The 2021 NBA draft is upon us and beginning to crystalize, with teams making final preparations for Thursday’s event. The top of the draft has begun to make sense, with the dust starting to settle around the first three picks: Cade Cunningham, Jalen Green, and Evan Mobley. A wide range of potential scenarios diverge from there. There’s still a great deal of intrigue and anticipation around the NBA going into draft night, and all the latest intel on all 30 first-round picks can be found here.
As always, this mock attempts to project what the draft might look like on a given day, and is based primarily off of my own intel and conversations with a range of executives, scouts, and others around the NBA.
