In HoopsHype’s fourth Aggregate 2026 Mock Draft, our pre-March Madness rankings reveal a class that’s finally coming into focus. A top tier trio is solidified, vying for the no. 1 pick. A second tier of four players has separated itself from the rest of the lottery. As we near NCAA tournament time, the “what have you done lately?” factor is real, with players like AJ Dybantsa surging with playmaking flashes and others, like Darryn Peterson, who is battling through the noise of his play. His stats are fine but physically he does look limited.
In the back half of the first round, you have a group of younger players like Jayden Quaintance and Alijah Arenas who, despite their impressive tools, are generating real buzz as potential returnees – motivated by NIL money and the appeal of entering a much weaker 2027 class. Then you have prospects like Tyler Tanner and Meleek Thomas, who face a straightforward financial decision: if they’re not locks for the top 20, they’d probably make more money returning to school or transferring for a NIL deal than they would on a rookie contract. And then there are the older, plug-and-play types like Thomas Haugh and Yaxel Lendeborg, whose NBA-ready skills make them viewed as locks to hear their names called.
Across the board, the feedback from our sources is that this is a draft class deep in guard and wing talent, but with a lack of standouts from a thin, and often injured, frontcourt pool. The only question is who will actually stay in the draft among those who haven’t exhausted their collegiate eligibility and aren’t guaranteed a Top 20 selection.
NOTE: These rankings reflect the composite score to get a feel for the overall consensus, not our own opinion. For this Aggregate Mock Draft, we used mocks from ESPN, NBADraft.net, CBS Sports, The Athletic, Bleacher Report, Babcock Hoops, SB Nation, USA Today Sports and No Ceilings.

6-5 | 195 lbs | 6-10 WS | Freshman

Darryn Peterson still ranks at the top of our AMD, regardless of the concerns about him not being fully healthy or criticism of his “I kind of have been an anti-social loner my whole life” comments, as they’re overblown hysteria caused by social media and college basketball pundits. Kansas basketball, under head coach Bill Self, plays an antiquated style of offense that, including this year, has now gone on several consecutive seasons of being one of the worst perimeter shooting teams, ranking in the bottom half of 365 qualifying Division I basketball programs.
Peterson has understandably not seemed like himself recently in terms of athleticism, and on the season, his AST/TO of 0.92 and lackluster defensive efforts (he has negative defensive win shares) remain the only questionable aspects of his freshman campaign. However, his shot-making and range from deep have been on display. He has scored in double digits in every single game this season.
Scouts we spoke with share the belief that his struggles stem from the combination of Bill Self’s system at Kansas, load management, and a lack of teammates (outside of Tre White and Flory Bidunga) who can consistently hit shots.

AJ Dybantsa has been trending up with big performances versus Big 12 conference opponents, including a loss to Arizona (35 points, 7 rebounds) and a win vs. Iowa State (19 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists), which has opened up his playmaking ability due to the gravity he commands. As a result, in six of his last nine games, he has had four or more assists (three of those games had seven or more assists). His passing development shows he is starting to put the ball on a string, but his sub-1.3 assist-to-turnover ratio (5 turnovers vs. OSU and 7 vs. CU) does highlight his tendency to sometimes force passes or telegraph them to the defense.
Best rank: 2 / Worst rank: 3

Over the last month, his model consistency has been highlighted by dominant performances against Wake Forest (32 points, 55 percent shooting) and Stanford (30 points, 14 rebounds, 4 steals), and he is on pace to potentially surpass Zion Williamson’s record for highest BPM (Williamson’s is 20.1; Boozer currently sits at 20.4). His only knock is that he is “limited” explosively as an athlete, or that he is a tweener who’ll play as a combo big but might not be large enough to guard some NBA centers or quick enough to stay in front of some of the more athletic fours in the league. For us, along with the coaches and scouts we spoke to, he has the safest and highest floor of the top three prospects.
Best rank: 4 / Worst rank: 5
6-9 | 205 lbs | 7-0 WS | Freshman
Statistics: 19.8 ppg, 9.4 rpg, 2.7 apg, 1.5 spg, 1.4 bpg, 57.8% FG, 25.9% 3P in 24 games this season
Caleb Wilson suffered a fracture in his left hand in the loss to Miami on February 10th and hasn’t played since. However, prior to the injury, he was showing athletic ability we haven’t seen from a collegiate four since Blake Griffin’s Oklahoma days. Wilson set a North Carolina freshman record of scoring 20-plus points in 17 games and counting. His motor, defensive upside and ability to attack the rim are what stands out besides being a freak of nature. His playmaking is underrated with five games of four or more assists as he creates for his teammates when he notices tilted defenses.
Best rank: 4 / Worst rank: 19
6-3 | 175 lbs | 6-5 WS | Freshman

