NBA Draft 2019: Clear top three in pre-NCAA Tournament mock

There are a clear top three prospects in the upcoming 2019 NBA Draft, but where will they land? Who will go behind them? Find out in this latest mock.

The NCAA Basketball regular season is coming to a close (for many mid-majors, it already has), meaning that we’ve seen almost all we’re going to see from the nation’s top 2019 NBA Draft prospects.

Of course, the NCAA Tournament is the time where we see new stars emerge and players really improve their draft stock. Just ask Donte DiVincenzo, who went from a mid to late-second round pick to a top 20 pick thanks to his play during Villanova’s national title run last year.

There’s bound to be plenty of movement between now and then but, largely, the top prospects have separated themselves over the course of the last few months.

That’s certainly true at the top where Zion Williamson, R.J. Barrett, and Ja Morant have clearly separated themselves as the top three prospects.

But in what order will those three go, and how is the draft currently projected to shake out behind them? Find out in our latest mock 2019 NBA Draft.

(Draft order as of 3/2/19)

30) Milwaukee Bucks – Jalen McDaniels, SF/PF, San Diego State
Milwaukee has been notorious for adding length and versatility over the past few years and I don’t expect them to stray from that strategy. McDaniels is a lengthy 6-10 forward who needs to get stronger but has guard-like skills on the perimeter.

29) San Antonio Spurs (via Toronto Raptors) – Daniel Gafford, PF, Arkansas
The Spurs are in the process of revamping their roster with more youth, and Gafford would provide them with the kind of uber-athletic rim protector they haven’t had in a very, very long time.

28) Golden State Warriors – Naz Reid, PF, LSU
In all likelihood, DeMarcus Cousins won’t be returning to the Warriors next season. Why not replace him with a young big man who can shoot, pass, handle the ball, and work down low in the post as well? Reid is someone who I think will be a big riser come tournament time.

27) Brooklyn Nets (via Denver Nuggets) – Ayo Dosunmu, PG/SG, Illinois
Dosunmu is still raw but is an elite athlete. I know Brooklyn is more than happy with All-Star D’Angelo Russell running the point but Ayo can play either guard position and would provide a spark off the bench. Plus, his upside is tremendous.

26) Indiana Pacers – Grant Williams, PF, Tennessee
Indiana has used a small ball four for a while now with Thaddeus Young, but he’s not going to be around forever. Williams is a solid, reliable player with a high basketball IQ. He may not have great upside but, at this point in the draft, would provide excellent value at the position.
