Overview
- Indiana is slotted first in the simulation and is projected to take Duke freshman Cam Boozer as an immediate frontcourt hub next to Tyrese Haliburton.
- Charlotte at No. 2 is forecast to select Kansas guard Darryn Peterson, with Atlanta via New Orleans at No. 3 targeting BYU wing AJ Dybantsa.
- Oklahoma City draws multiple first-round picks in this scenario—Yaxel Lendeborg (7), Koa Peat (9), Keaton Wagler (17) and Dailyn Swain (25)—augmenting an already deep core.
- The mock spotlights a uniquely strong freshman group and pairs each placement with concise scouting reports and team-fit analysis.
- FanSided notes the outcomes are speculative and subject to change with college developments, potential returns to school and the actual NBA lottery.
