The 2026 NBA Draft will be held on June 23rd and 24th at Barclays Center in New York City. The Portland Trail Blazers don’t currently have a pick in this year’s draft, but that won’t dull the buzz around it any. This is supposed to be one of the deepest, most top-heavy drafts in recent memory.
Thanks to the annual Spursmas Celebration…uhhhh…NBA Draft Lottery Drawing held last weekend, we now know that the order of draft selection will read like this:
- Washington Wizards
- Utah Jazz
- Memphis Grizzlies
- Chicago Bulls
We also know that the consensus Top 4 players in
the draft are AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer, and Caleb Wilson, but guys like Keaton Wagler, Mikel Brown Jr., and Darius Acuff Jr. are hot on their heels.
Mock drafts will have the order shifting 102 times between now and late June. We want to nail down your predictions early. As one of the smartest fanbases in existence, what do you think the Top 4 order in this year’s draft will look like? Name your players and reasoning in the comments section below.
Note that you should figure trades into your predictions. In other words, if you think Utah passes Washington a little spiff to not take a certain player first overall, or that the teams draft in order but then swap immediately after, let us know that!
Let’s see who you think goes in what order. Who’s going to have bragging rights on the 23rd?
P.S. It absolutely SUCKS that the Blazers didn’t participate in the lottery this year, because every OTHER team with a “Z” in their name got promoted into the Top 4. What a missed opportunity! If only we had known.
