2026 NBA Mock Draft: Gary Parrish's final projections following Giannis Antetokounmpo blockbuster trade

The 2026 NBA Draft is finally here, with the first round set to unfold later on Tuesday. When it does, commissioner Adam Silver will announce the names of 30 men who will, in that moment, have what was once surely a dream become a reality.

It's a cool experience every year.

And this year is even better than most, I think, because as many as four teams, and possibly more, can reasonably believe they are adding a future face of the franchise from this draft. The only question is in which order AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer and Caleb Wilson will come off the board. And what you'll find below in my latest and final mock is that I remain unchanged at the top.

Lots of noise.

Lots of reports.

Regardless, in the end, I'll be surprised if we're surprised. In other words, I still expect Washington to select AJ Dybantsa at No. 1, Utah to draft Darryn Peterson at No. 2, Memphis to get Cameron Boozer at No. 3 and Chicago to grab Caleb Wilson at No. 4. Then we'll get to see what the Clippers will do at No. 5. Or if they'll even keep the pick.

Breaking news on Monday and over the night also has added some intrigue to this draft. Michigan coach Dusty May left Ann Arbor for the Dallas Mavericks opening. Will that change what the Mavs do at No. 9 with three of his National Champion Wolverines still on the board at that point?

Why Dusty May leaving Michigan and college basketball behind in June isn't remotely surprising Matt Norlander

And then the big news we have all been waiting for: Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis traded to the Miami Heat for Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis and three first-round picks. Miami gets Milwaukee's No. 13 pick on Tuesday night. Does that change what we expect to happen at that point in the draft?

But back to the top of the draft. Am I convinced Dybantsa will be the best player from this draft?

Not necessarily.

But of the four players who should be under serious consideration for the top spot -- Dybantsa, Peterson, Boozer and Wilson -- I simply believe the 6-foot-9 forward from BYU who led college basketball in scoring this past season is the best combination of a high-ceiling/high-floor prospect. Peterson's ceiling might be higher -- but he seems riskier because of the way his one season unfolded at Kansas. Boozer's floor might be higher -- but even fans of his wonder exactly how high the ceiling really is. And, fairly or unfairly, Wilson is widely considered to be the biggest gamble of the four, in part because of a lack of a perimeter shot.

In my mind, that leaves Dybantsa as the top option for the top pick. This mock draft is me betting the Wizards will agree when it's time to announce things.

APG 3.7

3P% 33.1%

Dybantsa has moved to -550 in the betting markets to be the first pick, which is even bigger odds than he had before some reports started connecting Washington to Peterson. There's probably a lesson in there somewhere. Either way, what the Wizards are getting is a jumbo-wing and natural scorer who led the EYBL in points per game after his freshman season of high school and the entire nation in points per game during his freshman season at BYU. Based on that trajectory, and Dybantsa's awesome physical tools, it will not be surprising if he also someday leads the NBA in scoring. His presence should make the Wizards interesting for the first time in a while. Alongside Trae Young and Anthony Davis, Dybantsa could help Washington reach the postseason next year for the first time since 2021.

Round 1 - Pick 2

Darryn Peterson PG Kansas • 6'5" / 199 lbs

Projected Team Utah

APG 1.6

3P% 38.2%

As noted, I believe Peterson's theoretical ceiling is the highest of any player's in this draft. The talent is undeniable. But there are questions about whether he'll maximize his gifts because of the way his one season at Kansas unfolded. He was special in spots and at times looked like the best player in college basketball. But Peterson was also in and out of the lineup a lot -- sometimes by his own choice -- and that fact has raised concerns in some corners. Regardless, he won't have to wait long to hear his name called. Assuming it's by Utah, Peterson also shouldn't have to wait long to be in the playoffs, as the Jazz are positioned to compete in the West with a core of Peterson and former (but still young) All-Stars Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr..

Round 1 - Pick 3

Cameron Boozer PF Duke • 6'8" / 253 lbs

Projected Team Memphis

PROSPECT RNK 3rd

POSITION RNK 1st

PPG 22.5

RPG 10.2

APG 4.1

3P% 39.1%

The Grizzlies have traded Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. in the past year; Ja Morant is expected to go next. So the hope in Memphis is that the third pick in this draft delivers a new face of the franchise -- and, assuming he's available, it'll likely be Boozer. Given how the so-called Morant Era went off the rails with multiple suspensions before the franchise decided to pivot, selecting Boozer is the most sensible move here. All he's ever done is be awesome -- both on and off the court -- and win, win, win. If the Grizz grab him, their starting frontcourt on Opening Night should feature the 2023 and 2024 CBS Sports National Player of the Year (Zach Edey) and the 2026 CBS Sports National Player of the Year (Boozer).

