Jan 20, 2021 There’s still plenty we don’t know about the 2021 draft, but with the NBA and international leagues well underway and college basketball essentially at its midway point, it’s time for our first real mock draft of the season. Keep in mind, of course, that we’re in midst of a particularly unpredictable stretch of time due to the impact of COVID-19 and an unusually paced schedule. It’s still too early to write prospects off in any conclusive way. NBA teams are afforded the maximum amount of time to do their homework and dig into players. This season in particular, staying patient with struggling college freshmen adjusting to a new level and new circumstances feels prudent.
