Take an all-access dive into the AWS NBA Draft Combine 2026, where every drill, measurement, and breakout moment tells a story about the league\u2019s next wave of talent.<\/p>\n
\u2022 2026 NBA Draft: Complete coverage<\/a><\/p>\n The Consensus Mock Draft is a compilation of the best mock drafts from around the web. We bring them together to provide a solid estimate of how the Draft could play out. All 10 reviewed mocks are fresh heading into Wednesday\u2019s event.<\/p>\n Count on the Top 4 looking familiar. By any measure, a clear top tier has emerged, with AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer and Caleb Wilson enticing the mocks with superstar potential. MOST COMMON PICKS<\/p>\n Below are where the player is most commonly projected, with the number of mock drafts in parentheses. For example, AJ Dybantsa is projected to go first in 10 of 10 updated mock drafts listed below:<\/p>\n No. 1 (Wizards): AJ Dybantsa (10)<\/p>\n No. 2 (Jazz): Darryn Peterson (9)<\/p>\n No. 3 (Grizzlies): Cameron Boozer (8)<\/p>\n No. 4 (Bulls): Caleb Wilson (8)<\/p>\n No. 5 (Clippers): Keaton Wagler (5)<\/p>\n No. 6 (Nets): Darius Acuff Jr., Kingston Flemings, Keaton Wagler (3)<\/p>\n No. 7 (Kings): Darius Acuff Jr., Kingston Flemings (4)<\/p>\n No. 8 (Hawks): Mikel Brown Jr., Aday Mara (4)<\/p>\n No. 9 (Mavericks): Mikel Brown Jr., Brayden Burries (3)<\/p>\n No. 10 (Bucks): Nate Ament (6)<\/p>\n No. 11 (Warriors): Brayden Burries, Yaxel Lendeborg (3)<\/p>\n No. 12 (Thunder): Yaxel Lendeborg (5)<\/p>\n No. 13 (Heat): Labaraon Philon Jr. (5)<\/p>\n No. 14 (Hornets): Karim L\u00f3pez (3)<\/p>\n Consensus Mock Draft Top 14<\/p>\n To calculate the consensus, we award 14 points for every mock draft in which the player went first overall, 13 for second, continuing to one point for the final lottery pick. The player with the highest point total represents the top overall selection, which is as follows:<\/p>\n 1. AJ Dybantsa | Washington Wizards<\/p>\n BYU | Position: F | Height: 6-9 With expectations reaching absurd levels, Dybantsa delivered at every stage of his season at BYU. He\u2019s got the frame, the game and the charisma to carry it all.<\/p>\n 2. Darryn Peterson | Utah Jazz<\/p>\n Kansas | Position: G | Height: 6-5 A prototype two-guard, Peterson delivered thrills while struggling with cramping issues. A solution has been identified, but to what degree?<\/p>\n 3. Cameron Boozer | Memphis Grizzlies<\/p>\n Duke | Position: F-C | Height: 6-8 A Blue Devil legacy, Boozer rewrote the family record book with a stunning season in Durham. His post presence and preternatural passing could refine well with age.<\/p>\n 4. Caleb Wilson | Chicago Bulls<\/p>\n North Carolina | Position: F | Height: 6-9 A pair of unrelated hand injuries sidelined a stellar season in Chapel Hill. Can Wilson pull together the total package, or will he leave onlookers frustrated?<\/p>\n 5. Keaton Wagler | LA Clippers<\/p>\n Illinois | Position: G | Height: 6-5 A combo guard with size, Wagler\u2019s feel for the leather should keep this connector moving up boards even with a more ground-bound game.<\/p>\n 6. Darius Acuff Jr. | Brooklyn Nets<\/p>\n Arkansas | Position: G | Height: 6-2 Most GMs would be wise to sign up the latest candidate to emerge from the John Calipari point guard pipeline: Acuff has everything but the height.