2026 NBA Mock Draft: Updated 60-Pick Projection After the Draft Combine

Updated May 20, 2026: As the 2026 NBA Draft process moves into its next phase, the board is beginning to take shape. The early-entry deadline has passed, the NBA Draft Lottery is complete, and the NBA Draft Combine has wrapped up in Chicago. For college players considering a return to school, the NCAA early-entry withdrawal deadline is May 27, while the final NBA early-entry withdrawal deadline is June 13. Those decisions should bring greater clarity ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft on June 23-24.

With the lottery order now set and the Combine having provided teams with measurements, interviews, medicals, and on-court evaluations, this updated two-round mock draft reflects the latest stage of the 2026 NBA Draft process. Several stay-or-go decisions are still looming, especially with the transfer portal and NIL continuing to shape the college basketball landscape, but the overall picture is starting to come into sharper focus.

With that in mind, below is our updated 2026 NBA Mock Draft, featuring a full two-round projection with links to scouting reports.
