Draft Night Mode is where the Kingdom's 2027–28 draft will run on this page — the board, the clock and the picks, in this room. Two honest notes: the Kingdom's 2027 draft order is set by the 2026–27 finish and does not exist yet, so no order is shown; and the class board below is the Draft Desk's 2027 NBA big board (top 30 of 100), the same board behind the Drafts page.
| Board # | Player | Pos | School | Desk note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tyran Stokes | SF | Kansas | Consensus No. 1 recruit in the 2026 class (247Sports, Rivals, ESPN) who chose Kansas over Kentucky and Oregon; McDonald's All-American 2026, Jordan Brand Classic MVP, and Nike Hoop Summit selection (B/R). Gold medals with Team USA at the 2023 FIBA U16 Americas, 2024 U17 World Cup, and 2025 U19 World Cup; in EYBL play with the Oakland Soldiers he averaged 23.5 pts/11.1 reb/3.9 ast/1.9 stl on 50.7% FG and 42.4% 3PT over 9 games, with 22.2/10.4/3.2 at Peach Jam and a career-high 63 points (B/R). Prepped at Prolific Prep, Notre Dame HS, and Rainier Beach (Louisville native); signed a multi-year Nike NIL deal (base). His game is elite power athleticism, three-level scoring upside, and point-forward ball-handling; the swing skills are shooting consistency and decision-making, and scouts are still debating his ideal role — point-wing vs. forward — with maturity flagged as a watch item (B/R, SI). |
| 2 | Jordan Smith Jr. | PG/SG | Arkansas | Consensus National High School Player of the Year for 2026 (Gatorade, MaxPreps, Naismith, Sporting News, USA Today) and a top-3 recruit (247Sports No. 2, ESPN No. 2, On3 No. 2; 247Sports Composite No. 3 at 0.9991 — the second-highest-rated Arkansas commit of the modern era) (Wikipedia, On3). Fairfax, Virginia native out of Paul VI Catholic; elite downhill burst and rim pressure with pull-up shooting and two-way toughness, plus a reported 6'8.5" wingspan (SI, 247Sports/Yahoo). Team Takeover EYBL: 19.3 pts/7.8 reb/3.7 ast/2.4 stl; gold with Team USA at the 2024 U17 World Cup and Defensive MVP at the 2025 U19 World Cup (Wikipedia). He studies Anthony Edwards, Jrue Holiday, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander; NBA Draft Room's sourced comps are Eric Bledsoe+ and Donovan Mitchell. |
| 3 | Caleb Holt | SG | Arizona | Ranked No. 4 overall and the No. 1 SG by 247Sports; a McDonald's All-American co-MVP who picked Arizona over Houston, Alabama, and Kentucky (247Sports, SI). Prep: 21.0 pts/9.0 reb/4.0 ast; Adidas 3SSB: 19.0/7.0/3.0 on 51% shooting; 24 pts, 8 reb, and 7 steals at the 2026 Nike Hoop Summit (Fadeaway World, Yardbarker). A two-way wing with speed, slashing, defensive instincts, and rebounding; the swing skill is developing into a primary creator (SI, NBA Draft Junkies). |
| 4 | Stefan Joksimovic | SG/F | Baskonia (Slovenia) | Slovenian lefty jumbo playmaker and the top international prospect on the board; won Adidas Eurocamp MVP, then led Slovenia to gold at the FIBA U18 EuroBasket as tournament MVP (23.1 pts/6.7 reb/3.7 ast), and scored 22 for Slovenia's senior team in a World Cup qualifier (ESPN, SI, RealGM). His calling cards are positional size, pick-and-roll playmaking, and smooth shot-making; the development areas are shooting/finishing consistency, and his Baskonia role was limited early in the season (SI, NBAbigboard). A legitimate No. 1-pick contender if the jumper firms up. |
