    Victor Wembanyama
    Pick 1
    C
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Wembanyama is the best prospect to hit the NBA since LeBron James and had an impressive showing in his last season in France, playing all the way up to June 15. The 7-foot-4 center led the Mets 92 to their first LNB Pro A Finals appearance, where they were swept by Monaco 3-0. Wembanyama led all players during the regular season in points (21.6), rebounds (10.4) and blocks (3.1) per game and was named the league MVP, becoming the youngest player in league history to earn the top honor. Reports surfaced that Wembanyama wouldn't play at Summer League, but after the loss to Monaco, Chima Moneke asked if he was playing and Wembanyama answered, "A little bit."
    Charlotte
    Charlotte
    Hornets
    Scoot Henderson
    Pick 2
    PG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Many believe Brandon Miller is the better fit here for the Hornets, but with what Henderson projects as an NBA player, it's hard to pass up on him at No. 2. It seems the front office still hasn't decided yet, bringing both players back in for a workout. However, Henderson already has a leg up on almost all the players in this draft class. The 6-2 guard has been playing against NBA talent with NBA rules and spacing the past two seasons in the G League. Henderson has shown how he can play alongside different guards in the backcourt and although his outside shooting still needs some work, the Hornets should be encouraged by the pre-draft work he's put in with one of the best shooters to ever play the game, Steph Curry.

    Brandon Miller
    Pick 3
    PF
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Miller had a strong workout in Portland and looked comfortable during drills. If the Hornets take Henderson at No. 2, Miller can add some length and size along the perimeter with Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons. Miller was one of the best 3-point shooting wings in college basketball and was named the SEC's Freshman of the Year and Player of the Year, becoming first player to win both awards since Anthony Davis did it with Kentucky in 2012.
    Houston
    Houston
    Rockets
    Amen Thompson
    Pick 4
    PG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    The Rockets have a young core group of Kevin Porter Jr., Jalen Green and Jabari Smith Jr., as well as a young new head coach, Ime Udoka. Houston has options at No. 4. The Rockets can trade down, package this pick for a veteran player or draft the best-available prospect. If they keep the pick, Thompson is the latter. He's one of the most athletic guards in the draft, a tenacious defender and makes great reads as a primary ball-handler. His outside shooting needs some development, but with his size and how he projects as an NBA guard, Thompson is the best option at No. 4.
    Detroit
    Detroit
    Pistons
    Ausar Thompson
    Pick 5
    SG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Ausar is the better shooter out of the Thompson twins and is more comfortable as a perimeter player. Like his brother, he's an excellent defender who can guard multiple positions on the court. He's so dynamic in transition and loves to play above the rim. The most underrated part of his game is how well he cuts off the ball and gets to his spots.
    Orlando
    Orlando
    Magic
    Anthony Black
    Pick 6
    PG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Black has tremendous upside as a two-way guard, particularly as a primary ball-handler in the way he sees the floor and reads the defense. Black could end up being one of the most productive guards in this talented draft class. With multiple picks in a talented draft class, the Magic can afford to take a swing on Black and what he projects as a future guard in the league.
    Indiana
    Indiana
    Pacers
    Jarace Walker
    Pick 7
    SF
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Walker has the most NBA-ready body out of any forward in the lottery, and his defensive versatility can make him a plug-and-play guy right away alongside Myles Turner in the frontcourt. The Pacers brought in Gradey Dick for a workout last week and were thought to be targeting shooting wings, but they have options with multiple picks. Walker fills a much-needed role with his size, dependability and impact.
    Washington
    Washington
    Wizards
    Bilal Coulibaly
    Pick 8
    SG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Coulibaly is one of the youngest players in this draft class — he'll turn 19 in July — and also one of the most improved from the start of his French season with the Mets 92. The 6-6 guard exploded during the LNB Pro A playoffs after averaging only five points and three rebounds during the regular season. Coulibaly has incredible length with a 7-2 wingspan and will need some time to further develop his game before he plays impactful minutes, but the talent is there and the Wizards might want to take him off the board early and help further develop his game.
    Utah
    Utah
    Jazz
    Taylor Hendricks
    Pick 9
    SG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Hendricks fits the mold of positional versatility that a lot of teams desire and look for in young prospects. The Jazz would probably take Hendricks here if he's still on the board with his 3-and-D upside and size at the wing position. He can be plugged into different lineups and rotations because of his offensive threat from the perimeter and his ability to guard smaller forwards in the paint with his length.
