With the 2018 NBA Draft under two weeks away, let’s rehash our projections.

The season came to an uneventful end following Golden State’s sweep of Cleveland in the Finals. That doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty to look forward to this summer, though, starting with the 2018 NBA Draft.

Storylines are heating up, with teams beginning to formulate their draft boards. The Philadelphia 76ers will have two first-round picks, including one in the lottery. The Suns are narrowing their search at No. 1 and attempting to trade for another top-10 pick. The Kings might pass on Luka Doncic, the best international prospect of all-time.

Simply put, June 21 will bring plenty of surprises. We’ll try to proejct some of those surprises, running through all 60 picks and providing in-depth analysis for the top-30. As always, there are some key differences between this mock draft and our big boards.

While our big boards rank prospects from top to bottom, these mocks serve as projections for what might happen. They take into account reports, team needs and, in some cases, the expected outcomes. These picks don’t necessarily reflect the moves I would make.
