2026 NBA Mock Draft
July 3, 2026 - Top 10

1. (2) Koa Peat - SF - 18 - 6'9" - 221 lbs - 7'3"
   
   
   
   Comparsion - Metta World Peace / Starter
   Koa is not really known for his man defense but gets the job done. He also plays above the rim and able to finish with authority. Koa Peat has shown some ability to steal. he can play in any position from point guard to center. Shows no major weaknesses.
   
   
2. (1) Bryce James - SF - 18 - 6'9" - 221 lbs - 7'3"
   
   
   
   Comparsion - Adrian Dantley / All-NBA
   Bryce is the 2nd son of Lebron James, older one, Bronny was selected by Sacramento Kings in the 2024 NBA Draft with No. 3. Bryce adept at disrupting the offense with his quick hands also he is aggressive around the rim; he goes up strong. He has below averange court vision (really?) hurts his otherwise fair repertoire.
   
   
3. (-) Jerry Easter - PG - 18 - 6'5" - 185 lbs - 6'8"
   
   
   
   Comparsion - Doc Rivers / Starter
   Jerry is one of best one-on-one defender, able to check shifty ball handler. He has extremely good vision also is a elite finisher in this class. No significant weakness.
   
   
4. (5) Jahseem Felton - SG - 19 - 6'7" - 189 lbs - 7'2" - 75 OVR
   
   
   
   Comparsion - Jimmy Butler / All-NBA
   Jahseem has the potential to develop into something special in the NBA. He can block shots with the best of them also has skills to pull down difficult rebounds and cutting off passing lanes. Shows no apparent weakness.
   
   
5. (4) Mikkel Tyne - PG - 19 - 6'3" - 199 lbs - 6'7"
   
   
   
   Comparsion - Steve Nash / Hall Of Fame
   When you looking of him you know that Mikkel Tyne will be a very good one-on-one defender and excellent at getting on-ball steals and. Mikkel is crafty, when it comes to passing the ball to clean positions for teammates. Probably He will be the next Star on position Point Guard.
   
   
6. (-) Kiyan Anthony - SF - 18 - 6'9" - 194 lbs - 7'3"
   
   
   
   Comparsion - Xavier McDaniels / All-Star
   Kiyan Anthony is a great dunker but he will be much better than his father was a dunker. which is The legendary Carmelo Anthony who is currently the Knicks Assistant Coach. Kiyan Carmelo Anthony looks like who has the potential to be something in this league like his father. He is good at holding his spots and very few guys cam move him once he's established himself. No major weakness.
   
   
7. (8) Xavier Bowman - SF - 19 - 6'10" - 190 lbs - 6'11" - 74 OVR
   
   
   
   Comparsion - Latrell Sprewell / All-Star
   Xavier is a great on-ball defender taht puts fear in the hearts of ball-handlers because of his ability to steal. He doesn't have much 3-point shooting ability and doesn't seem to be a good of a rebounder as he probably should be
   
   
8. (9) Francis Chukwudebelu - C - 18 - 7'0" - 205 lbs - 7'6" - 75 OVR
   
   
   
   Comparsion - DeMarcus Cousins / Hall Of Fame
   Francis showing a lot of heart when rebounding, finds a way to get the ball. He can really throw it down sometimes, highlight dunks pump up team but he has tendency of missing the wide open man, a little too often.
   
   
9. (10) Bam McGrady - SG - 20 - 6'6" - 187 lbs - 6'11"
   
   
   
   Comparsion - Vinnie Johnson / All-Star
   Bam McGrady is outstanding vertical and should be able to provide rim protection. He gets to the rim with ease and tremendous finisher one of the best in this class. He has one weakness, lacks consistency with his floor awerness in passing situation.
   
   
10. (7) Jaxson Ford - PF - 6'9" - 18 - 207 lbs - 7'4"
    
    
    
    Comparsion - Kristaps Porzingis / All-Star
    Controls the defensive low post well with his aggressive play. Outstanding finisher and in-game dunks are better than most guy's practice dunks. his upper body steangth is a decent at taking contact on drives. he has only one weakness and it has a tendency of missing the wide open man, a little too often.

