2026 NBA Mock Draft
Our 2026 NBA mock draft.
The draft order is based off the reverse standings, with lottery positioning taken into consideration, as of December 19th.
The 2026 NBA Draft is being billed by analysts as one of the strongest classes in recent memory, featuring several prospects drawing early comparisons to recent No. 1 picks. Unlike the 2025 draft, which had a clear frontrunner in Cooper Flagg, the top of the 2026 class will have several potential candidates to go No. 1.
Scouts and executives are excited about both the elite prospects at the top and the class’s overall depth, with impact players projected deep into the first round.
