Mock 1.0
1. Spurs - Victor Wembanyama (duh)
2. Hornets - Scoot Henderson (Hornets take character over another wing with legal issues)
3. Trailblazers - Brandon Miller (either Dame or the pick is getting traded)
4. Rockets - Jarace Walker (first surprise; Rox take the high-floor and versatile local guy with an eye on Harden coming into town)
5. Pistons - Taylor Hendricks (Pistons have guards for days, but need glue guys/ wings)
6. Magic - Amen Thompson (tough board for the Magic, but they take Amen for defense and size on the wing)
7. Pacers - Anthony Black (Pacers are stuck between competing and rebuilding, and Black fits in either way)
8. Wizards - Cason Wallace (Washington is the island of misfit toys, but Cason actually slots in nicely)
9. Jazz - Jordan Hawkins (Jazz will be upset to miss out on Cason, but Hawkins adds some needed perimeter shooting)
10. Mavs - Trayce Jackson-Davis (a bad board for the Mavs, but after desperately shopping around for anyone who is in love with Ausar Thompson, the Mavs take the ready-to-play TJD)
