2026 NBA Mock Draft 1.0

Let's have some fun with a quick NBA mock draft. We're at the point where we have a good feel for where most teams will pick on draft night. Here's an in-depth piece explaining every made selection:

As much as I would love to use the USA Today to fuel Mullins year 2 propaganda, they also had Stirtz and Ngongba as top 10 picks. Smh

I'd expect Mullins to rise in the mocks over the next few weeks. Play has steadily improved.

Greater than 50/50 chance he put “write a 2026 NBA mock draft” into ChatGPT.

My biggest worry for him was that Solo would be #1 and takeaway from him showing enough of his stuff this year.

But these last few games have been trending towards Solo possibly taking a backseat now with Mullins coming alive.

Just ridiculous. I don't see why Ngongba is considered any better of a prospect than Tarris Reed.

Younger and has more of a perimeter game at this point. But certainly not top-10 worthy.
