Our final projections for all 60 picks in the 2018 NBA Draft.

The 2018 NBA Draft is officially ONE DAY AWAY. There hasn’t been any shortage of storylines either, with numerous potential trades on the table and no clear consensus when it comes to the top prospects in the draft.

More so than normal, there is an extreme amount of variance between projections from site to site. Nobody has a solid understanding of how the top 10 will play out, with Deandre Ayton — and to a lesser extent Marvin Bagley III — being the only surefire picks.

Our job, as a site without inside intel, is to sift through all the reports, analyze all the prospects, and come to a conclusion based on the following factors: team fit, projected draft range and relevant reports. These picks are not necessarily the moves I would make as GM, although I will advocate for several of the proposed selections.

If you want my top-60 rankings, click here. That is where you’ll find personal analysis of why certain prospects are superior, including blurbs for all 60 prospects. The Philadelphia 76ers will enter the draft with six picks, including two first-round selections: 10th and 26th.