| 5 | Anthony Thompson | SF | Ohio State | Left-handed five-star wing ranked No. 7–8 in the 247Sports Composite (Rivals No. 5, ESPN No. 13 — rankings vary by service), the No. 2 SF, and the highest-rated Ohio State recruit since Jared Sullinger in 2010; chose OSU over Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, and others (247Sports, Eleven Warriors). Adidas 3SSB: 22.0 ppg on 53% FG, 39% 3PT, 88% FT with 1.9 blk and 1.6 stl; Western Reserve Academy senior year 24.9/7.9/2.3 on 47%/35%; coach Matt Garvey calls him "arguably the best shooter in the 2026 class" (247Sports/Adam Finkelstein via B/R, Eleven Warriors). McDonald's All-American and Naismith Third Team All-American; elite shot-making with defensive playmaking upside (SI, allsportsreports). |
| 6 | Braylon Mullins | SG | UConn | The headliner of the class's returnee group; as a UConn freshman averaged 12.0 pts/3.5 reb/1.4 ast, shooting 34% from three on huge volume, capped by a buzzer-beating 35-footer to beat Duke in the Elite Eight (Babcock Hoops, SI, Sporting News). Indiana Mr. Basketball; 32.9 ppg on 47% 3PT as a HS senior; rated No. 12 overall and the No. 2 SG in the 2025 class (Yardbarker, SI). Strengths are three-level shooting, off-ball scoring, and feel; Year 2 keys are added functional strength and more on-ball creation (SI, europesays). Sourced comps from NBA Draft Room: Buddy Hield+, Kevin Huerter, Klay Thompson. |
| 7 | Patrick Ngongba II | C | Duke | Returning junior who broke out as a sophomore: 10.1 pts/5.8 reb/2.0 ast/1.1 blk in 21.9 mpg on 60.6% shooting; an efficient play-finisher with rare passing feel for a big, plus solid rebounding and paint protection (SI, 247Sports, Babcock Hoops). The questions are perimeter mobility and floor-spacing; ranked No. 3 on Evan Miyakawa's preseason top-30 for 2026-27, and he returned to Duke after testing the 2026 draft process (SI). A safe-floor, scheme-specific anchor. |
| 8 | Bruce Branch III | SF | BYU | Reclassified from the 2027 class (where he began as the No. 1 recruit) to 2026, finishing No. 6–8 overall and the No. 2 SF; chose BYU over USC as the Cougars' next one-and-done wing after AJ Dybantsa (Wikipedia, B/R). Adidas 3SSB: 15.9 pts/5.2 reb/2.0 ast/1.3 blk; McDonald's All-American; Adidas Eurocamp Rising Star (B/R, Wikipedia). Fluid three-point shooter with a 7'2" wingspan, three-level scoring upside, and defensive potential; must fill out his frame and show more on-ball creation (SI, red94). |
| 9 | Motiejus Krivas | C | Arizona | Lithuanian senior who returned after testing the 2026 draft; First Team All-Big 12 and Big 12 All-Defensive, averaging 10.4 pts/8.2 reb (3.1 offensive)/1.9 blk as a junior, with opponents posting the country's lowest FG% with him on the floor (Babcock Hoops, SI, Heavy). Elite drop-coverage rim protector, rebounder, and screener with soft touch; not a spacer (13 three-point attempts all season) and scheme-dependent on the perimeter (The Ringer, SI). ESPN's Jeremy Woo: "on the short list of most impactful defenders in college basketball." Sourced comp from NBA Draft Room: Mason Plumlee+. |
| 10 | Baba Oladotun | SF | Maryland | Reclassified from 2027 (where he was the consensus No. 1 recruit) to 2026, finishing as a consensus five-star (No. 8–11) and Maryland's highest-rated commit since Diamond Stone in 2015; nicknamed "Baby KD" and mentored by Kevin Durant for his jumbo-wing shot-making and length (Wikipedia, 247Sports, SI). Fluid shooter who attacks closeouts with advanced counters; the swing skills are his upright frame, lateral defense, and strength through contact — a multi-year risk/reward play (SI, 247Sports). |
