer, a much better shooter than his numbers showed at Louisville, and impressing teams when he gets face-to-face with them. From New Orleans Pelicans Round 1 - Pick 8 
Kingston Flemings PG Houston • Fr • 6'3" / 183 lbs Projected Team Atlanta PROSPECT RNK 7th POSITION RNK 4th PPG 16.1 RPG 4.1 APG 5.2 3P% 38.7% There's skepticism that four freshman point guards will go consecutively, but Flemings would fit with a defensive oriented young perimeter core in Atlanta, and give them plenty of upside if his shooting proves to be sustainable. What is undeniable is that he's an elite athlete who can get a piece of the paint on demand and rise up explosively at the rim. He's also capable of getting to his pull-up at virtually anytime and arguably the most dedicated defender of this freshmen quartet. Round 1 - Pick 9 
Brayden Burries SG Arizona • Fr • 6'4" / 215 lbs Projected Team Dallas PROSPECT RNK 9th POSITION RNK 1st PPG 16.1 RPG 4.9 APG 2.4 3P% 39.1% There's a growing belief that this could be a scenario that both Burries and Dallas would be excited about, and even some speculation that's why Burries is not working out for more teams. He is a strong and aggressive two-way guard who can get downhill with force, provide a formidable three-point shooter, and defend his position, all with an NBA ready frame, all of which would make him a nice complement to Cooper Flagg for the foreseeable future. Round 1 - Pick 10 
Nate Ament PF Tennessee • Fr • 6'10" / 211 lbs Projected Team Milwaukee PROSPECT RNK 10th POSITION RNK 3rd PPG 16.7 RPG 6.3 APG 2.3 3P% 33.3% Ament is a polarizing prospect with a wide range of outcomes on draft night. A late-blooming 6-foot-10 combo-forward who is fluid, has touch, and skill, he's also inconsistent and needs to get stronger. While his freshman year was up and down, Ament's overall arc has been linear, and there's still glaring potential. That upside makes him a logical choice for a Milwaukee team that has a very uncertain future ahead of them. Round 1 - Pick 11 
Aday Mara C Michigan • Jr • 7'3" / 260 lbs Projected Team Golden St. PROSPECT RNK 11th POSITION RNK 1st PPG 12.1 RPG 6.8 APG 2.4 3P% 30% Mara has real momentum in the draft process and could be off the board before this. At 7-foot-3 (without shoes), he's a giant, even by NBA standards, and a tremendous rim protector. He's also got sneaky mobility, good hands, real passing ability, and provides vertical spacing. With Steve Kerr returning next season, the Warriors' style of play will be staying largely the same, and Mara's facilitating ability fits that. From Los Angeles Clippers Round 1 - Pick 12 
Yaxel Lendeborg PF Michigan • Sr • 6'9" / 241 lbs Projected Team Oklahoma City PROSPECT RNK 12th POSITION RNK 4th PPG 15.1 RPG 6.8 APG 3.2 3P% 37.2% The questions about Lendeborg are tied to his upside since he will turn 24 before playing in his first NBA game. The team in the lottery least concerned about upside is OKC, since they are trying to win now, and relying on finding impactful players in relatively low-salary slots to do it. Lendeborg is one of the more versatile two-way players, and specifically defenders, in the draft. At 6-foot-9 with a 7-foot-3+ wingspan, he often guarded opposing point guards this year, is an excellent passer, and improved shooter who made 37% of his threes. Round 1 - Pick 13 
