Early 2027 NBA Draft Preview

The 2027 NBA Draft cycle is officially basically underway. We set the stage for a class that looks wide open at the top and potentially deeper than expected.

We break down the biggest questions facing top prospects Tyran Stokes, Jordan Smith and Caleb Holt, introduce international prospect Stefan Joksimovich, identify the players who already look like first-round locks and spotlight potential risers who could make major moves up draft boards.

Plus, we make our early bets on prospects including Billy Richmond, Alex Condon, Ivan Kharchenkov and David Mirkovic before wrapping things up with Fink’s Final Shot.
