On June 22, the NBA will hold its annual draft, pulling from an incredible domestic and global talent pool. As prospects continue to play, how do they rank as potential draft prospects?
Six Sports Business Classroom alumni (Elias Eldridge, Ron Gutterman, Gabriel Mendez, Aaron Pearlstein, Max Rosenberg and Jordan Silbert) have mocked the first round, plus five bonus picks, based on the early information in March. The ranking is based on an average of each SBC scout’s selections.
Click through each player for a scouting report (check back as the library grows leading up to the draft). Also, look for future mocks as March Madness unfolds and, once the NBA draft lottery on May 16 is held, team order and needs will be considered.