Round 1 - Pick 4

Caleb Wilson PF North Carolina • 6'9" / 211 lbs

Projected Team Chicago

PROSPECT RNK 4th

POSITION RNK 2nd

PPG 19.8

RPG 9.4

APG 2.7

3P% 25.9%

Wilson to the Bulls is, in some people's eyes, the safest prediction in the top five, as he is widely viewed as the fourth-best prospect in a clear-cut top four. Great athlete. Terrific competitor. But Wilson is also a non-shooter headed to a league that values it, which is not ideal for a top-five pick. But the other stuff is too great to pass on. So, barring a twist, Wilson will play home games at the United Center.

From Indiana Pacers Round 1 - Pick 5

Keaton Wagler PG Illinois • 6'5" / 188 lbs

Projected Team L.A. Clippers

PROSPECT RNK 5th

POSITION RNK 2nd

PPG 17.9

RPG 5.1

APG 4.2

3P% 39.7%

The Clippers are an obvious candidate to trade down. And there are franchises reportedly trying to get into the top five. So don't be surprised if this pick gets moved. If it doesn't, though, Wagler makes a lot of sense as a jumbo lead guard who can play on or off the ball. Most importantly, the Clippers need a bigger guard beside Darius Garland, who is only 6-1 and under contract with Los Angeles for two more years, and Wagler is the tallest option among the guards expected to go in this range.

Round 1 - Pick 6

Mikel Brown Jr. PG Louisville • 6'5" / 180 lbs

Projected Team Brooklyn

PROSPECT RNK 8th

POSITION RNK 5th

PPG 18.2

RPG 3.3

APG 4.7

3P% 34.4%

The Nets took four guards in last year's draft, but none of them really did anything too encouraging as rookies for a 20-win team, which obviously isn't a great sign. Either way, that's my way of suggesting Brooklyn shouldn't hesitate to take a big swing on another guard here -- and the biggest swing they can take might be Brown, the one-and-done star from Louisville who was great when he played but limited to just 21 appearances because of a back issue. His best performance came in early February, when Brown made 10 3-pointers and finished with 45 points in a win over NC State. On that day, he looked like a top 10 pick. Tonight, he should be one.

Round 1 - Pick 7

Darius Acuff Jr. PG Arkansas • 6'2" / 186 lbs

Projected Team Sacramento

PROSPECT RNK 6th

POSITION RNK 3rd

PPG 23.5

RPG 3.1

APG 6.4

3P% 44%

Acuff and the Kings have been connected publicly for weeks with most indications suggesting this is the floor for the reigning SEC Player of the Year who just became the first man to lead that conference in points and assists since Pete Maravich did it at LSU in 1970. Special talent. Fun player. Would it be better if he were taller? Yes. Would it be better if he weren't a negative-defender? Also yes. But the offensive skill-set is special, and the potential for stardom seems present.

From New Orleans Pelicans Round 1 - Pick 8

Kingston Flemings PG Houston • 6'3" / 183 lbs

Projected Team Atlanta

PROSPECT RNK 7th

POSITION RNK 4th

PPG 16.1

RPG 4.1

APG 5.2

3P% 38.7%

The Hawks are in need of backcourt help after moving on from Trae Young last season. Flemings could provide it. The point guard prospect wasn't the highest-rated recruit in Houston's freshman class but emerged as the program's best player while helping the Cougars win 30 games and advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. He's the rare 19 year-old who is both a top-tier athlete and strong shooter. It's not hard to imagine him helping a playoff team in Atlanta, even as a rookie.

Round 1 - Pick 9

Brayden Burries SG Arizona • 6'4" / 215 lbs

Projected Team Dallas

PROSPECT RNK 9th

POSITION RNK 1st

PPG 16.1

APG 2.4

3P% 39.1%

The Mavericks created a big headline on the eve of the draft by luring Dusty May from Michigan to be their next coach. I'd be surprised if it's not a successful partnership, and a part of that will be tied to how things go with this pick. For a while now, I've had Burries slotted here -- and I'll stick with that even if May's hire has caused some to speculate that Dallas could grab one of the players who just helped him guide the Wolverines to the national championship, as Morez Johnson and Aday Mara would both be reasonable options for the Mavericks given where they're picking and the plan in place to build around reigning NBA Rookie of the Year Cooper Flagg. Trading down is also an option believed to be under consideration.