Labaron Philon PG Alabama • Fr • 6'3" / 175 lbs Projected Team Miami PROSPECT RNK 14th POSITION RNK 6th PPG 22 RPG 3.5 APG 5 3P% 39.9% Philon has been linked to both Miami and Milwaukee, so this works on multiple levels. If Miami keep the pick, he helps them address their uncertainty in the backcourt. If it gets moved to Milwaukee in a potential Giannis deal, the Bucks seem plenty interested as well. A gifted shot creator, Philon stuffed the stat sheet as the focal point of one of college basketball's fastest offenses, and did it with 50/40/80 shooting splits. If he can tap back into some of the defensive tools he showed as a freshman, there could be real value here. Round 1 - Pick 14 
Morez Johnson Jr. PF Michigan • Soph • 6'9" / 250 lbs Projected Team Charlotte PROSPECT RNK 17th POSITION RNK 7th PPG 13.1 RPG 7.3 APG 1.2 3P% 34.3% Johnson was one of the biggest winners of the combine, measuring bigger than expected with massive length, well-rounded athleticism, and simultaneously reaffirming the shooting gains we saw this year. He also fits a need for Charlotte, both positionally as well as with his rugged physicality. That, in tandem with his lateral mobility, makes him even more versatile defensively than he is offensively. From Portland Trail Blazers Round 1 - Pick 15 
Jayden Quaintance C Kentucky • Soph • 6'9" / 255 lbs Projected Team Chicago PROSPECT RNK 13th POSITION RNK 2nd PPG 5 RPG 5 APG 0.5 3P% 0 Bryson Graham is known to covet size, length, athleticism, and physicality (or SLAP for short), and no player left on the board checks those boxes better than Quaintance. After playing only four games this year at Kentucky, he helped himself at the combine by looking explosive in his pro day. He's long, powerful, violently athletic at the rim, and a real game-changer on the defensive end of the floor. Of course though, this all hinges on the medical. From Phoenix Suns Round 1 - Pick 16 
Hannes Steinbach PF Washington • Fr • 6'10" / 248 lbs Projected Team Memphis PROSPECT RNK 16th POSITION RNK 6th PPG 18.5 RPG 11.8 APG 1.6 3P% 34% Steinbach is a skilled and smart big man who has elite hands and is a high-volume rebounder. He's a bit between a four and a five, but with the NBA trending back towards more size in the frontcourt, he should be capable of playing both positions on most nights. It's possible he doesn't last this long, but if Memphis is able to pair him with Boozer and Edey, they'd have a frontcourt with depth and optionality for the foreseeable future. From Philadelphia 76ers Round 1 - Pick 17 
Karim Lopez PF Mexico • 6'8" / 222 lbs Projected Team Oklahoma City PROSPECT RNK 15th POSITION RNK 5th PPG 11.9 RPG 6.1 APG 2.0 3P% 32.6 Lopez is a Mexican native who played with the New Zealand Breakers in the NBL Next Stars program this year and made really nice strides. He's a hard-playing, physical presence who pressures the rim and competes on both ends. He'll get consideration as high as the late-lottery, but checks many of the boxes that OKC has historically prioritized. He could also have appeal to a variety of other franchise's if OKC moves this pick. From Orlando Magic Round 1 - Pick 18 
Dailyn Swain SF Texas • Jr • 6'7" / 211 lbs Projected Team Charlotte PROSPECT RNK 25th POSITION RNK 2nd PPG 17.3 RPG 7.5 APG 3.6 3P% 34.4% If Charlotte goes with a big early, I expect they'll look to bolster their perimeter here. Swain would check a lot of boxes as a defensive oriented big wing who can play off the bounce, pressure the rim, and provide some secondary creation. Those traits are in high demand on a roster that is built around LaMelo Ball, Kon Knueppel, and Brandon Miller, while that trio could absorb Swain's inconsistencies as a shooter. Round 1 - Pick 19 
