The 2026 NBA Draft is rapidly approaching, but plenty of uncertainty still surrounds the top of the board. With that in mind, CBS Sports NBA analyst Adam Finkelstein released his first full two-round mock draft with just two weeks remaining before draft night. 

According to Finkelstein, teams are still gathering information and keeping their intentions close to the vest. Trade possibilities only add another layer of unpredictability to the process. 

While some organizations have revealed their plans early in recent years, this draft appears far less settled. Check out Finkelstein’s projections, all 60, highlighted with the players he believes are best positioned to hear their names called early, below.

1. Washington Wizards: AJ Dybantsa, F – BYU

Finkelstein believes AJ Dybantsa remains the favorite to go first overall, even though Washington has not tipped its hand. The BYU star possesses elite size, athleticism and three-level scoring ability. 

His offensive upside could eventually make him one of the league’s premier scorers. The next step will be proving he can consistently translate those gifts into winning basketball.

Finkelstein continues to view Peterson as Utah’s likely selection if he remains available. He believes Peterson’s fit alongside Keyonte George makes more sense than adding another frontcourt player. 

The Kansas standout showed impressive shot-making ability despite dealing with injuries last season. Utah hopes he can rediscover the all-around creation skills he displayed before college.

3. Memphis Grizzlies: Cameron Boozer, F – Duke

According to Finkelstein, Cameron Boozer possesses the highest floor in the draft. The Duke star brings a rare blend of size, physicality, feel and production. 

Memphis could immediately solidify its frontcourt by pairing him with Zach Edey and Cedric Coward. His winning pedigree only strengthens his appeal.

4. Chicago Bulls: Caleb Wilson, F – North Carolina

Wilson’s long-term upside makes him one of the most intriguing prospects in the class. Finkelstein praised his athleticism, motor and overall flexibility for a player his size. 

While his offensive game took major strides last season, there is still room for growth. Chicago could view him as a future franchise cornerstone.

5. Los Angeles Clippers (via IND): Keaton Wagler, G – Illinois

The Clippers have reportedly evaluated several guards, but Finkelstein believes Wagler fits best. His size and shooting provide valuable versatility both on and off the ball. 

Beyond his physical tools, his basketball IQ stands out. Those instincts could make him an ideal complement to Darius Garland.

6. Brooklyn Nets: Darius Acuff Jr., G – Arkansas

Brooklyn has multiple directions it could pursue, but Finkelstein projects Acuff here. The Arkansas guard would give the Nets another offensive creator with star potential. 

While some positional overlap exists, his scoring ability is difficult to ignore. He could make an immediate impact.

7. Sacramento Kings: Mikel Brown Jr., G – Louisville

Brown has gained momentum during the pre-draft process. Finkelstein highlighted his passing ability, shooting touch and overall skill level. 

He believes Brown is a better shooter than his Louisville numbers indicated. Sacramento could view him as its point guard of the future.

8. Atlanta Hawks (via NO): Kingston Flemings, G – Houston

Flemings brings elite athleticism and defensive intensity to the table. Finkelstein noted his ability to attack the rim and create shots off the dribble. 

His perimeter shooting remains under scrutiny, but the upside is evident. Atlanta could pair him with its young defensive core.

9. Dallas Mavericks: Brayden Burries, G – Arizona

There is growing belief that Burries and Dallas would welcome a partnership. The Arizona guard offers toughness, shooting and defensive versatility. 

His NBA-ready frame should allow him to contribute immediately. Finkelstein sees him as an excellent fit alongside Cooper Flagg.

10. Milwaukee Bucks: Nate Ament, F – Tennessee

Ament remains one of the most polarizing players in the draft. The 6-foot-10 forward possesses intriguing skill and fluidity but still needs to add strength. 

Despite some inconsistency, his long-term upside remains enormous. For a Bucks franchise facing uncertainty, that potential could be worth the gamble.