Over the past month, his shot and finishing haven’t been as consistent as they were at the beginning of the year, but that’s expected with the ebbs and flows of a season. Flemings has shown all year that he is quick off the bounce with an advanced layup package to go with his three-level scoring. It’s his playmaking – a 2.65 assist-to-turnover ratio while taking care of the ball – that makes him stand out as the best facilitating guard in this class, as he doesn’t force the issue.
Best rank: 5 / Worst rank: 8
6-4 | 173 lbs | 6-6 WS | Freshman
Statistics: 18.2 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 4.7 apg, 1.2 spg, 0.1 bpg, 41.0% FG, 34.4% 3P in 21 games this season
Mikel Brown Jr.’s tantalizing shot-making ability from deep (he leads all freshmen in three-point makes over 25 feet, including a historic 45-point explosion against NC State) is undeniable, but his production remains inconsistent. Since that game, he has had multiple single-digit scoring outings, and his volatility was on full display in a 1-13 shooting performance against Duke. Brown has the three-point shooting (7.7 attempts per game), size, ballhandling, and passing skills to make him a worthy lottery pick. The concern is that he is a score-first guard who is a poor defender due to effort, has a poor 1.51 assist-to-turnover ratio and isn’t disciplined enough to hold his own on the defensive end. One scout told HoopsHype that Brown Jr. will need to go to a team whose culture will help develop the necessary strength training and defensive aptitude he needs to be successful.
Best rank: 5 / Worst rank: 10
6-10 | 185 lbs | 7-0 WS | Freshman
Statistics: 17.4 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 2.4 apg, 1.0 spg, 0.5 bpg, 41.4% FG, 32.8% 3P in 29 games this season
Nate Ament has gone from a potential sharpshooting combo forward to a slashing forward who has started to manufacture points at the charity stripe, showing solid ballhandling ability to penetrate the paint using either ball screens or off-ball screens to create those chances. Concerns about his lack of intensity, consistency, and defensive effort worry NBA front offices. His mix of size, ability to pass, dribble, and shoot makes him a worthy flier.
Best rank: 8 / Worst rank: 24
6-10 | 250 lbs | 7-5 WS | Sophomore
Statistics: 5.0 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 0.5 apg, 0.5 spg, 0.8 bpg, 57.1% FG, 0.0% 3P in 4 games this season
At the end of January, Kentucky confirmed that Jayden Quaintance is out indefinitely with knee swelling. His father later clarified that the injury he suffered in February 2025 at Arizona State involved a torn ACL, torn meniscus and a related fracture. Before the setback, Quaintance flashed intriguing physical tools and rim protection at Arizona State last year and for Kentucky in limited minutes. However, there is a growing belief among sources who spoke to HoopsHype that Quaintance will return to college for an additional season, as he isn’t even 19 years old yet and the 2027 NBA Draft class is considered very weak compared to 2026. Beyond that, his abysmal shooting raises significant concerns about his offensive ability outside of the paint, not to mention the elephant in the room: how healthy he will be for consistent NBA minutes.
Best rank: 5 / Worst rank: 37
6-6 | 185 lbs | 6-8 WS | Freshman
Statistics: 18.3 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 4.3 apg, 0.9 spg, 0.3 bpg, 45.3% FG, 42.3% 3P in 29 games this season
During the month-long span that senior lead guard Kylen Boswell was out with an injury, Keaton Wagler was more on-ball, which showed some flaws in his game as an iso scorer. His inability to create separation and elevate is a reminder of his limitations as an athlete. Without a guard creating for him, Wagler looked rough against a good Michigan State defense on February 7.