Christian Anderson PG Texas Tech • Soph • 6'1" / 180 lbs Projected Team Toronto PROSPECT RNK 21st POSITION RNK 8th PPG 18.5 RPG 3.6 APG 7.4 3P% 41.5% Anderson is one of the most skilled players, and maybe the best shooter, in this draft. He also has a complimenting feel for the game and advanced understanding of how to play off ball-screens. There are questions about how he'll adapt physically and defensively, but his offense is worth betting on, especially for a Toronto team that currently lacks those traits at the point guard position. From Atlanta Hawks Round 1 - Pick 20 
Cameron Carr SG Baylor • Soph • 6'5" / 184 lbs Projected Team San Antonio PROSPECT RNK 20th POSITION RNK 2nd PPG 18.9 RPG 5.8 APG 2.6 3P% 37.4% Carr followed up on his breakout season at Baylor with a terrific showing at the combine. He's one of the few perimeter prospects in this draft who can combine length, athleticism, and shot-making. He still has some maturing to do, but San Antonio is well-suited to support his continued growth, and may not have many chances to land another prospect for the foreseeable future given where they are likely to draft. From Minnesota Timberwolves Round 1 - Pick 21 
Bennett Stirtz PG Iowa • Sr • 6'3" / 190 lbs Projected Team Detroit PROSPECT RNK 19th POSITION RNK 7th PPG 19.8 RPG 2.6 APG 4.4 3P% 35.8% Stirtz is a highly skilled true point guard with an elite feel for the game. He's not an overwhelming athlete or defender, but he's a big-time shooter, ultra-reliable, and always in the right spots. In Detroit, he checks two boxes. He's a floor-spacer around Cade Cunningham and another ball-handler who can run the offense when Cunningham is off the floor. From Houston Rockets Round 1 - Pick 22 
Koa Peat PF Arizona • Fr • 6'7" / 245 lbs Projected Team Philadelphia PROSPECT RNK 18th POSITION RNK 8th PPG 14.1 RPG 5.6 APG 2.6 3P% 35% Peat is higher than this on the CBS Big Board, but his glaring lack of shooting is going to require a specific fit. The Sixers lack a long-term solution at the four, can get their floor-spacing from Embiid's face-up skill set, and could benefit from Peat's strength, physicality, intangibles, winning pedigree, and ability to get downhill. From Cleveland Cavaliers Round 1 - Pick 23 
Chris Cenac Jr. PF Houston • Fr • 6'10" / 240 lbs Projected Team Atlanta PROSPECT RNK 22nd POSITION RNK 9th PPG 9.5 RPG 7.9 APG 0.7 3P% 33.3% Cenac has size, length, athleticism, mobility to slide laterally, and some developing face-up skill and shooting potential. He answered a lot of questions about his motor this year and asserted himself as a rebounder, but still has times where the potential exceeds the production. Given the amount of free agents Atlanta has up front this off-season, this could solidify their frontcourt depth. Round 1 - Pick 24 
Tarris Reed Jr. C Connecticut • Sr • 6'10" / 265 lbs Projected Team New York PROSPECT RNK 27th POSITION RNK 4th PPG 14.7 RPG 9 APG 2.3 3P% 0% With Mitchell Robinson going into free agency this year, it makes sense for the Knicks to go big here. Reed was as good as any big man in the NCAA Tournament and followed that up with a strong combine performance, which makes him the best available five-man at this point. He's long, powerful, has interior skill, underrated face-up ability, and sneaky defensive switchability. Round 1 - Pick 25 
Henri Veesaar C North Carolina • Jr • 6'11" / 227 lbs Projected Team L.A. Lakers PROSPECT RNK 23rd POSITION RNK 3rd PPG 17 RPG 8.7 APG 2.1 3P% 42.6% The Lakers are another team that is likely to look for a big man here, and while they may prefer a more defensive-oriented one, Veesaar's combination of size and skill could be too much to pass up on. A stretch-five who shoots it with ease out to the three-point line, Veesaar can play out of dribble hand-offs, pass, and still space the floor vertically, but has to be more consistent defensively and on the glass. Round 1 - Pick 26 
