New NBA Mock Draft 2026 Drops by ESPN's Jeremy Woo After Knicks Win NBA Finals vs. Spurs

The NBA season is officially in the books, and the NBA draft is right around the corner.

With the draft just a little over a week away, ESPN's Jeremy Woo dropped his latest mock draft on Monday.

Woo had BYU star AJ Dybantsa going first overall, followed by Kansas' Darryn Peterson, Duke's Cameron Boozer and North Carolina's Caleb Wilson. The consensus among most experts appears to be that those four players will go in order, but the rest of the draft isn't as straightforward.

Woo had Illinois' Keaton Wagler going fifth, Arkansas' Darius Acuff Jr. going sixth and Louisville's Mikel Brown Jr. at No. 7. The latest mock from Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman differs there, as he had Houston's Kingston Flemings at No. 7 and Brown at No. 8.

There was some debate among experts about who would go first overall in this year's draft, but it appears Dybantsa is the clear choice for most at this point. That doesn't come as much of a surprise considering how polished he looked as a freshman, posting 25.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game on 51 percent shooting.

But even though other lottery teams missed out on Dybantsa, this year's draft is deep, and it wouldn't be a shock to see several players emerge as stars in the near future.
