2026 NBA mock draft: Projecting all 60 picks in Rounds 1 and 2 - ESPN

The 2026 NBA draft is just eight days away (June 23-24, 8 p.m. ET on ABC/ESPN), with the league's withdrawal deadline passing Saturday, and teams and prospects entering the final stretch of meetings and workouts going into Round 1.

With the draft picture beginning to crystallize, the intrigue begins at the very top, where the Washington Wizards have begun to narrow down their options with the No. 1 pick and the Utah Jazz sitting behind them at No. 2. AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson remain the projected top two picks, but there's still a question about the order they're selected.

NBA teams continue to await a potential Giannis Antetokounmpo trade that is expected to have broader ramifications on the draft and offseason. The Milwaukee Bucks have much of the league in a holding pattern as they consider a franchise-changing decision. ESPN's Shams Charania reported in May that the Bucks were open for business involving the two-time MVP, with a resolution expected prior to the draft.

A lot will play out over the next week as front offices huddle and finalize their boards. Here are my latest draft projections, with new intel from around the NBA shedding light on how things might go. As usual, this mock draft is informed heavily by my conversations with sources around the NBA, in addition to my own evaluations of prospects over the course of the season. These are not my personal rankings, which can be found in ESPN's top 100.