Ebuka Okorie PG Stanford • Fr • 6'1" / 185 lbs Projected Team Denver PROSPECT RNK 24th POSITION RNK 9th PPG 23.2 RPG 3.6 APG 3.6 3P% 35.4% Detroit is a real possibility for Okorie at No. 22, particularly if Anderson and Stritz are already off the board. Okorie lacks overwhelming size, but he has terrific speed, can get a piece of the paint on demand, and his shooting continued to tick-up as the season went on last year. Denver has a positional need at the point with Tyus Jones' looming free agency so this tracks. Round 1 - Pick 27 
Allen Graves PF Santa Clara • Fr • 6'8" / 225 lbs Projected Team Boston PROSPECT RNK 28th POSITION RNK 10th PPG 11.8 RPG 6.5 APG 1.8 3P% 41.3% Graves is an analytic darling who has elite BPM metrics and a rare overlap of defensive playmaking, passing, ball-security, and offensive rebounding. In addition to his combination of physicality and feel, Graves also has great hands and touch to stretch the floor. If another analytically driven front-office doesn't scoop him up first, Boston could pounce. From Detroit Pistons Round 1 - Pick 28 
Isaiah Evans SG Duke • Soph • 6'6" / 186 lbs Projected Team Minnesota PROSPECT RNK 26th POSITION RNK 3rd PPG 15 RPG 3.2 APG 1.3 3P% 36.1% Evans looks like the type of shooter you can run plays for in the NBA after proving he could make quick-released movement threes his year at Duke. He's made gradual strides diversifying his game, but physicality, defense, and rim pressure are all swing variables. The bottom line though is what he does best could be fully utilized to create space around Anthony Edwards. From San Antonio Spurs Round 1 - Pick 29 
Meleek Thomas SG Arkansas • Fr • 6'3" / 190 lbs Projected Team Cleveland PROSPECT RNK 32nd POSITION RNK 4th PPG 15.6 RPG 3.8 APG 2.5 3P% 41.6% Meleek Thomas is the type of instant offense bucket-getter who could provide a microwave scorer off the bench. That's something the Cavs could certainly utilize if they end up without either James Harden, who holds a player option, or Dennis Schroder, who is reportedly on the market. From Oklahoma City Thunder Round 1 - Pick 30 
Luigi Suigo C Italy • 7'3" / 289 lbs Projected Team Dallas PROSPECT RNK 33rd POSITION RNK 6th PPG 8.1 RPG 5.3 3P% 26.7 BPG 1.1 This would be a big swing, and a prospect that won't be ready to contribute right away, but Mike Schmitz has taken skilled bigs in each of the last two cycles in Portland and Suigo is a potential 7-foot-3 stretch-five man. If he hits, there won't be many better ways to open the lane for a Cooper Flagg centric attack. Mock DraftRound 2 From Washington Wizards Round 2 - PIck 31 
Zuby Ejiofor C St. John's • Sr • 6'8" / 245 lbs Projected Team New York PROSPECT RNK 29th POSITION RNK 5th PPG 16.3 RPG 7.3 APG 3.5 3P% 30.5% Ejiofor is a powerful and full of energy, but also has a developing face-up skill-set. He's someone the Knicks may even think about at No. 24, so grabbing him here would be ideal. From Indiana Pacers Round 2 - PIck 32 
Sergio de Larrea SG Spain • 6'5" / 178 lbs Projected Team Memphis PROSPECT RNK 39th POSITION RNK 7th PPG 9.7 RPG 3.0 APG 3.7 3P% 40.7 A big guard and advanced passer, de Larrea has the potential to play multiple positions. He'd also be a nice complement to a shot-maker like Walter Clayton who the Grizzlies acquired last season. Round 2 - PIck 33 
