On June 26 and 27, the NBA will hold its annual draft (held over two days), pulling from an incredible domestic and global talent pool. How do they rank as potential prospects?

Six Sports Business Classroom alumni (Elias Eldridge, Diego Torres, Gabriel Mendez, Max Rosenberg, Anirudh Kantareddy and Daniel Sherman), with help from Braden Beach, Mikhail Ratts and Jordan Silbert, have mocked both rounds based on the early information through the middle of May.

This is the first collaborative effort, as previous mocks were an average of each scout’s selections. Additionally, team needs are now being considered, with the order recently set by the draft lottery.

Click through each player for a scouting report (check back as the library grows leading up to the draft). Future mocks will account for additional intel and any player withdrawals.