    Dallas
    Dallas
    Mavericks
    Cam Whitmore
    Pick 10
    SG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    There are rumblings that Whitmore is slipping on draft boards due to his medical evaluation that took place at the NBA Draft Combine, but he looked incredible in a pre-draft workout with Carmelo Anthony in New York late last week. Whitmore is a strong guard who has an explosive first step off the wing and can be plugged into any spot along the perimeter.
    Orlando
    Orlando
    Magic
    Gradey Dick
    Pick 11
    SG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Dick is a skilled offensive wing who does so many things that NBA teams look for in a productive perimeter player. Outside of his consistent shooting (40.3% from 3-point range), he has a high basketball IQ and is always looking to push the ball up the court after a missed shot. The Magic are still struggling with outside shooting, finishing 25th in 3-point shooting percentage this past season. Dick can instantly contribute alongside Markelle Fultz, Cole Anthony and Jalen Suggs.
    Oklahoma City
    Oklahoma City
    Thunder
    Kobe Bufkin
    Pick 12
    PG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Bufkin is one of the hottest names heading into the draft and has shot up draft boards after strong team workouts. Bufkin spent time in the gym during the pre-draft process with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and looked comfortable matching up with the All-NBA first-team guard from this past season. The Thunder added a ton of length and wings who are playmakers in the last draft and could be looking to add another guard to lead the secondary unit after Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey.
    Toronto
    Toronto
    Raptors
    Jalen Hood-Schifino
    Pick 13
    SG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Hood-Schifino plays bigger than his 6-6 frame and has a 6-10 wingspan that allows him flexibility to defend the perimeter and alter shots off the dribble. He's one of the best guards in the pick-and-roll and showed confidence in decision-making when games were on the line late in the season. With many talented guards projected in the lottery and mid-first round, Hood-Schifino could play himself into the lottery with strong workouts leading up to the draft.
    New Orleans
    New Orleans
    Pelicans
    Jordan Hawkins
    Pick 14
    SG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Hawkins is one of the top pure shooters in this draft class and has continued to shoot the ball well during team workouts. The shooting guard was instrumental in UConn's championship run and commands attention from at least two defenders in the way he moves off the ball. For a veteran backcourt like the Pelicans, Hawkins could jump in and add 3-point shooting value immediately.
    Atlanta
    Atlanta
    Hawks
    Dereck Lively II
    Pick 15
    C
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Lively showcased his improved motor and 3-point shot during his pro day with Klutch Sports. Lively averaged only 5.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.4 blocks in 20 minutes during his one season at Duke.
    Utah
    Utah
    Jazz
    Keyonte George
    Pick 16
    PG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    George looked great during his pro day in Chicago during the NBA Draft Combine and has had positive feedback during team meetings and workouts. The high ankle sprain that hindered him toward the end of the season doesn't seem to be an issue now, and George can add elite shot-making to this Jazz team as they continue to rebuild.
    LA Lakers
    Los Angeles
    Lakers
    Cason Wallace
    Pick 17
    PG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Wallace is the best on-ball defender in this draft class and will have no issue guarding both 1 and 2 guards at the NBA level. During his one season at Kentucky, his touches were limited offensively playing alongside Sahvir Wheeler, but if the draft has taught NBA teams anything about Kentucky guards, it's they're more productive pros than what they showed in college. Wallace is a decent outside shooter and uses his speed to his advantage against bigger guards.
    Miami
    Miami
    Heat
    Nick Smith Jr.
    Pick 18
    PG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Smith had an up-and-down season at Arkansas, plagued with a minor knee injury that kept him sidelined for the majority of the season. The glimpses he showed offensively with his floater in the lane and his shot-making ability, particularly in the SEC tournament, were all positives for a productive NBA guard. His stats for the season aren't necessarily that impressive, posting a negative BPM (box plus-minus). Coming into the college season as one of the best freshman guards in the country, it would be hard to pass on him in the back half of the first round. The Heat are one of the best franchises at developing young players, and Smith Jr. could be a good pick up for an established team that made a run to the NBA Finals this season.
    Golden State
    Golden State
    Warriors
    Noah Clowney
    Pick 19
    PF
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Clowney is one of the most versatile young bigs in this draft class and showed glimpses of his inside-out game during his one season at Alabama. Clowney averaged 9.8 points and 7.9 rebounds in 25 minutes this season and showed improvement in his decision-making in the pick-and-pop situation toward the end of the season.
