| 2 | OKC | Chet Holmgren | F/C | 7’1″ | Gonzaga |
| 3 | HOU | Paolo Banchero | F | 6’9″ | Duke |
| 4 | SAC | Jaden Ivey | G | 6’4″ | Purdue |
| 5 | DET | Keegan Murray | F | 6’8″ | Iowa |
| 6 | IND | Bennedict Mathurin | G/F | 6’5″ | Arizona |
| 7 | POR | Jalen Duren | C | 6’10” | Memphis |

| 13 | CHO | Ousmane Dieng | F | 6’7″ | NZ Breakers |
| 14 | CLE | Malaki Branham | G/F | 6’5″ | Ohio State |
Lottery Notes
- Chet is the number one Prospect on our big board but the smoke seems to lean towards the Magic making the wrong pick.
- The Kings will probably be trading the pick, we still expect Ivey to be the guy taken at this slot.
- Sharpe and Daniels could both end up either much higher or much lower.

First Round Notes
- The Spurs may be trading up because of having so many picks.
- The Warriors will take a big swing who will make a big difference in the future lineup.

| 44 | ATL | Julian Champagnie | F | 6’7″ | St. John’s |
| 45 | CHO | Wendell Moore | G/F | 6’5″ | Duke |
Early Second Notes
- Baldwin jr. is going entirely too early, but that’s how the draft works.
- Moore is going way too late, that is also how the draft works sometimes.

| 59 | POR | Jordan Hall | F | 6’8″ | St. Joe’s |
| 60 | IND | Ron Harper Jr. | G/F | 6’6″ | Rutgers |
Late Second Notes
- The cheating really hurts the kids trying to get drafted more than the NBA teams. Fix this in the future, NBA.
- Nebhard, Hall and Walker deserve to be drafted way higher than this.