Joshua Jefferson PF Iowa State • Sr • 6'8" / 246 lbs Projected Team Brooklyn PROSPECT RNK 30th POSITION RNK 11th PPG 16.4 RPG 7.4 APG 4.8 3P% 34.5% Brooklyn showed a clear affinity for high-feel passers in last year's draft cycle, and Jefferson checks those boxes. He was one of the best frontcourt passers in college basketball this year, has an NBA-ready frame, and has good defensive playmaking metrics Round 2 - PIck 34 
Baba Miller PF Cincinnati • Sr • 6'11" / 208 lbs Projected Team Sacramento PROSPECT RNK 37th POSITION RNK 13th PPG 13 RPG 10.3 APG 3.7 3P% 19.2% Miller is a high upside proposition because of his combination of size, mobility, two-way playmaking, and rebounding. The Kings have few, if any, long-term pieces, so they can take some swings like this. From Minnesota Timberwolves Round 2 - PIck 35 
Alex Karaban PF Connecticut • Sr • 6'7" / 225 lbs Projected Team San Antonio PROSPECT RNK 31st POSITION RNK 12th PPG 13.2 RPG 5.3 APG 2.4 3P% 37.4% Floor-spacing, passing, and a championship DNA – just a perfect two-way fit for the Spurs and Alex Karaban as he'd help to increase the spacing around Wemby, Harper, and his former teammate Stephon Castle. From Memphis Grizzlies Round 2 - PIck 36 
Richie Saunders SG BYU • Sr • 6'5" / 205 lbs Projected Team L.A. Clippers PROSPECT RNK 35th POSITION RNK 5th PPG 18 RPG 5.8 APG 2.1 3P% 37.6% Saunders is rehabbing from his ACL injury, but once he gets back to 100%, there is real belief he's a true NBA player. Saunders has a throwback jump shot with positional size, competitive intangibles, and an understanding of how to space the floor. From Dallas Mavericks Round 2 - PIck 37 
Ryan Conwell SG Louisville • Sr • 6'2" / 215 lbs Projected Team Oklahoma City PROSPECT RNK 36th POSITION RNK 6th PPG 18.8 RPG 4.8 APG 2.7 3P% 34.5% Conwell is a high-level shooter with a strong body and enough handle to play on or off the ball. OKC doesn't have excess roster space, but if they were to make a consolidation move, he could fight for time at the end of the bench. From New Orleans Pelicans Round 2 - PIck 38 
Otega Oweh SG Kentucky • Sr • 6'4" / 216 lbs Projected Team Chicago PROSPECT RNK 40th POSITION RNK 8th PPG 18.6 RPG 4.8 APG 2.7 3P% 33.3% Oweh's power, physicality, and projected two-way grit should fit the new philosophies in Chicago. When you factor in his improved spot-up shooting, he could have a chance to stick in the NBA. From Chicago Bulls Round 2 - PIck 39 
Braden Smith PG Purdue • Sr • 5'11" / 167 lbs Projected Team Houston PROSPECT RNK 34th POSITION RNK 10th PPG 14.3 RPG 3.5 APG 8.8 3P% 36.2% Smith is a pure point guard and one of the all-time great passers in college basketball history. With Fred VanVleet having a player option, Smith gives the Rockets insurance at the point guard position. From Milwaukee Bucks Round 2 - PIck 40 
Ugonna Onyenso C Virginia • Sr • 6'11" / 237 lbs Projected Team Boston PROSPECT RNK 46th POSITION RNK 7th PPG 6.5 RPG 4.9 APG 0.6 3P% 27.8% Onyenso is a rim protector who wasn't fully utilized as a lob threat last year and has just started to stretch the floor with his shooting. It would not be a surprise to see Joe Mozzulla find a useful way to utilize those tools. From Golden State Warriors Round 2 - PIck 41 
Emanuel Sharp SG Houston • Sr • 6'3" / 205 lbs Projected Team Miami PROSPECT RNK 42nd POSITION RNK 9th PPG 15.5 RPG 3 APG 1.7 3P% 37.2% Sharp is a shot-maker who spent four-and-a-half years under Kelvin Sampson and should thus fit right in with the Miami culture. From Portland Trail Blazers Round 2 - PIck 42 
