Top 14 (below): To calculate the consensus, we will award 14 points for each mock draft in which a player finishes first overall, 13 points for each mock draft in which he finishes second, and one point for the final lottery selection. The player with the most points will be the top overall selection, as follows:
1. Alexandre Sarr | Atlanta Hawks
Perth Wildcats (Australia) | Position: F/C | Height: 7-1
Status: International
Most common: 1,2 (4)
He's an impact player on the defensive end who is growing into a bigger role on the other side of the floor, has the potential to get even more done and should be an immediate complementary help.
2. Zachary Rezacker | Washington Wizards
JL Bourg-en-Bresse (France) | Position: G/F | Height: 6-8
Status: International
Most common: 1 (4)
He looks good and has all the two-way ability to reach his potential. He has a high floor but also a high ceiling. How far can he get?
3. Reed Shepard | Houston Rockets
Kentucky | Position: G | Height: 6-3
Status: Freshman
Most common: 3 (4)
The Wildcats' sharp-shooting, award-winning freshman has rocketed to the top of draft boards, especially considering how open the field is.
4. Donovan Clingan | San Antonio Spurs
Connecticut | Position: C | Height: 7-2
Status: Sophomore
Most common: 7 (4)
He was a key member of the defense that led the team to consecutive NCAA championships, and once he adapts to the professional game, he should be a steady presence. He also has plenty of offensive power.
5. Stephen Castle | Detroit Pistons
Connecticut | Position: G | Height: 6-6
Status: Freshman
Most common: 6 (3)
Do whatever it takes, no matter what end of the court you're on, and ball movement can take you to new levels.
6. Matas Buzelis | Charlotte Hornets
G League Ignite | Position: F | Height: 6-8
Status: G League
Most common: 5 (3)
The big forward has the shooting touch he lost during his one season with the Ignite, and if he can get it back, he could lead teams that rely on him to win big.
7. Nikola Topic | Portland Trail Blazers
KK Crvena Zvezda (Serbia) | Position: G | Height: 6-6
Status: International
Most common: 4 (3)
A tall guard with a deft passing touch and the ability to create opportunities for himself and others, the upside here is a gamble that his knee is stable enough to make an outside shot.
8. Dalton Knecht | San Antonio Spurs
Tennessee | Position: G/F | Height: 6-6
Status: Senior
Most common: 9 (3)
He made the most of his move to Tennessee, scoring over 25 points in every way possible, especially from deep, and the transition with his experience could be smoother than most.
9. Tijan Saloun | Memphis Grizzlies
Cholet Basket | Position: F | Height: 6-9
Status: International
Most common: 8 (2), 12 (2)
The raw 18-year-old is projected to be a long, switchable defender who can utilize his excellent off-ball instincts and developing long-range shot.
10. Robert Dillingham | Utah Jazz
Kentucky | Position: G | Height: 6-3
Status: Freshman
Most common: 9 (2), 10 (2)
The shot is there and he's a basketball expert, but when his playmaking woes get in the way, his size limitations come into play and he's forced to adjust or overcome them.
11. Ron Holland | Chicago Bulls
G League Ignite | Position: F | Height: 6-6
Status: G League
Most common: 11 (3)
Swingman with great athletic ability and explosiveness He showed what he can do in the G League despite turnover issues and poor shooting that hindered his game.
12. Cody Williams | Oklahoma City Thunder
Colorado | Position: F | Height: 6-9
Status: Freshman
Most common: 12 (3)
The younger brother of Thunder phenom Jalen Cody, he has the game and size to adapt to most styles and could see an unexpected surge if just one team believes in his potential.
13. Devin Carter | Sacramento Kings
Providence | Position: G | Height: 6-2
Status: Junior
Most common: 12 (2), 13 (2)
A defensive standout with potential to grow offensively, the 3-and-D mold looks like a solid foundation. Combo guard with a chance to develop into a mainstay.
14. Jacob Walter | Portland Trail Blazers
Baylor | Position: G/F | Height: 6-5
Status: Freshman
Most common: 13 (2)
He has the shooting potential, the defensive potential and a knack for finding free throws, and could contribute right away, with the playmaking coming over time.