Round 1 - Pick 10

Nate Ament PF Tennessee • 6'10" / 211 lbs

Projected Team Milwaukee

PROSPECT RNK 10th

POSITION RNK 3rd

PPG 16.7

RPG 6.3

APG 2.3

3P% 33.3%

The Bucks finally pulled the trigger late Monday and moved Giannis Atetokounmpo to Miami for a package headlined by Tyler Herro. Up next is a likely rebuild. So Milwaukee taking a swing on Ament would be defensible. The wing with size had an up-and-down freshman season for the Vols -- but the upside isn't hard to spot. Less than a year ago, the 2025 McDonald's All-American was considered a possible top-five pick. So getting Ament here would be nice for a Bucks franchise that will likely finish outside of the top 10 in the East next season in the absence of their former two-time MVP.

Round 1 - Pick 11

Aday Mara C Michigan • 7'3" / 260 lbs

Projected Team Golden St.

PROSPECT RNK 11th

POSITION RNK 1st

PPG 12.1

RPG 6.8

APG 2.4

3P% 30%

Mara kind of splits the difference between a player ready to contribute and a prospect with plenty of room to grow, which makes the 21 year-old an obvious option for Golden State. In the Western Conference, the Warriors are now looking up at giants like Victor Wembanyama, Chet Holmgren and Rudy Gobert. So using this pick on a 7-3 center who can more or less look them eye-to-eye would be logical. Mara sees the floor well from way up there, passes effectively and finishes with both hands. But his real strength is on defense, where he blocked and altered shots all NCAA Tournament while helping the Wolverines win the national championship.

From Los Angeles Clippers Round 1 - Pick 12

Morez Johnson Jr. PF Michigan • 6'9" / 250 lbs

Projected Team Oklahoma City

PROSPECT RNK 17th

Johnson shot above 60% from the field as one of the Big Ten's best players while helping the Wolverines win the national championship. Like his teammate slotted one spot higher, though, his real value is on the other end of the court, where the 20 year-old anchored college basketball's best defense in his one year at Michigan after transferring from Illinois. Some sources have suggested this is probably the floor for Johnson -- especially if Mara is already off the board and thus not an option for an OKC team that might need to replace Isaiah Hartenstein.

From Miami Heat Round 1 - Pick 13

Hannes Steinbach PF Washington • 6'10" / 248 lbs

The Bucks acquired this pick in the past 24 hours when they traded superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami for a package that also included Tyler Herro and Kel'el Ware. I have Milwaukee using the selection on Steinbach, the 20-year-old German who proved to be an elite rebounder on both ends in his one season at Washington. Let the rebuild begin.

Round 1 - Pick 14

Yaxel Lendeborg PF Michigan • 6'9" / 241 lbs

Projected Team Charlotte

PROSPECT RNK 12th

POSITION RNK 4th

PPG 15.1

3P% 37.2%

Lendeborg transferred from UAB to Michigan and was the best player on a team that won the NCAA Tournament one year after he didn't even win Player of the Year honors in the sport's 11th-best conference (American). Just an awesome story. That he's already 23 years old will turn some franchises off, and his big personality is something that's come up. But, if Lendeborg is available at No 14, none of that should bother a Charlotte franchise that won 44 games this season, especially when two of the team's best players are 23 (Brandon Miller) and 24 (LaMelo Ball).

From Portland Trail Blazers Round 1 - Pick 15

PROSPECT RNK 20th

POSITION RNK 2nd

Carr emerged as a real top-20 option after transferring from Tennessee to Baylor and having one of the biggest breakout years in the sport while averaging 14.1 more points per game with the Bears than he averaged previously with the Vols. The 21-year-old has long arms and a solid-enough jumper. In this mock, he lands beside Wilson in Chicago as s major part of the Bulls' rebuild.

