Oklahoma State star Cade Cunningham is widely expected to be selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, but there’s plenty of talent available in what is projected to be a deep draft class.
To rank the top players available, we analyzed five 2021 NBA mock drafts from around the internet – the latest revisions from For The Win, NBC Sports, Yahoo Sports, Sports Illustrated and NBA Draft Room – and found each player’s average draft position.
A total of 47 different players appeared as first round selections across the mock drafts we reviewed. If a player was left out of one of the mock drafts, he was assigned a value of 31 for each absence to determine his draft average. To give an approximate draft range, we’re also listing each player’s best and worst draft position across the five mock drafts.
