NBA mock draft: 1️⃣ Jabari Smith Jr. 2️⃣ Paolo Banchero 3️⃣ Chet Holmgren More ⬇️
The trend in recent drafts has been that at least one older prospect crashes the lottery: Murray, who turns 22 in August, will take that mantle this year. He enters off a monstrous season at Iowa bearing an absurd statistical case that strongly suggests he can help an NBA team next year as a forward who can defend multiple positions and score from all over the floor.
Daniels would be a fascinating addition for the Pelicans, who will get to keep this pick after the Lakers’ season collapsed and have an opportunity to add to a young core of talent that’s trending in a good direction. Put your mad scientist hat on and imagine Daniels playing in super-sized, multiple-ballhandler lineups next to Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson and Herb Jones.
Per usual, it’s kind of anyone’s guess which direction the Knicks go in the draft. With Mitchell Robinson set to hit free agency and having plateaued in terms of production, it might behoove New York to draft and develop a younger big who offers more untapped upside and fills a similar role.After a strong close to the season, Williams seems likely to receive consideration from late-lottery teams and has a feasible chance of leapfrogging Jalen Duren as the first center drafted.
The Rockets loaded up on scorers in last year’s draft, and what direction they go with this pick likely hinges on where their lottery pick falls. They have a long enough timeline to take a shot on a guy like Brown and let him work things out in a low-stakes role.After transferring to Auburn and rejuvenating his status as a prospect, Kessler figures to come off the board somewhere in the first round, as one of the more accomplished rim protectors in the draft. He owned a jaw-dropping 19.
While Eason comes with some risk, he’s an interesting project for a team that can afford to take a gamble. The Nuggets are stable, share the ball and could use another forward off the bench—this could be a cushy landing spot for Eason to try to figure things out.Another of the more polarizing first-round prospects, Washington played on a bad ankle for his final two months and struggled mightily, throwing his stock into flux.