| 11 | Amari Allen | SG/SF | Alabama | Green Bay, Wisconsin native; returning sophomore who tested the 2026 draft and withdrew on May 27, 2026, saying he wanted a first-round promise (SI). SEC All-Freshman: 11.4 pts/6.9 reb/3.1 ast/1.0 stl on 44.6%/34.1% shooting (SI, 247Sports, BamaHammer). Wisconsin Gatorade POY: 34.1/11.5/8.5/2.6 at Ashwaubenon; elite positional rebounding, connective passing, and scoring versatility are the calling cards, and the combine measurements pushed him toward guard duties — Year 2 keys are playmaking and lateral defense (Yardbarker/SI, BamaHammer). |
| 12 | Colben Landrew | SF | UConn | McComb, Mississippi native out of Wheeler HS (Ga.); consensus five-star, top-25 (247Sports composite No. 21; service ranks vary — Wikipedia's 2027-class listing has Rivals 21/247Sports 26/ESPN 34) (UConn Athletics, Wikipedia). Georgia Gatorade POY and Mr. Georgia Basketball; led Wheeler to back-to-back Class 6A titles with 23.9 pts/6.5 reb/3.2 ast/1.8 stl as a senior (29/12 in the state final); Naismith HS All-America (UConn Athletics, Gatorade). Team USA U18 AmeriCup silver: 11.6 ppg on 52% FG and 43% 3PT, leading the team at 22.0 mpg; Adidas 3SSB first-team All-Circuit (15.4/5.8/2.6) with Game Elite's Palmetto Road title (The UConn Blog, Storrs Central). Former all-state football wide receiver; Pro Insight's Matt McKay calls him "a legitimately elite multilevel shotmaker," and Dan Hurley has cited "early entry NBA ability" (Gatorade, Norwich Bulletin). |
| 13 | JJ Andrews | SF | Arkansas | Full name JaShawn Andrews (mother Janetta + father Shawn); five-star freshman (No. 11–14 depending on service) and Arkansas legacy — his father Shawn Andrews was an NFL All-Pro lineman for the Razorbacks (arkansasrazorbacks.com). Arkansas Gatorade POY; dominated HS ball (31 pts/17 reb per game on 61% shooting) and won Peach Jam MVP with Brad Beal Elite (18.2 pts/5.9 reb/2.1 ast/2.1 stl; 20/6/2 in the title game), his second straight Peach Jam title; 2,201 career points at Little Rock Christian (On3, SI, razorbackers). Known for physicality, rim pressure, a projected 7-foot wingspan, and defensive versatility; the jumper's development is the swing skill (SI). Draft-year note: also appears in early 2028 mocks — actual draft year uncertain. |
| 14 | Dylan Mingo | PG/SG | Baylor | Five-star combo guard (No. 5–9 overall, No. 2 PG/CG) who committed to UNC, decommitted after Hubert Davis's firing, and landed at Baylor alongside his brother Kayden (Wikipedia, Baylor Lariat). MVP of the 2025 NBPA Top 100 Camp (23.8 pts/6.5 reb/6.8 ast); EYBL: 19.3/7.8/2.6/2.3 — but 23% from three, the big swing skill — and an ankle injury cost him most of his senior season (Yardbarker, 247Sports). Big guard with tight handles, feel, and disruptive defense (6'10"+ wingspan); turnover rate is the other concern (CBS/Matt Norlander via Baylor Lariat). Sourced comp from NBA Draft Room: Dejounte Murray. Draft-year note: also appears in early 2028 mocks — actual draft year uncertain. |
| 15 | Jason Crowe Jr. | PG/SG | Missouri | Inglewood native; California's all-time HS scoring leader with 3,682 points (breaking Tounde Yessoufou's record), averaging ~44 per game as a senior; ESPN No. 4, 247Sports No. 5; McDonald's All-American co-MVP (with Caleb Holt) (247Sports, Wikipedia, SI). Led EYBL at 23.6–23.8 ppg; elite, crafty three-level scorer and underrated playmaker; lefty; the questions are his slight frame and inconsistent on-ball defense (247Sports, SI, Yardbarker). Jonathan Givony has used a "Trae Young" comparison; Adam Finkelstein slotted him No. 30 in an early 2027 mock — his floor case if the defense doesn't come (247Sports, CBS). |
