We need look no further than the Finals to see the importance of the NBA Draft brought to life. The two best players in the series have been Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker, who were selected by their current franchises with the 15th and 13th picks, respectively. Finding a player outside the top-five that turns out to be a superstar is rare, but it's what makes the pre-draft process so crucial.
Teams may find a late gem in the 2021 Draft, but the general consensus is that the prizes are all at the top, with Oklahoma State's Cade Cunningham leading the way. By all accounts he's still expected to go to the Pistons with the No. 1 overall pick, but after that it gets a little trickier.
Several reports have the Houston Rockets focused on Jalen Green with the second pick, so I've moved him ahead of USC big man Evan Mobley (who might not actually be a big man) in this mock draft, even though I consider Mobley to be the slightly better prospect. There's also been some movement throughout, as players continue to visit teams for private workouts. It's hard to know how prospects have done in those scenarios since teams tend to keep a tight lid on their evaluations, but we can be sure that at least one player will start shooting up draft boards as the fateful July 29 date approaches.
As of now, here's my latest 2021 NBA Mock Draft.