Film shows Wagler is highly efficient in the pick-and-roll (53.5 percent on two-pointers, 48.6 percent from three, 65 percent free throw rate) but struggles significantly in isolation (38.5 percent on two-pointers, 33.3 percent from three, 48 percent free throw rate) relative to his overall averages. He’s a solid, crafty driver, too, but can he improve his handle, show more step-back moves, and work on his change of gears to be more deceptive if he doesn’t have enough burst to be an off-the-dribble threat? Sources who spoke with HoopsHype believe he has stapled himself to the lottery, with teams willing to overlook his flaws as an athlete because of his incredible shooting and feel for the game.
Best rank: 8 / Worst rank: 20
6-3 | 180 lbs | 6-6 WS | Freshman
Statistics: 22.0 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 6.2 apg, 0.8 spg, 0.4 bpg, 49.1% FG, 42.9% 3P in 29 games this season
Darius Acuff plays with such swagger and has been a superstar for John Calipari, seen in his eruptions against Alabama’s state universities – 49 points against Alabama (6-of-10 from three) and 31 points against Auburn (7-of-10 from three). Acuff offers shot creation either for himself via ball screens or isolations and for his teammates (3.22 assist-to-turnover ratio). What stands out about Acuff offensively is how he plays off the ball, using his shooting gravity and athleticism for backdoor cuts or ball slips to create open looks for himself. He operates with precision while being built physically like a running back with a great balance of speed and decisiveness. Acuff is rising fast and has entered the conversation alongside Brown Jr. and Flemings as the top point guard prospect in this class.
Best rank: 7 / Worst rank: 28
6-8 | 235 lbs | 6-11 WS | Freshman
Statistics: 13.7 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 2.7 apg, 0.7 spg, 0.7 bpg, 53.8% FG, 33.3% 3P in 26 games this season
Koa Peat missed time due to a hand injury (he returned against Kansas after missing two games), but his current rank doesn’t reflect that he is viewed as a fringe lottery player. Some scouts HoopsHype spoke with have him slipping out of their Top 15.
Peat is a powerful athlete and solid finisher who has enough handle to put the rock on the floor and use his face-up game to get a basket. Concerns continue, as he is a 6-foot-8 power forward/center who isn’t an elite rebounder, has made a total of six three-pointers, doesn’t protect the rim, and isn’t an elite switch defender who can guard every position.
Best rank: 9 / Worst rank: 16
6-5 | 185 lbs | 6-7 WS | Freshman
Statistics: 12.1 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 1.3 apg, 1.1 spg, 0.6 bpg, 45.1% FG, 38.2% 3P in 23 games this season
Braylon Mullins is an off-ball shooting threat who can hit shots off the catch, off screens and in spot-up situations extremely well. He is also a solid cutter to the rim, although he doesn’t draw as many fouls as you would like. He has solid size and competitiveness to make him an adequate NBA defender. As a complementary scorer who doesn’t force the issue, Mullins has only had two games of 20-plus points, but he has scored in double figures in every game this season except for six contests. His biggest knock is that, as consistent as he is, he rarely takes over games or seems able to carry an offense.
Best rank: 8 / Worst rank: 19
6-11 | 233 lbs | 7-4 WS | Freshman
Statistics: 9.6 ppg, 7.6 rpg, 0.9 apg, 0.8 spg, 0.4 bpg, 49.4% FG, 32.9% 3P in 29 games this season
An intriguing, nearly seven-foot-tall athletic big with a raw game, Chris Cenac Jr. shows flashes of floor-spacing ability, defensive playmaking and double-double rebounding potential. Over the past month, he has anchored the paint for Houston with four double-figure rebounding games, including a 14-rebound, 3-steal, and 2-block outing against TCU. Cenac Jr. shows touch around the basket (57.2 percent field goal percentage inside the arc) and should increase his shot volume at the rim.
One coach who spoke with HoopsHype told us Cenac Jr. should continue to attack the paint, where he is most successful offensively, rather than forcing his three-point shot.
Best rank: 10 / Worst rank: 25
6-3 | 175 lbs | 6-6 WS | Sophomore

