Below is our top 60 prospect rankings of the 2026 NBA Draft.
Our rankings are determined by how great a prospect but also how they project to contribute toward winning.
We don’t get everything right but we attempt to look at things differently than the majority given our intel from scouts and evaluators around the league as well as our insights on winning and losing teams.
In the past, we’ve been different from consensus, producing some nice results. Some of our successes against consensus, including Stephon Castle ranked in the top 4 in 2024 where he ultimately went to the Spurs (compared to consensus having him in the lower end of the top 10).
In 2025, we successfully identified several players with regard to role. We had Ace Bailey way below consensus for example due to his lack of ability (to date) to play different roles on the team. He could shift his game now with the Jazz likely to be better. The risk of him not progressing enough to warrant as many scoring opportunities as to the style he’s played remains.
Last year, we also had Kon Knueppel as a potential win share leader and he ended up leading the 2025 class. We were high on Carter Bryant and Joan Beringer as guys who could play a definite role on a true contending team. Bryant is currently in the NBA Finals contributing to the Spurs run, while Beringer didn’t play that much this season, though there are reports that Minnesota is prioritizing him as part of their future amid an offseason that’s likely to see roster overhaul.
Stay tuned as we’ll be adding more notes leading up to the draft.