Trevon Brazile PF Arkansas • Sr • 6'10" / 230 lbs Projected Team San Antonio PROSPECT RNK 38th POSITION RNK 14th PPG 13.1 RPG 7.3 APG 1.5 3P% 34.1% Brazile can space the floor as a lob threat or spot-up shooter and could have the versatility to play alongside Wemby or back him up in smaller lineups. From Los Angeles Clippers Round 2 - PIck 43 
Tyler Nickel SF Vanderbilt • Sr • 6'6" / 217 lbs Projected Team Brooklyn PROSPECT RNK 50th POSITION RNK 3rd PPG 13.5 RPG 3.3 APG 1.2 3P% 40% Nickel is one of the best pure shooters in this draft. Given the amount of young playmakers Brooklyn could have on their roster, they could utilize some extra floor-spacing. From Miami Heat Round 2 - PIck 44 
Bruce Thornton PG Ohio State • Sr • 6'0" / 223 lbs Projected Team San Antonio PROSPECT RNK 44th POSITION RNK 12th PPG 19.9 RPG 5.1 APG 3.9 3P% 40% Thornton had an unmatched combination of volume and efficiency last year at Ohio State and may prove to be sustainable in a vastly scaled-down role in the NBA. From Charlotte Hornets Round 2 - PIck 45 
Dillon Mitchell PF St. John's • Sr • 6'7" / 202 lbs Projected Team Sacramento PROSPECT RNK 49th POSITION RNK 16th PPG 8.3 RPG 7 APG 3 3P% 6.7% Mitchell is an extreme mid-air athlete who showed off defensive versatility and offensive playmaking this year with St. John's. He's not a shooter, but his unique overlap of tools could be interesting for the Kings. Round 2 - PIck 46 
Tyler Bilodeau PF UCLA • Sr • 6'7" / 228 lbs Projected Team Orlando PROSPECT RNK 43rd POSITION RNK 15th PPG 17.6 RPG 5.6 APG 1.1 3P% 46.4% Frontcourt spacing is a priority for the Magic, and Bilodeau is one of the best shooting forwards in this draft. The question will be whether he can hold his own on the defensive end of the floor. From Philadelphia 76ers Round 2 - PIck 47 
Felix Okpara C Tennessee • Sr • 6'10" / 237 lbs Projected Team Phoenix PROSPECT RNK 54th POSITION RNK 9th PPG 8 RPG 6.3 APG 0.5 3P% 36.4% Okpara is a rim protector, offensive rebounder, and lob threat who needs to get stronger but could fight for minutes in a Phoenix frontcourt that is lacking depth. From Phoenix Suns Round 2 - PIck 48 
Jaden Bradley PG Arizona • Sr • 6'3" / 205 lbs Projected Team Dallas PROSPECT RNK 41st POSITION RNK 11th PPG 13.3 RPG 3.4 APG 4.4 3P% 39.4% The Big 12 Player of the Year is a downhill force, quality defender, and improved shooter. This could also reunite him with his former Arizona backcourt mate Brayden Burries. From Atlanta Hawks Round 2 - PIck 49 
Nate Bittle C Oregon • Sr • 7'0" / 250 lbs Projected Team Denver PROSPECT RNK 56th POSITION RNK 10th PPG 16.8 RPG 6.9 APG 2.6 3P% 31.9% Bittle is one of the more skilled and headier bigs expected to be available in the late second round. He's even a little more versatile defensively than he gets credit for. Round 2 - PIck 50 
Izaiyah Nelson C South Florida • Sr • 6'8" / 218 lbs Projected Team Toronto PROSPECT RNK 57th POSITION RNK 11th PPG 15.9 RPG 9.6 APG 1.2 3P% 14.3% After three years at Arkansas State, Nelson played his way onto the NBA map this year at USF and then made a bigger impression in the pre-draft process. Analytic models are also going to value someone who pulls down 4 offensive rebounds and 3 stocks per game. From Minnesota Timberwolves Round 2 - PIck 51 
Milos Uzan PG Houston • Jr • 6'3" / 186 lbs Projected Team Washington PROSPECT RNK 48th POSITION RNK 15th PPG 11.1 RPG 2.7 APG 4 3P% 34.3% Uzan projects as an ideal blend player who may be able to carve out a niche by being reliable with the ball, knocking down open shots, content to play off other dynamic creators, and solid defensively. From Cleveland Cavaliers Round 2 - PIck 52 