<\/p>\n 7. Kingston Flemings | Sacramento Kings<\/p>\n Houston | Position: G | Height: 6-3 Dinged for his height, Flemings delivered strong shooting performances and top-notch agility scores at the AWS Draft Combine.<\/p>\n 8. Mikel Brown Jr. | Atlanta Hawks<\/p>\n Louisville | Position: G | Height: 6-5 Battling a back injury that ended his season early, Brown Jr. showed enough promise to entice anyone seeking a scorer\u2019s touch.<\/p>\n 9. Brayden Burries | Dallas Mavericks<\/p>\n Arizona | Position: G | Height: 6-4 Switchable and impossible to pin down, Burries projects to be a two-way terror, and potentially a game-changer on defense.<\/p>\n 10. Aday Mara | Milwaukee Bucks<\/p>\n Michigan | Position: C | Height: 7-3 The Wolverine big man has continued rising through three collegiate seasons, topping out at a fluid 7-foot-3 and providing presence in the pivot.<\/p>\n 11. Nate Ament | Golden State Warriors<\/p>\n Tennessee | Position: F | Height: 6-10 Rangy forward Ament has showcased slick handles out of the frontcourt and a solid jump shot, though not much else offensively to date.<\/p>\n 12. Yaxel Lendeborg | Oklahoma City Thunder<\/p>\n Michigan | Position: F | Height: 6-9 Transferring from UAB, Lendeborg took over in Ann Arbor from the jump, leading the Wolverines to an NCAA Tournament championship in a single season.<\/p>\n 13. Karim L\u00f3pez | Miami Heat<\/p>\n New Zealand Breakers (Australia) | Position: F | Height: 6-8 A face-up forward who can pressure defenses with the post or the pass, the Mexico international presents a prototype at the 4.<\/p>\n 14. Labaron Philon Jr. | Charlotte Hornets<\/p>\n Alabama | Position: G | Height: 6-3 A late-breaking spurt has elevated Philon into Lottery consideration.<\/p>\n MOCK DRAFTS<\/p>\n ESPN.com<\/a><\/p>\n AJ Dybantsa Last updated: May 19<\/p>\n The Ringer<\/a><\/p>\n AJ Dybantsa Last updated: May 11 (Mann)<\/p>\n The Athletic<\/a><\/p>\n AJ Dybantsa Last updated: May 10<\/p>\n Yahoo Sports<\/a><\/p>\n AJ Dybantsa Last updated: May 12<\/p>\n Bleacher Report<\/a><\/p>\n AJ Dybantsa Last updated: May 19<\/p>\n NetScouts Basketball<\/a><\/p>\n AJ Dybantsa Last updated: May 11<\/p>\n CBS Sports<\/a><\/p>\n AJ Dybantsa Last updated: May 11<\/p>\n Hoops HQ<\/a><\/p>\n AJ Dybantsa Last updated: May 11<\/p>\n SB Nation<\/a><\/p>\n AJ Dybantsa Last updated: May 10<\/p>\n USA Today \/ For the Win<\/a><\/p>\n AJ Dybantsa Last updated: May 19<\/p>\n * * *<\/p>\n ESPN Insider: Jeremy Woo | Mock Drafts<\/a> | Draft Coverage<\/a><\/p>\n The Ringer: J.

\nThat extends to the full stretch of the Lottery selections:\u00a010\u00a0players appear in the lottery on all 10 mocks we surveyed. It\u2019s a surprise, given only 14 spots. Keaton Wagler, Darius Acuff Jr., Kingston Flemings, Mikel Brown Jr., Brayden Burries and Yaxel Lendeborg round out the bunch.\u00a0Aday Mara just misses with nine.
\nAfter the top four, it appears to be a guard-heavy grouping, which could keep another frontcourt player from being selected in the top 10.
\nWagler, Acuff, Flemings and Brown are expected to come off in combination, dominating the 5-9 range.
\nThe Michigan bigs are taking up space in the lower lottery, with Lendeborg and Mara earning consistent attention (31 of 40 predictions).
\nIn a break with recent tradition, the likely Lottery isn\u2019t international-heavy; the highest mock placement is Karim L\u00f3pez at No. 13, a Mexican import to the New Zealand Breakers.<\/p>\n
