New NBA Draft 2026 Top 100 Big Board Rankings Drop by ESPN's Jeremy Woo, How Did Top 4 Shake Out?

The upper tier remained the same in the newest 2026 NBA draft big board from ESPN's Jeremy Woo.

BYU forward AJ Dybantsa, Kansas guard Darryn Peterson, Duke forward Cameron Boozer and North Carolina forward Caleb Wilson were all unchanged as the top four players.

Jeremy Woo 2026 Big Board

Rank	Player
1.	AJ Dybantsa, F, BYU
2.	Darryn Peterson, G, Kansas
3.	Cameron Boozer, F, Duke
4.	Caleb Wilson, F, North Carolina
5.	Keaton Wagler, G, Illinois
6.	Darius Acuff Jr., G, Arkansas
7.	Kingston Flemings, G, Houston
8.	Nate Ament, F, Tennessee
9.	Mikel Brown Jr., G, Louisville
10.	Brayden Burries, G, Arizona

Woo's ranking aligns with the most recent mock draft from Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman. In what has been considered a three-horse race all season, Wasserman has Dybantsa beating out Peterson and Boozer to be the No. 1 pick:

"AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson and Cameron Boozer are each No. 1 on various scouts' boards. But there is still some hesitation around Peterson's shot difficulty and lack of playmaking evidence at Kansas. And a fraction of NBA staff still believe Boozer's lack of explosion/quickness will restrict his advantage-creation, limit his defensive effectiveness and consequently block roads to upside."

Wasserman added that "nobody seems to have serious worries about Dybantsa."

Dybantsa was the leading scorer in Division I with 25.5 points per game. He also averaged 6.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 35 games.

Peterson's talent isn't in question as he poured in 20.2 points per contest and shot 38.2 percent from beyond the arc.

"Ultimately, NBA teams want to know that Peterson will be fully available and understand what it will take to get the best version of him in the pros," Woo said, alluding to the general questions about the Jayhawks star.

Boozer projects as a safe choice after averaging 22.5 points and 10.2 rebounds, production that earned him a bevy of individual accolades. Still, he may not have the ceiling that Dybantsa and Peterson possess.

Woo's big board generally didn't undergo a lot of alterations, and the most notable shifts largely resulted from Florida forward Thomas Haugh and UConn guard Braylon Mullins deciding to stay in school.

Michigan center Aday Mara (No. 13), Washington big Hannes Steinbach (No. 14) and Alabama guard Labaron Philon Jr. (No. 15) all climbed one spot with Haugh removing himself from the draft pool.

Houston forward Chris Cenac Jr., Texas Tech guard Christian Anderson and Kentucky center Jayden Quaintance are on the fringe of the lottery and could benefit from Mullins' absence as well.