| 16 | Cameron Williams | C/PF | Duke | St. Mary's (Phoenix) product; No. 4 overall in the 247Sports 2026 class and the top PF for both ESPN and 247Sports; McDonald's All-American 2026; chose Duke over Texas and Arizona (247Sports, Wikipedia). HS senior: 24.6 pts/12.0 reb/2.9 ast/2.8 blk/1.7 stl; Compton Magic 3SSB: 14.2/8.5/3.3 blk, Defensive MVP (base). Elite length, vertical pop, and fluid mobility with soft interior touch and developing off-the-dribble shooting; very thin at 200 lbs — strength, rebounding consistency, and handling college/NBA physicality are the swing skills (SI, 247Sports). B/R flags a Duke frontcourt logjam with Ngongba and Boumtje Boumtje. |
| 17 | Quentin Coleman | PG/SG | Illinois | Principia (St. Louis) product; committed to Illinois on Apr 3, 2026 after decommitting from Wake Forest (base). Surged from No. 172 to No. 14 on 247Sports; Missouri Gatorade POY, Mr. Show-Me Basketball, MaxPreps first-team All-America, Naismith second-team All-America (base). HS senior: 23.1 pts/6.1 reb/3.9 ast/2.7 stl on 64.9%/50.6%/89.7%; 50 points in the state title game; Iverson Classic MVP (31/12); Peach Jam champion with Brad Beal Elite; Team USA U19 AmeriCup: 11.2 ppg and a tournament-high 11.4 rpg (base). Elite catch-and-shoot stroke with a developing driving game; needs to fill out his frame (HoopsHQ, SI, Fanrecap). |
| 18 | Luigi Suigo | C | Villanova (Italy) | Milan native; withdrew from the 2026 draft after one Adriatic League season with Mega Basket (8.1 pts/5.3 reb/1.1 blk in 18.6 mpg over 16 games) and committed to Villanova (base, Peachtree Hoops). Jonathan Givony: "physical outlier"; his stated goal is "the Italian Wemby," while Kevin O'Connor counters that "becoming the Italian Marc Gasol is a more realistic goal" (The Ringer). Elite rim protection, floor-spacing upside, passing feel, and a 15.0% offensive rebounding rate; lacks the lateral quickness and explosiveness to defend in space (Peachtree Hoops, Hoops Rumors). |
| 19 | Abdou Toure | SF | Arkansas (Guinea/USA) | West Haven, Connecticut native out of Notre Dame HS; consensus five-star, consensus top-15 in 2026 (No. 31 at commitment → top-15; Rivals Industry No. 31, ESPN SC Next 100 No. 31) (On3, ESPN). Represented Guinea at the 2024 U17 World Cup: tournament-leading 23.0 ppg, including a 50-point game tying the event's single-game record, plus 3.6 reb/2.0 ast; coached by his uncle Ibrahima Toure (Wikipedia). Allen Iverson National Player of the Year; Notre Dame's all-time leading scorer (1,981 points); two-time Connecticut Gatorade POY; HS junior: 25.2/6.5/3.3/2.3 on 61.3%/34.3%/74.2%; Adidas 3SSB second-team All-Circuit with BABC (15.7/6.6) (Wikipedia, Yardbarker). 247Sports' Adam Finkelstein: "a powerful athlete on the wing who is an absolute wrecking ball going to the rim.. a violent finisher who can immediately change the momentum of a game with a single dunk" (razorbackers.com). S-tier athlete and elite vertical wing; blocked Tyran Stokes three times at the Nike Hoop Summit (base); RotoWire projects a physical SF/PF role with the jumper as a work in progress. NoCeilings' sourced comp: Jaylen Brown. Committed to Arkansas over Providence and UConn on Oct 3, 2025 — Providence was perceived the favorite down the stretch (ESPN). Draft-year note: also appears in early 2028 mocks — actual draft year uncertain. |
| 20 | Caleb Gaskins | SF/PF | Miami | West Palm Beach native; McDonald's All-American; consensus top-20 in 2026 (Rivals No. 7, 247Sports Composite No. 16, ESPN No. 16, 247Sports No. 23–24 — rankings vary) (Wikipedia, B/R, 247Sports). Montverde sophomore alongside Cooper Flagg on the 35-0 national champions (4.1/2.4); transferred to Christopher Columbus (Miami) and won the Class 7A state title and a national title (13.6/6.3); Nike EYBL with Nightrydas Elite: 15.7 pts/7.3 reb; Peach Jam: 20.0/10.2 (Wikipedia, B/R). Committed to Miami over Florida and Texas A&M on Oct 30, 2025 — the second-highest-ranked Miami recruit of the 247Sports era; his former Columbus coach Andrew Moran joined Jai Lucas's staff (B/R, 247Sports, ZagsBlog). 