Labaron Philon can play either guard spot and has flourished as the lead guard since Mark Sears went to the pros. Last season showed what he can do offensively off the ball, and this season, his slashing ability and three-point shooting mixed with his increased playmaking role bode well for him as a high-floor prospect. A team will take him hoping he can be a great bench guard from day one who will be groomed into becoming their eventual starter. He just needs to take care of the ball a bit better (1.87 assist-to-turnover ratio).
Best rank: 9 / Worst rank: 23
6-9 | 210 lbs | 6-11 WS | Junior

A fun, bouncy combo forward, Thomas Haugh projects as a plug-and-play player much like Cameron Johnson was viewed as a prospect. His ability to play off the ball is what allows him to draw fouls. His 27-point outing (9-of-19 from the field, 6-of-9 from the free throw line) against Auburn and 22-point performance (7-of-7 from the line) against Arkansas showed he has continued to score against NBA-level talent in conference play.
One scout told HoopsHype that Haugh fits the mold of the pass, dribble, and shoot energy wings and forwards that teams have been more frequently targeting, as they fit the positionless NBA we continue to see more and more of.
Best rank: 11 / Worst rank: 22
6-9 | 235 lbs | 7-4 WS | Senior
Statistics: 14.3 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 3.3 apg, 1.2 spg, 1.4 bpg, 49.8% FG, 31.0% 3P in 29 games this season
Yaxel Lendeborg’s biggest flaw is that he will be nearly 24 years old on draft night, but this season, playing the wing alongside a two-big lineup allowed him to shake off the tweener label he was given. We wouldn’t be surprised if a playoff team trades up to poach him. His one shaky skill is shooting and he profiles as a “jack of all trades, master of none” type of player.
Best rank: 9 / Worst rank: 24

German prospect Hannes Steinbach has a chance to go in the lottery as the most consistent rebounder and the most steady production out of all the bigs available in this draft. Just this past month, he had great games against Minnesota (26 points on 12-of-17 from the field) and grabbed 16 rebounds against Rutgers. He is a fluid athlete, although a below-the-rim finisher who will occasionally dunk within five feet. What’s impressive is that Steinbach is scoring with little shot creation from his guards, which shows his floor is a high-motor, rebounding switch big who can contribute as a complementary scorer without needing touches.
Best rank: 10 / Worst rank: 22
6-5 | 175 lbs | 7-2 WS | Sophomore

Cameron Carr is an NBA-level scorer. His 26-point outing against Arizona, where he scored at will, showed him not just knocking down jump shots but using his athleticism and ballhandling to create good looks for himself. He also flashed great defensive potential, including blocking shots at the rim. Carr is a confident shooter who hasn’t seen a shot he doesn’t like. His flamethrower style of offense, which reminds you of of Trey Murphy, paired with his 7-foot-2 wingspan and defensive activity, makes him a dark-horse lottery candidate.
Best rank: 13 / Worst rank: 28

A tall guard who can play either spot, Bennett Stirtz is an extension of Iowa coach Ben McCollum on the court, having followed him from Division II Northwest Missouri State to Drake to Iowa City. Despite the fact that Stirtz will be turning 23 during his rookie season, his ability to shake defenders off the dribble to create for himself, find a teammate, or penetrate the paint as a driver is impressive. He’ll have to be a good enough shooter, play both guard spots and hold his own defensively to become a starter in the NBA.
Best rank: 11 / Worst rank: 27
6-8 | 225 lbs | 6-11 WS | 2007

Karim Lopez has started climbing back up draft boards after sliding due to a rough start to his second NBL season. Over the past month, he’s shown his two-way potential, highlighted by a 32-point, 8-rebound game (11-of-13 from the field) against Melbourne United where his slashing and mid-range game were on full display. He’s only 18 with a 225-pound frame and a near seven-foot wingspan, so NBA teams may bet that his raw ability to pass (1.24 assist-to-turnover ratio), dribble and shoot is worth the gamble, especially since his defensive chops already give him a high floor (1.5 stocks per game). The foundation is there, and if he can finish his season strong, he’ll work his way back into the lottery conversation by the NBA Draft Combine.
One scout told HoopsHype that they wonder if the NCAA could lure Lopez with a lucrative NIL deal, since he’d technically be eligible and might have a better shot at being a lottery pick in 2027 than 2026.

