The 2026 NBA Draft<\/a> has been lauded as one of the best classes in recent memory. And after weeks of drama, rumors and speculation, NBA<\/a> fans will finally get the most pressing questions of this cycle answered when the draft begins on Tuesday night in Brooklyn. <\/p>\n

All eyes will be on the Washington Wizards<\/a> when the franchise gets on the clock with the No. 1 overall pick. Washington will be picking first overall for the first time since 2010, when the franchise selected John Wall<\/a>. BYU star AJ Dybantsa remains the favorite to go No. 1, but Kansas star Darryn Peterson should also be in the mix. <\/p>\n

After Washington makes its pick, the Utah Jazz<\/a> will be on the clock. Dybantsa (if he’s there), Peterson and Cameron Boozer are the top contenders to go No. 2, while the player on the outside looking in — likely Boozer — will be the favorite to be the No. 3 pick by the Memphis Grizzlies<\/a>. North Carolina star Caleb Wilson has been mocked throughout this draft cycle at No. 4 to the Chicago Bulls<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Clippers<\/a> at No. 5 is where the real fun could start. The Clippers will be able to have their pick of the elite point guard crop in this class, with Louisville’s Mikel Brown Jr. and Illinois Keaton Wagler expected to be in the mix. The Sacramento Kings<\/a> — the owners of the No. 7 pick — have been heavily connected to Arkansas guard Darius Acuff Jr. throughout the draft cycle. <\/p>\n