From Phoenix Suns Round 1 - Pick 16

Christian Anderson PG Texas Tech • 6'1" / 180 lbs

Projected Team Memphis

PROSPECT RNK 21st

PPG 18.5

RPG 3.6

APG 7.4

3P% 41.5%

There are reports that Memphis is trying to package this pick with other assets to acquire a second top-10 selection. That's my way of saying there's a decent chance the Grizz won't even make this pick. If they do, though, Anderson should be an option after going from an intriguing freshman at Texas Tech to one of the Big 12's stars and best prospects. The sophomore from Atlanta kept the Red Raiders relevant even after JT Toppin, the 2025 Big 12 Player of the Year, went down with a torn ACL in February. Anderson has been described as the best shooter in this class after making 41.5% of the 7.9 3-pointers he attempted this season. In theory, he could offset some of the shooting Memphis sent to Orlando when it traded Desmond Bane last summer.

From Philadelphia 76ers Round 1 - Pick 17

This is another spot where the team slotted to select here could change given the Thunder still have more picks than they probably want or need even after trading Aaron Wiggins to Atlanta this weekend. If the Thunder execute the pick, keep an eye on Lopez, as this is his perceived range. The 19 year-old is a physical wing from Mexico with lots of positives. If the 3-point shot comes around, and as long as he doesn't prove to be a liability on defense, Lopez would be a terrific snag here for an Oklahoma City franchise trying to figure out what's next after losing in the Western Conference Finals to the Spurs.

Not every prospect who returns to college actually enhances his draft stock -- but Philon definitely did. The sophomore guard played more on-the-ball for Alabama than he did in the previous season, and the result was better assist numbers and a 3-point percentage that jumped to 39.9. The unusual amount of top-shelf lead guards available this year will push Philon down further than he'd go in most drafts, but that just makes him a value-pick at this point for the Hornets.

Round 1 - Pick 19

Bennett Stirtz PG Iowa • 6'3" / 186 lbs

Projected Team Toronto

It's rare for somebody to end up as a first-round pick after starting a college career at the Division II level, but Stirtz has a real chance to do it. Concerns about how he'll defend in the NBA are valid. But Stirtz is a lead guard with a good assist-to-turnover ratio and reliable jumper. High basketball IQ. All that stuff. If I were running a franchise, I wouldn't overthink this one. He can play and will be in the NBA for a long time.

Seemingly every year now there's an off-the-radar prospect who generates attention largely because of an interesting statistical profile. Graves is that player in this draft. The 6-9 forward was a zero-star prospect in the Class of 2025 but is now a 19 year-old near the top of analytics boards. His ability to make shots and rebound with a good body will secure him a guaranteed contract -- but Graves remains among the biggest mysteries for casual fans who simply didn't see him play much in college.

Okorie's lack of size shouldn't be an issue in Detroit, where jumbo-guard Cade Cunningham can comfortably pair with smaller players in the backcourt. That alone should make Okorie among the options if he's still available here. The 19 year-old led the ACC in scoring and tallied at least 33 points five different times this season, including a career-high 40 in a win over Georgia Tech. If you like guards who can bounce it and get by people, Okorie is your guy.

If Mara helped himself more than any other prospect in the NCAA Tournament, Reed wasn't far behind him on the list. The UConn center averaged 19.5 points and 13.2 rebounds in the Big Dance while helping the Huskies reach the championship game. He's more of a traditional center than a modern center -- but that's OK in today's game. Traditional centers still hold value. And it's not like Joel Embiid is going to play forever in Philadelphia.

Cenac will not be selected in this draft in a way that correlates with where he was ranked coming out of high school -- but he's still a likely first-round pick after starting for a Houston team that finished 30-7. Some have argued he should've done another year at Houston, and I get that. But there's little risk of Cenac slipping too far. If he develops quickly enough, the 19 year-old could crack the rotation in Atlanta, where they clearly need frontcourt depth if the goal is to finish in the top six in the East again.

Michael Malone's first year at UNC would've been a lot simpler if he could've kept Veesaar in school, but the talented big decided to forgo his final year of eligibility in favor of a professional career. Did Veesaar leave money on the table with this move? Perhaps. But it's a move that made the draft deeper after other first-round prospects like Braylon Mullins and Thomas Haugh decided to remain in college, and the Knicks could be the franchise that benefits from it, especially if they are counting on losing Mitchell Robinson via unrestricted free agency.

That's not ideal for the modern-NBA and why Peat's draft-range seems vast.

