With the Finals recently ending, it is time to move onto the next big event: the NBA Draft. With that said, here is our final NBA mock draft.

While many can guess the first two picks, it is really the entire first round that should allure NBA fans. This draft could be one of the deepest talent-wise. With several potentially franchise-changing players, this NBA mock draft will attempt to correctly place all 30 first round draftees.

As far as the Cavaliers go, I fully expect them to trade for at least one pick somewhere in this draft. Whether it be late in the first round or a second-round pick, they need to think future soon, so expect some movement.

Teams like Portland, that has three first-round picks, will be on the phones all night. The Lakers, Jazz, and Kings are the other three teams with multiple first-round picks. The Jazz might be the most willing to sell one of their picks, so they could see how free agency plays out, especially with Gordon Hayward potentially leaving.

With that said, expect multiple draft nights trades even after this Boston-Philly one.

Let’s dive into how this first round might play out.
