2. Houston: Evan Mobley
3. Cleveland: Jalen Green
4. Toronto: Jalen Suggs
5. Orlando: Jonathan Kuminga
6. OKC: Scottie Barnes
7. GSW: Franz Wagner (if not traded)
8. Orlando: Moses Moody
9. Sacramento: James Boughknight
10. NOP: Davion Mitchell
11. Charlotte: Kai Jones
12. SAS: Jalen Johnson
13. Indiana: Corey Kispert
14. GSW: Ziaire Williams
15. Washington: Keon Johnson
16. OKC: Josh Giddey
17. Memphis: Ayo Dosunmu
18. OKC: Alperen Sengun
19. New York: Nah'Shon Hyland

21. New York: Jaden Springer
22. LAL: Usman Garuba
23. Houston: Cameron Thomas
24. Houston: Greg Brown III
25. LAC: Tre Mann
26. Denver: Miles McBride
27. Brooklyn: Chris Duarte
28. Philadelphia: Jared Butler
29. Phoenix: Sharife Cooper
30. Utah: Charles Bassey
31. Milwaukee: Roko Prkacin
32. New York: Johnny Juzang
33. Orlando: Daishen Nix
34. OKC: Marcus Bagley
35. NOP: Isaiah Livers
36. OKC: DJ Stewart
37. Detroit: Jeremiah Robinson-Earl
38. Chicago: Isaiah Jackson
39. Sacramento: Joel Ayayi
40. NOP: Isaiah Todd
41. SAS: Filip Petrusev
42. Detroit: Juhann Begarin
43. NOP: BJ Boston
44. Brooklyn: David Johnson
45. Boston: Herb Jones

Isaiah Livers is someone I’d really like at 45, but it would be really surprising to see him go as high as 35.  Nice player, but a role player ceiling with significant injury concerns.

Here's my mock up until 45, for obvious reasons:



TP for spelling everyone’s name correctly. As a Gonzaga fan I was getting tired of seeing Corey Kispert’s in the mocks as Cory Krisper, among others.

Wow. BJ Boston’s stock has really taken a hit since 2020! Kinda like the Celtics. I have seen a couple of mocks with him in the 40s now. He was projecting as a borderline lottery pick before this season.
Haha, I had to double-check Prkacin - feels so unnatural not typing a vowel between the 'r' and the 'k'.

Boston's stock has taken a pretty significant hit. I know Ainge was big on guys who had unimpressive freshman years but were highly rated high-school prospects - unsure if Stevens is the same way. His shooting percentages were atrocious, but I think he can turn it around in the right system.

It could be a bit high for him, but I think an NBA-ready bench level wing is what New Orleans need desperately in the 2nd round. Naji Marshall is an alright bench wing, but Iwundu, Gabriel and Louzada are not good at all, which is why I think they could be interested in Livers. Elite shooting around Zion is something they should definitely look at, and Livers picks really good shots (as you would be aware of being a Michigan guy).
I'd be thrilled if he fell to us

SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

BJ Boston is going to be a crazy player to watch on draft night. Listening to Ford's POD he is speculating that his camp is still acting like he is a lottery pick while teams are not giving that impression at all. With the Knicks / UK connection I will be surprised to see him not go 19 or 21 and will make this a change on my mock.

You are right. It is insane how far people have fallen on BJ Boston. He was floating around as a possibility for the Celtics pick on this board. Is he the biggest value fall of the Cal Kentucky era? I can't remember somebody falling from 8-20 to mid second. That's crazy.

45. Boston: Herb Jones

I think Moody and Wagner is too high.... but thats just me

Moody can shoot but is "slow ish" imo.   How is that going to translate?   

Wagner is like a utility knife. Doesn't excel in any one aspect of the game.    Unlike Barnes, who is also like a utility knife but has a beast body.  There is a higher ceiling

Herb Jones is ok.  But is not a particularly good shooter/nor scorer.   

No Yves Pons on the list? 

Livers could very well likely be taken at 35. But I hope not and is still available at 45.   I dig his confidence

Moody isn't an elite athlete, but he has a monstrous 7'1" wingspan which really helps him. Reminds me of a more talented Mikal Bridges, and Orlando are in desperate need of some young wing players alongside Isaac, Carter Jr. and Anthony.

I think Wagner will be an elite NBA defender eventually, which some do not agree with. Barnes is more athletic, but Wagner outplayed him in their match-up. Not too much separation for my mind.

Jones isn't really a shooter or scorer, but is elite at defence and passes well, which is what I want. Can also play 2-4.

I think Pons will go in the latter half. He's very very raw.

Livers could hopefully slide, but I think a team will go early on an NBA ready guy like him

Couple thoughts

Julian Champagnie had a workout for the Cs and on paper is a clear NBA wing prospect, I question his motor but at #45 could be a nice future bench piece.

Hyland to the Clippers makes a ton of sense to me, I projected him to be a Lou Williams like 6th man

BJ Boston to NY feels like a safe bet, the UK connection should protect him from falling

I Jackson may have a promise and given prior history, draft range and roster OKC makes sense

G Brown seems to be slipping to 2nd round based off of media reports. He would be a guy I'd love to see Celtics move up from 45 to get in the 30s.