Re: The Orlando Magic Dynasty

The San Antonio Spurs Have Picks No. 1 and No. 9
2026 NBA Draft Lottery
The Sacramento Kings have four picks in a lottery selection (#8, #11, #13, #14)

1. Spurs (via ATL);
   This will be their 4th time the Spurs have had the #1 pick
2. 76ers;
   this pick leap-frogged from #6 pick to #2 pick
3. Trail Blazers;
   The Blazers selected R.J. Jones with the 7th pick last year
4. Nets;
   This will be their 3rd consecutive year with a lottery selection
5. Jazz (via DAL);
   With both the 5th and 17th picks this year, will the Jazz stand pat or will they try and move up in the draft?
6. Thunder (via LAC);
   This means the 76ers have moved into the top 4
7. Pelicans (via MIL);
   The Pelicans had the rights to swap picks with the Bucks, they have the higher pick here so they'll keep it instead. The big question for the Pelicans is the impending free agency of Zion Williamson (PF, 94)

   This will be their 36th lottery selection all-time (most in NBA history)
9. Spurs;
   2nd consecutve year with a lottery selection
10. Nuggets;

12. Timberwolves;
    25th lottery selection all-time
13. Kings (via WAS);

Magic Starts The Way For Three-Peat
Current Record 6-1

Coming off back-to-back NBA championships, the Orlando Magic kicked off their campaign at home with a win over the Chicago Bulls, 94-88. The next two game also the Magic won. The first one with Cavaliers, 110-103 and the second one with the Hornets, 130-119. In both games Emoni Bates was a leader in points with 27. Ausar Thompson was injured in a game versus the Hornets, and he will be out 1-2 weeks following a twisted right knee.

First game lost in a season was with the New York Knicks (1st in Power Ranking at start of season), 117-98. Jonathan Kuminga (26pts, 10 reb) and TyTy Washington (17pts, 15ast) taked control over game. On Ocotber 30th, 2026 the Magic played with a neighbor, the Miami Heat and won 113-88. Jalen Suggs ended with a double-double (19pts, 10ast). In a 36-point win game against the Pelicans, Killian Malwaya was a offensive beast, who posted a career high 26 points and perfect 9-9 from floor included three threes. Meanwhile Suggs and Chandler with a double-double. Another game with another win over contender for title, Houston Rockets, 116-101. Again, Emoni Bates as leader in points, 37 (a season high).

Re: The Orlando Magic Dynasty

The Winning Streak Ended After 9 Games
Current Record 12-2

Injury Report: Eli Ndiaye (Leg, 4-6 months)

After fourteen games the Magic have a better record than last season (10-4). The Magic recorded nine consecutive wins but in the 7th game (vs. PHX), Eli Ndiaye (PF/C, 75) suffered an injury, Fractured Right Leg (4-6 months). He played 11 games (three as starter) and scored 9.3 PPG, 5.4 RPG, 1.7 APG. Emoni Bates was leader in points in 6 of 14 games and he has 20.6 points per game. Meanwhile, the 6th Man, Ausar Thompson scores a 16.7 points per night (career high). Jalen Suggs and Kennedy Chandler have 16+ points and 8+ assists per game.

In the meantime, the Atlanta Hawks have the worst season start in the whole league, 0-15. The last bad or even worst team was the 2015-2026 season when the Philadelphia 76ers had 19 games without win in a row at the start. After two The Coach Of The Year Award in 2022 and 2023, Nate McMillan was fired. The Hawks organisation decided to stay within the family to fill the head coach vacancy. The team's former assistant, Larry Drew is now the interim Head Coach. Jamahl Mosley will be a new assistant coach. Probably caused by an injuries of Trae Young and Chet Holmgren. Young suffered at the beginning of the start of current season (sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee, about 2 to 4 weeks to heal). The second one, Holmgren has torn right ACL which him happened last season (4-6 months left to heal).

Re: The Orlando Magic Dynasty

Williams Joined To Magic Once Again
Current Record 13-8

Injury Report: Eli Ndiaye (Leg, 4-6 months)

The Orlando Magic only have one active player in a rotation on center position (Okongwu). They found an old friend Rob Williams at a free agency. Robert Williams (C, 73ovr, 29yo) accepted offer and signed contract with the Orlando Magic worth a $1.91M to the end season. He knows ours playbook and so they activated him immediately in a rotation.

Unexpected change after Ndiaye' injury - only 3 win in 10 games
Orlando started the season with a winning streak (9 won) and now is all that upside down (7 lost). Right now, they are having a worse time in the season with a seven consecutive losses. Included, the two lost games against the Wizards, in which Victor Wambanyama shone. He had a double-double in both games, average 25 points and 14 rebounds. Veteran Zach LaVine as Victor's sidekick played from bench and scored a total of 35 points. In a loss game against Pacers, 112-96 only one player shone. Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton put on a shooting clinic and a career best 39 points included eight threes and 11 free throw.
Only the match against Thunder brought the long-awaited victory (after eight games). The father of victory was Jalen Suggs with 26 points and 10 assists. Meanwhile Jarace Walker scored 20 points (a season high in points) contributed significantly to the victory.
