2026 NBA Mock Draft: Updated 60-Pick Projection With AJ Dybantsa at No. 1 and Just Weeks Remaining

Updated June 3, 2026: The early-entry deadline has passed, the NBA Draft Lottery is complete, the NBA Draft Combine has wrapped up, and the NCAA early-entry withdrawal deadline has come and gone. The final NBA early-entry withdrawal deadline is June 13, which should provide additional clarity ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft on June 23-24.


With the lottery order now set, trade rumors swirling, 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 remain, particularly among international prospects who are still eligible to withdraw by the NBA deadline.


At the top of the draft, names like AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer, and Caleb Wilson continue to headline the conversation, while the rest of the board remains fluid as teams finalize their evaluations, explore trade possibilities, and split hairs late in the evaluation process.


Below is our updated 2026 NBA Mock Draft, featuring a full two-round projection with links to scouting reports.
