One of the most anticipated dates in recent NBA times was May 10th, the day of the NBA Draft Lottery. That’s when we know the order for one of the most touted drafts in recent times, featuring an elite trio of top prospects, along with another group of quality players.
After months of a number of teams tanking, along with several scenarios that could’ve reshaped the league for years to come, the results turned out very interesting. Two teams (Chicago and Memphis) jumped into the top four and were among the biggest overall winners.

However, it was the Washington Wizards who were the biggest winner, landing the No. 1 overall spot and getting their preferred pick of the draft. Is it clear who they’ll take in June? Here’s a look at the latest mock NBA Draft, including players who are both committed and seriously considering staying in the draft from college.
1. Washington Wizards - AJ Dybantsa
2025-26 stats (BYU): 25.5 ppg, 6.8 rpg, and 3.7 apg
After making a pair of trades involving former NBA all-stars (Trae Young and Anthony Davis), the Wizards have the first pick in the NBA Draft to accelerate the rebuild. The pick will likely be Dybantsa, a three-level scorer who can be the face of a franchise. The 6’8 forward has the highest ceiling of anyone and can be the best offensive player to come out of the draft and be a focal point on day one.
2. Utah Jazz - Darryn Peterson
2025-26 stats (Kansas): 20.2 ppg and 4.2 rpg
Whenever he wasn’t dealing with cramps, Peterson was an elite scorer in his lone year in college. He’s an outstanding shot-creator who can give the Jazz the kind of perimeter player they’ve been missing since Donovan Mitchell. While he isn’t the greatest creator for others, Peterson’s pure scoring ability alone is worth the pick.
3. Memphis Grizzlies - Cameron Boozer
2025-26 stats (Duke): 22.5 ppg, 10.2 rpg, and 4.4 apg
While he wasn’t as Cooper Flagg in the year prior for Duke, Boozer proved to be an all-time college great in his own right as a two-way player. He’s the ideal superstar for the Grizzlies' rebuild, giving them an elite frontcourt player in a Western Conference already filled with them.
4. Chicago Bulls - Caleb Wilson
2025-26 stats (North Carolina): 19.8 ppg and 9.4 rpg
Wilson’s season-ending thumb injury hurt his chances of surpassing Boozer as the first power forward taken in the NBA Draft, but he’s a safe top-4 pick, thanks to his elite scoring and rebounding ability and high-floor athleticism. He and Matas Buzelis can become a top-tier Eastern Conference frontcourt in a short time.