Rafael Castro C George Washington • Sr • 6'9" / 224 lbs Projected Team L.A. Clippers PROSPECT RNK 58th POSITION RNK 12th PPG 15.3 RPG 9.1 APG 1.7 3P% 0 Castro's defensive playmaking numbers have been through the roof the last two years at GW and he has very unusual bend and elasticity for someone his size. Whether that's enough to make it in the league remains to be seen, but he's worth the risk at this point. Round 2 - PIck 53 
Maliq Brown C Duke • Sr • 6'8" / 217 lbs Projected Team Houston PROSPECT RNK 51st POSITION RNK 8th PPG 4.9 RPG 5.2 APG 1.6 3P% 16.7% His offense is limited, but his defense and willingness to do the dirty work would fit the culture in Houston. If it turns out he can establish a niche on the other end, he could prove to be better than expected. From Los Angeles Lakers Round 2 - PIck 54 
Tucker DeVries SF Indiana • Sr • 6'7" / 225 lbs Projected Team Golden St. PROSPECT RNK 65th POSITION RNK 6th PPG 13.7 RPG 5.3 APG 3.3 3P% 33.3% I got to see DeVries work out this spring and thought he looked healthier than he has in several years. There's no question he's a truly elite shooter, so this might be worth a look for the Warriors. Round 2 - PIck 55 
Tobi Lawal PF Virginia Tech • Sr • 6'7" / 215 lbs Projected Team New York PROSPECT RNK 52nd POSITION RNK 17th PPG 12.3 RPG 8.5 APG 0.6 3P% 25% Lawal is a truly elite athlete who will be able to simplify his game at the NBA level in hopes of finding a sustainable niche. The Knicks have minimal frontcourt depth locked in for next year, so he could have an opportunity. From Denver Nuggets Round 2 - PIck 56 
Kylan Boswell PG Illinois • Sr • 6'1" / 226 lbs Projected Team Chicago PROSPECT RNK 47th POSITION RNK 14th PPG 12.3 RPG 4 APG 3 3P% 30.7% Boswell is powerful and very pliable on both ends of the floor. He would be a philosophical fit in Chicago, and if he can find his jumper again, he could prove to be an NBA player. From Boston Celtics Round 2 - PIck 57 
Jack Kayil SG Germany • 6'5" / 185 lbs Projected Team Atlanta PROSPECT RNK 68th POSITION RNK 13th PPG 7.7 RPG 2.2 APG 2.8 SPG 1.4 3P% 35.4 Kayil was believed to be on his way to Gonzaga but now appears in tent to stay in the draft. He's a versatile guard with on/off ball versatility but a well-rounded skill set. From Detroit Pistons Round 2 - PIck 58 
Nick Boyd PG Wisconsin • Sr • 6'1" / 177 lbs Projected Team New Orleans PROSPECT RNK 59th POSITION RNK 16th PPG 20.7 RPG 3.8 APG 4.3 3P% 36.5% The Pelicans have 10 guaranteed deals already on the books for next season and hold four team options. The one spot they could use more depth is at the point, and Boyd provides an ultra-solid, battle-tested option. From San Antonio Spurs Round 2 - PIck 59 
Bryce Hopkins SF St. John's • Sr • 6'6" / 219 lbs Projected Team Minnesota PROSPECT RNK 60th POSITION RNK 5th PPG 13.6 RPG 6.2 APG 1.9 3P% 36.3% Hopkins' strength and physicality, coupled with the gains he made with his skill and shooting this year, give him a pretty rare overlap of attributes as a combo forward. Minnesota doesn't necessarily have anyone like that on their roster and numerous expiring contracts to replace. From Oklahoma City Thunder Round 2 - PIck 60 
Keyshawn Hall SF Auburn • Sr • 6'6" / 227 lbs Projected Team Washington PROSPECT RNK 55th POSITION RNK 4th PPG 19.3 RPG 7 APG 2.6 3P% 37.9% Hall has been a stat-stuffer at every stop and now the lefty scorer has got himself into the best shape of his life. Washington may be too crowed in the middle of the line-up, but the Auburn wing would be an interesting developmental flyer.