247Sports' Adam Finkelstein: "a long, strong, and physical four-man who defends, rebounds, and is continuing to develop his offensive game"; a strong physical four with versatile defense, mid-range scoring, and connective feel — not a natural creator, and the three (23–28% in EYBL) is the swing skill; senior year 22.5/9.1/2.9 per MaxPreps (B/R, 247Sports, roundtable.io). Shelton Henderson says he can win ACC Freshman of the Year, though Malik Reneau's fifth-year return may push him to a bench role early (roundtable.io). Draft-year note: also appears in early 2028 mocks — actual draft year uncertain. |
| 21 | Thomas Haugh | SF/PF | Florida | Senior returnee off the 2025 title team; withdrew from the 2026 draft (announced to ESPN, Apr 21, 2026) after a second-team All-America junior year (Yardbarker; Policy Wire lists third-team — All-America team varies by source): 17.1 pts/6.1 reb/2.1 ast/1.1 stl/1.0 blk on 46% FG and 32.6% 3PT (SI, Gators Wire). Elite motor, high-IQ off-ball scorer (spot-ups, cuts, transition), and impact defender; three-point consistency and on-ball creation are the swing skills to firm up lottery status (SI, The Athletic, Evan Miyakawa). ESPN's 2026 big board had him No. 13; Jeremy Woo slots him No. 7 in the 2027 mock; Hoops HQ's preseason No. 1 Wooden Award candidate; 1,000 career points; reported $4M+ NIL (base). Sourced comp from NBA Draft Room: Keegan Murray. |
| 22 | Alijah Arenas | SG | USC | Son of Gilbert Arenas; No. 10 in the 2025 class whose freshman year was derailed by an April 2025 Cybertruck crash (induced coma, smoke inhalation) and July 2025 torn-meniscus surgery — he missed the first 18 games, debuted Jan 21, and played 14 games: 14.1 pts/2.9 reb/2.1 ast in 27.8 mpg on 34.1% FG and 21.3% 3PT (NBC Sports, 247Sports, RealGM). The flash: a three-game February stretch of 29/24/25, with a career-high 29 vs. Illinois (On3/USC). CIF LA City Section all-time scoring leader (3,002 points); McDonald's All-American 2025; a smooth 6'6" scorer with a 7'0" wingspan and elite secondary moves per base — but needs efficiency and lateral quickness after the lost development year (NBC Sports, RealGM, 247Sports). Withdrew from the 2026 draft to return to USC. |
| 23 | Hugo Yimga-Moukouri | SF/PF | Nanterre 92 (France) | Burly, athletic wing with an NBA-ready frame whose shooting transformed from non-shooter to ~40% from three in Pro A; 2026 French LNB Rising Star and U18 Euro Championship All-Tournament (NBA Big Board, SI, RealGM). The next likely first Frenchman off the board; handle, creation, and defensive consistency against pros need continued growth (SI, RealGM). |
| 24 | Davis Fogle | SF/SG | Gonzaga | Kodiak, Alaska native via Anacortes, Washington and AZ Compass Prep; moved to Anacortes in fourth grade (Wikipedia). ESPN 100 final No. 32 — the sixth-highest-rated recruit in Gonzaga history (behind Holmgren and Suggs); 31.4 ppg as a HS junior at Anacortes (Yardbarker, Wikipedia). Freshman 2025-26: all 30 games (1 start), 8.6 pts/3.1 reb/1.3 ast in 16.8 mpg on 51.8% FG and 35% 3PT, surging to 10.9/4.6/2.1 over his final 16 games; 19 vs. Southern Utah (Nov 17, 2025), 13/8/6/2 in the WCC final vs. Santa Clara, and 17 vs. Kennesaw State in the NCAA first round (SI, SWX, Slipper Still Fits). Long, wiry shot-maker with a strong mid-range game; must become a consistent, higher-volume three-point shooter (29% over his final 20 games) (SI, CBS). Draft-year note: also appears in early 2028 mocks — actual draft year uncertain. |
