2026 T10B MOCK NBA DRAFT
Synopsis: Given the talent available in the 2026 NBA Draft, no one should have been surprised by the amount of tanking that occurred during the 2025-26 NBA season. Unlike last year when Cooper Flagg was considered the overwhelming favorite for the 1st overall pick, this year’s draft has at least four worthy candidates (AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer, and Caleb Wilson) to go #1. Still, the money has settled on a preferred order with Kalshi pre-draft prices at: $0.91 for Dybantsa to go #1; $0.75 for Peterson to go #2; $0.76 for Boozer to go #3; and $0.85 for Wilson to go #4. Each of these one-and-done players is joined by 6 other freshmen in the 2026 T10B Mock NBA Draft. As you’ll see below, there’s very little variability among published mock drafts regarding these picks. Instead, the variability involves which one(s) will not live up to the hype and become a garden variety or an all-time bust. With the draft less than 2 hours away, let the fun begin.
