With the NBA Playoffs underway, the final standings are set. Let’s update our projections for the 2018 NBA Draft.

As the Philadelphia 76ers make a playoff run, they also have a top-10 pick in their back pocket. In what is one of the deepest lottery classes since LeBron James and Co. in 2003, the Sixers have the chance to add another legitimate contributor through the draft.

The 2018 NBA Draft already has it’s fair share of storylines. Where will Trae Young go after his late-season struggles? Is Luka Doncic’s Euroleague dominance enough to push him past the physical anomaly that is Deandre Ayton?

There’s plenty to discuss, both with the Sixers and beyond.

As always, this mock draft is a prediction of what certain teams will do in June based on several factors. Team needs are taken into account, while my personal rankings might not be reflected in who a team picks. You can find all of our draft coverage here.
