Overview
- FanSided's June 6 mock unusually projects Duke forward Cameron Boozer to go No. 1 to the Washington Wizards, a departure from broader consensus that favors AJ Dybantsa.
- Market and media views still generally list AJ Dybantsa as the likely top pick, but competing evaluations have produced no firm consensus on the order of the top three prospects.
- Darryn Peterson is a medical-driven wildcard because of recurring cyclical cramping in college that he has attributed to excess creatine, and league or team medical clearances could reshuffle the top selections.
- Washington currently holds the No. 1 pick and can keep or trade it, and teams have a compressed window of workouts, medical checks and trade talks to finalize decisions ahead of the June 23 draft.
- Late-May and early-June combine testing, interviews and fit analyses — including Bleacher Report’s review of best and worst landing spots — are being treated as inputs rather than determinative factors, so workouts and medicals in the next two weeks will be decisive.