Brooklyn secured this pick Monday by being willing to take Julius Randle out of Minnesota in what amounts to a salary dump of the former All-Star. I have them using the aquired asset on Quaintance, who was once a projected top-10 pick before a knee injury sidelined him for much of the past 17 months. If not for that, there's no way Quaintance would be available this deep in this draft. So Brooklyn might be wise to take a swing on the shot-altering big, especially considering he's oozing with potential and still only 18 years old.

Awesome story. Is he undersized for a center? Definitely yes. But Ejiofor does have a 7-2 wingspan and great motor, and those two things, combined with a great reputation as a competitor and winner, are going to give him a chance to stick.

But there's definitely stuff here for Dallas to work with, starting with the fact that Swain is an explosive athlete who impacts things on both ends.

Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'

Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.

The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.

Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.

But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.

'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.

'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'

The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.

Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'

A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs

Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband (above, right, in 2010) is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts

But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'

A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.

'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.

Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.

'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.

'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.

'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.

'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'

'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.

'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'

Venezuela Fury and Noah Price subsidising their life by livestreaming

Venezuela Fury and her husband Noah Price look to be making their own way in the world by raking it in from their lucrative social media accounts.

Since getting married and moving in together the couple have been earning thousands of pounds a month, livestreaming their life as newlyweds in their static caravan in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

And fans can't get enough of their regular life updates on TikTok and Kick, which have proved to be very profitable for the pair.

They look to be supporting themselves after Noah denied that he was given £5million by Venezuela's family as a wedding gift.

Despite his wife's huge family wealth, an estimated combined £160 million, Noah recently told his Kick followers that he 'pays for everything' for the couple.

Making light of the claims about Venezuela's millionaire financial status, Noah said: 'I actually pay for everything unfortunately. You'd expect the millionaire to pay for it wouldn't you.'

Venezuela then asked their fans: 'Do you think I am a millionaire?'

Noah joked: 'She isn't a secret millionaire guys', before she broke into song and sang: 'But I live like a millionaire!'

But it seems according to estimated calculations from their social media work, Noah and Venezuela can more than afford to support themselves.

Noah has been livestreaming on platforms such as Kick and TikTok, where viewers can send paid gifts or donations.

He was previously encouraging viewers to send gifts on his honeymoon during livestreams, suggesting this is one revenue stream.

Both Noah and Venezuela have built substantial followings on Instagram and TikTok. They can potentially earn money through sponsored posts, brand collaborations, affiliate links and creator payouts.

Kick allows its creators to take home 95 per cent of the £4.99 subscription cost that fans pay.

Streamers keep 100 per cent of direct tips and donations, minus minor standard payment processing fees.

It is unclear how many subscribers Noah currently has because this information is hidden, but he does have 7,200 followers which is publicly viewable.

An industry insider has suggested Noah is making around £400 per video on TikTok, while Venezuela is likely to make £2,000 due to her following count of 1.3 million.

In one video on their honeymoon, Noah asked his followers if they'd give them some more gifts now that they were married.

In a TikTok live viewed by 20,000 he said: 'Keep liking our videos people, keep sending gifts.'

After saying thank you to several of his followers he joked they should stick around on the livestream and 'watch Venezuela punch me in the mouth'.

The other half of the honeymooning couple said: 'I am, honestly!'

Noah previously confirmed that the pair don't share their finances after they were asked whether they have a shared bank account.

'She earns her money, I earn mine,' said Noah, as Venezuela joked: 'Yeah, what you gonna do about it.'

Noah went on to debunk the rumour that Tyson gave him £5million when he tied the knot with his daughter as he insisted: 'No Tyson did not give me £5million'.

Meanwhile Venezuela is being eyed up by executives for a fly on the wall TV series.

Boasting 1.3 million TikTok followers, Venezuela is already entertaining fans with her honest musings and candid moments, from cooking to kitting out her and Noah's static caravan home.

And following the success of the Netflix series At Home With The Furys, it is no wonder bosses are wanting to draw on the Fury popularity.

A TV insider said: 'The couple are not A-list celebrities but everyone has become obsessed with their love story.

'People are genuinely intrigued by them. Whether it’s the fact they have married so young, Venezuela’s famous family or their gypsy lifestyle, they have the ‘X factor'.

'Several TV executives think a proper fly-on-the-wall series following their lives as newlyweds in the gypsy community would be fascinating,' they told The Sun.

It is thought Netflix would be likely to produce the series due to their already established relationship with the Furys.

Venezuela's representatives told The Daily Mail: 'We have many offers on the table regarding Venezuela which we are discussing.'