| 25 | Ivan Kharchenkov | SF | Arizona (Germany/Russia) | Born in Moscow, raised in Germany; debuted for Bayern Munich in Nov 2022 at 16 — the youngest Bundesliga scorer since 1998 — then ~5.0 ppg in 18 games (12.4 mpg) in 2024-25 (Wikipedia, SI). Gold with Germany at the 2024 FIBA U18 EuroBasket: 17.5 pts/5.3 reb/3.8 ast (SI). Arizona freshman: started all 39 games, 10.4 pts/4.3 reb/2.3 ast/1.5 stl in 28.4 mpg on 49.2% FG (31.7% 3PT); a double-double in his debut vs. Florida (12/10); Final Four 2026; Arizona's best perimeter defender and a big-game riser — 12.4 ppg over 5 NCAA Tournament games, 12 second-half points in the Elite 8 win over Purdue (Arizona Sports, The Athletic, AZ Desert Swarm, ESPN). The jumper (32% on 3s) is the swing skill. |
| 26 | Tyler Tanner | PG | Vanderbilt | Withdrew from the 2026 draft after an All-SEC sophomore season: 19.5 pts/5.1 ast/3.6 reb/2.4 stl on 49% FG (SI, Sporting News, ESPN). Hyper-athletic (16 dunks — most among players 6'0" and under), great feel, 40.4% on catch-and-shoot 3s, and defensive playmaking; the sub-6-foot frame caps his ceiling, and scouts want better floater range and strength (SI, Sporting News, ESPN). Draft-year note: also appears in early 2028 mocks — actual draft year uncertain. |
| 27 | Tounde Yessoufou | SF | St. John's (Benin/USA) | Transferred from Baylor to St. John's after setting the Bears' freshman scoring record: 17.8 pts/5.9 reb/2.0 stl, honorable mention All-Big 12 (SI, Babcock Hoops). Physically imposing slasher who shot 64% at the rim with elite defensive playmaking; must fix 29.3% three-point shooting and limited playmaking to lock in as a first-rounder (SI, Babcock Hoops, B/R via Rumble in the Garden). Sourced comp from NBA Draft Room: "Jaylen Brown lite." Draft-year note: also appears in early 2028 mocks — actual draft year uncertain. |
| 28 | Malachi Moreno | C | Kentucky (So.) | McDonald's All-American; returning sophomore who tested the 2026 draft waters: 7.8 pts/6.3 reb/1.5 blk in 22.6 mpg (SI, The Athletic via UK Wildcats Wire). Elite rim protector with real passing feel for his size (1.8 ast) and above-the-rim finishing; needs added strength and physicality to play through contact (SI, Roundtable). Draft-year note: also appears in early 2028 mocks — actual draft year uncertain. |
| 29 | Billy Richmond III | SF | Arkansas | Memphis native; withdrew from the 2026 draft and returned for his junior year after a late surge — 20+ in five straight games, SEC All-Defensive 2026 (SI, Yardbarker, Wikipedia). 2025-26: 11.2 pts/4.3 reb/2.0 ast/1.1 stl in 37 games (19 starts) on 56.3% FG, 25.9% 3PT, 78.4% FT (SI, 247Sports). Elite athlete (41" max vert) who finished 73.4% at the rim (127/173), with a 6'8" wingspan, a 5.2% stock rate, and 40% from mid-range (B/R); tied for first in the 3/4-court sprint (3.06s) and went 17/25 in the 3PT star drill at the combine (247Sports, SI). The swing skill: push 25.9% three-point shooting past 33% on volume while the playmaking keeps developing (SI, B/R). |
| 30 | Juke Harris | SF/SG | Tennessee (transfer from Wake Forest) | The No. 1 player in the Rivals transfer portal after winning ACC Most Improved Player: 21.4 pts/6.5 reb/1.9 ast/1.3 stl, 14th nationally in scoring (SI, 247Sports/On3, Floor and Ceiling). Elite three-level driver with a great second-step gather and 8 free-throw attempts per game; mostly a spot-up/off-handoff player — on-ball creation and 33% three-point shooting are the questions entering his Tennessee junior season (SI, 247Sports/On3, Floor and Ceiling). Draft-year note: also appears in early 2028 mocks — actual draft year uncertain. |