    Houston
    Houston
    Rockets
    Olivier-Maxence Prosper
    Pick 20
    PF
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Prosper worked out for at least 16 teams leading up to the NBA Draft and was one of the biggest risers after the NBA Draft Combine. He possesses everything NBA teams are looking for in a young, versatile wing utilizing his 7-1 wingspan productively and playing well off the ball. He's proficient off the switch defensively and even though he was the fourth option at Marquette, Prosper shot the ball well at the combine and looked comfortable in the pick-and-pop.
    Brooklyn
    Brooklyn
    Nets
    Jett Howard
    Pick 21
    PG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Howard is one of the best 3-point shooters in this draft class and brings size and solid passing on the wing. The youngest son of Juwan Howard averaged 17.9 points per 40 minutes and is an excellent spot-up shooter from anywhere on the court. Howard has won at every level and knows how to play alongside other elite players, being a complementary weapon at IMG Academy alongside Jarace Walker and Keyonte George.
    Brooklyn
    Brooklyn
    Nets
    Jaime Jaquez Jr.
    Pick 22
    SG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Jaquez was the glue guy who was tough as nails for a very good UCLA team. Any team that drafts Jaquez knows exactly what they're getting. He's a hard worker who can contribute right away to a secondary unit or play alongside any veteran and make the right play offensively. He has great size and can dip down low in the post or use his footwork to create separation on the wing.
    Portland
    Portland
    Trail Blazers
    Leonard Miller
    Pick 23
    SG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Miller averaged 22.8 points and 13.6 rebounds per 40 minutes in the G League this past season and has great size and length at the wing position. Miller showed improvement throughout the 24 games he played in this season and showed glimpses of what NBA teams look for in young prospects with fluidity and athleticism on the perimeter.
    Sacramento
    Sacramento
    Kings
    Kris Murray
    Pick 24
    PF
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Murray is one of the best 3-and-D guards in this draft class, and Kings fans probably. would love to see Murray reunited with his twin brother, Keegan, who the Kings drafted with the No. 4 pick last year. Murray is one of the older, more established players in this draft class and can add some instant 3-point shooting and defensive versatility to the secondary group on a Kings team that made the playoffs for the first time in 17 years.
    Boston
    Boston
    Celtics
    Brandin Podziemski
    Pick 25
    SG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    (Reported trade with Memphis) After limited minutes at Illinois, Podziemski transferred to Santa Clara and was extremely productive during his sophomore season. The 6-5 shooting guard averaged 22.1 points and 4.1 assists per 40 minutes and was one of the most impressive guards during the NBA Draft Combine.
    Indiana
    Indiana
    Pacers
    Maxwell Lewis
    Pick 26
    SG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Pepperdine won only nine games this season, and NBA scouts struggled to get a feel for Lewis as a prospect. During the pre-draft process, Lewis has added 13 pounds of muscle to his frame and is more active on defense, utilizing his length to deflect passes and alter shots. Lewis is one of the best shooting guards in the first round and can add some offensive consistency along the perimeter.
    Charlotte
    Charlotte
    Hornets
    Ben Sheppard
    Pick 27
    SG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Sheppard was a player who helped himself the most after the NBA Draft Combine. He shot the ball consistently, made the right plays and showed poise in his decision-making when the ball was in his hands. Sheppard averaged 18.8 points and 5.2 rebounds and shot 41.5% from 3-point range last season at Belmont.
    Utah
    Utah
    Jazz
    Rayan Rupert
    Pick 28
    SG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Rupert's offensive productivity doesn't necessarily jump right out, but at 19 years old with some fluidity and raw talent with a 7-3 wingspan, he's an intriguing first-round prospect. The Jazz have options with multiple first-round picks and could opt to develop Rupert with what he already brings defensively, disrupting every player in the backcourt and forcing turnovers.
    Denver
    Denver
    Nuggets
    Amari Bailey
    Pick 29
    SG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    (Reported trade with Indiana) Bailey helped himself during the NBA Draft Combine after showing NBA scouts and executives how productive he can be as a facilitator and not just as an offensive weapon off the ball. His outside jump shot still needs improvement, but he's worked out well for teams and has a competitive edge with how hard he plays every time he hits the court and his burst in transition.
    LA Clippers
    Los Angeles
    Clippers
    Dariq Whitehead
    Pick 30
    SG
    Position
    Yahoo Sports Commentary
    Whitehead underwent a second foot surgery after his initial injury at Duke prior to the season needed fixing. The two-way guard still has tremendous upside as an NBA playmaker and teams toward the back half of the first round might be willing to take a swing on the young guard because of his size and how productive he was as one of the top high school prospects.
