FINAL NBA MOCK DRAFT

1. Suns: Deandre Ayton, Arizona, center, freshman, 7-1, 250 — Between his physical gifts and offensive tools, no player in the draft has a better chance at becoming a franchise cornerstone than Ayton.

2. Kings: Marvin Bagley III, Duke, forward, freshman, 6-11, 211 — Michael Porter Jr. would likely be the pick if the Kings were drafting lower, but the medical concerns relating to his back appear to have scared them off. Bagley’s ability to contribute immediately makes him less risky, with an outside chance that they go with Luka Doncic.

3. Hawks: Luka Doncic, Real Madrid, guard, 6-8, 220 — The EuroLeague MVP has excellent size, vision and range. At minimum he’s a savvy distributor for years; at maximum he’s an All-Star.

4. Grizzlies: Michael Porter Jr., Missouri, forward, freshman, 6-11, 211 — The heralded prospect was in the mix for the Kings, but due to the risk of drafting a combo-forward coming off back surgery, Porter slipped a bit. For what it’s worth, he’s handled the uncertainty of the predraft process with composure.

5. Mavs: Mo Bamba, Texas, center, freshman, 7-1, 225 — In addition to his tremendous on-court attributes — length, agility and timing — teams have been impressed with his approach to learning and studying the game.

6. Magic: Jaren Jackson Jr., Michigan State, forward, freshman, 6-11, 236 — Jackson’s pro potential — length, timing, ability to stretch the floor and defensive versatility — was always evident even if not necessarily showcased at Michigan State.

7. Bulls: Wendell Carter, Duke, forward, freshman, 6-10, 251 — High basketball IQ, sturdy frame, polished interior moves, it’s tough to see Carter being anything less than a steady, productive pro.

8. Cavaliers: Trae Young, Oklahoma, guard, freshman, 6-2, 177 — One of the most polarizing prospects in the draft, it’s fun to project his jitterbug finishes and rainbow 3-pointers at the next level.

9. Knicks: Collin Sexton, Alabama, guard, freshman, 6-2, 183 — Bullish and aggressive, Sexton plays downhill.

10. 76ers: Mikal Bridges, Villanova, guard, junior, 6-7, 210 — Teams are constantly in search of versatile, two-way wing players.

11. Hornets: Kevin Knox, Kentucky, forward, freshman, 6-9, 215 — As the NBA becomes more positionless, players such as Knox become even more coveted.

12. Clippers: Lonnie Walker, Miami (Fla.), guard, freshman, 6-5, 196 — Not many freshmen are built like Walker, one of the best athletes in the draft.

13. Clippers: Robert Williams, Texas A&M, center, sophomore, 6-10, 241 — Few prospects are as tantalizing as Williams in terms of his athleticism and agility.

14. Nuggets: Miles Bridges, Michigan State, forward, sophomore, 6-7, 220 — An explosive athlete with 3-point range, the biggest question for Bridges is oncourt fit.

15. Wizards: Zhaire Smith, Texas Tech, guard, freshman, 6-4, 198 — An exceptional athlete with a good motor, Smith could develop into a steal as a high-flying, transition-oriented guard.

16. Suns: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Kentucky, guard, freshman, 6-6, 180 — He has excellent length and size for his position, and he’ll become even more dangerous.

17. Bucks: Jerome Robinson, Boston College, guard, junior, 6-5, 188 — He flew under the radar, but Robinson is an athletic, efficient scorer who can hit from outside or drive the lane and finish.

18. Spurs: Troy Brown, Oregon, forward, freshman, 6-7, 208 — Wings are always at a premium, and though Brown isn’t known as a scorer, his multitude of other skills could offer value.

19. Hawks: Elie Okobo, Pau-Orthez (France), guard, 6-3, 180 — The lefty isn’t afraid to let it fly. He’s a shifty scorer from numerous levels.

20. Timberwolves: Donte DiVincenzo, Villanova, guard, sophomore, 6-5, 200 — His aggressive, three-level scoring approach won’t necessarily follow him to the NBA.

21. Jazz: Kevin Huerter, Maryland, forward, sophomore, 6-7, 190 — There’s a lot to like about the smooth-shooting forward.

22. Bulls: Chandler Hutchison, Boise State, guard, senior, 6-7, 197 — The fouryear wing thrives in the open court and is comfortable taking it end-to-end.

23. Pacers: Aaron Holiday, UCLA, guard, junior, 6-1, 185 — Crafty and heady, Holiday has excellent vision and doesn’t come with a ton of risk.

24. Blazers: Josh Okogie, Georgia Tech, guard, sophomore, 6-4, 213 — Has good two-way potential coupled with his bulky frame.

25. Lakers: De’Anthony Melton, Southern California, guard, sophomore, 6-3, 193 — A versatile, in-your-face defender.

26. 76ers: Keita Bates-Diop, Ohio State, forward, junior, 6-8, 223 — A good athlete with defensive versatilityl.

27. Celtics: Grayson Allen, Duke, guard, senior, 6-4, 198 — His stock rose with an impressive combine showing.

28. Warriors: Mitchell Robinson, Chalmette High School, center, 7-0, 233 — Perhaps no player has a wider range than Robinson, who passed on his lone year in college

29. Nets: Dzanan Musa, Cedevita (Croatia), forward, 6-9, 195 — A quicktrigger wing with good range, he’ll need to add bulk to compete on the defensive end.

30. Hawks: Jacob Evans, Cincinnati, guard, junior, 6-6, 210 — A wing with good size and versatility.