Tounde Yessoufou has flashed his trademark physicality and two-way ability all year, highlighted by a 37-point eruption against BYU (5-of-8 from three)… though he’s shot just 25.9 percent from deep in the five games since. He uses his athleticism to grab offensive rebounds, guard one through four, and hustle all over the floor. His three-point shot will be his swing skill. Without it, he’s a non-playmaking (0.81 assist-to-turnover ratio), high-energy defensive swingman.

Brayden Burries has come in hot recently, and when you watch him, his shiftiness and shot-creation skill just jump off the screen. Though not an elite defender because of his size, he tries and can hold his own. And for a limited playmaker, he does a solid job of finding the open man when it’s there. His measurements do concern us, so that’ll be something to watch come May.

Patrick Ngongba II has finally shown what he can do when healthy, fitting the mold of the solid-screening, rim-running, shot-blocking bigs teams have been targeting lately. He has the physical tools, can guard multiple positions, and is an efficient rim finisher who flashes floor-spacing potential. Also, Ngongba is really good at passing out of the elbows to cutters; his assist rate is the highest among underclassmen listed at 6-11 or taller, per Bart Torvik (h/t Bryan Kalbrosky for that stat).

German prospect Christian Anderson Jr. currently leads the nation in points responsible for per game and is the motor that makes Texas Tech go. He’s shooting 43.9 percent from three on a gaudy 7.9 attempts per game, and his high IQ on offense has him thinking ahead of everyone else. Against Arizona, he scored or assisted on 26 of his team’s 32 first-half points. His size isn’t a concern offensively, but defensively it worries us. We just saw Trae Young, Darius Garland and almost Ja Morant get traded as NBA teams move away from smaller guards.

Isaiah Evans gives you a blend of volume shooting (7.0 three-point attempts per game) and size and he’s a willing defender. His shot does go streaky, but that’s partly because of the contested looks he takes that he wouldn’t in the NBA. He needs to create more for others and develop his ballhandling, as right now he’s a one-dimensional scorer who remains inconsistent when his shot isn’t falling.

Alijah Arenas has had a tumultuous year with a delayed start due to injury, which is why we wouldn’t be surprised if he returns to college and enters a weaker 2027 draft. It’s awesome to see him drop 29 against Indiana and follow it up with 24 points and a go-ahead layup against Penn State, but his bad shot selection is dragging down his numbers.

Meleek Thomas is a three-point volume bomber who loves corner threes and can function as a secondary playmaker. He’s shown he can dribble-penetrate to get to a nice floater or finish at the rim, where he’s shooting over 60 percent in conference play. He also rebounds well for a guard. He can score in transition, off the ball, or on it, though he hasn’t had much opportunity to initiate with Darius Acuff Jr. in front of him.

Henri Veesar introduced himself to the national audience during the second half of Duke-UNC after going scoreless in the first half – hitting a clutch three, then making a defensive stop on the very next play against Cam Boozer. His lack of physicality and indecisive play were issues early in the season, but lately he’s been scoring more efficiently and rebounding more dominantly.

A wing who could play the two through four, Dailyn Swain has solid ballhandling and creative shot creation for himself and teammates. His swing skill has been his three-point shot, and a 30-point outing (10-of-16, 4-of-7 from deep) this past month gave confidence he can space the floor. He already plays with a bully-ball mentality and will lock down the opposing team’s best offensive player.

Worth a late-first-round flier, Aday Mara has elite shot-blocking instincts and genuinely special passing vision for his size. A traditional back-to-basket center similar in size to Zach Edey, he projects as a massive passing big man in the Isaiah Hartenstein/Marc Gasol mold.
