Now that the 2026 NFL Draft is over, we can shift our focus to the 2026 NBA Draft, which is set to take place June 23 and 24 in Brooklyn.
The SEC may not have put a team in the Final Four this past season, but there was still plenty of talent in the conference. Now we’ll see where those guys end up starting their pro careers.
On Tuesday, ESPN’s Jeremy Woo put together his latest first-round mock draft, and he has 7 SEC stars going in the first 30 picks. Check out where each guy is projected to end up below:
No. 5 — Darius Acuff Jr., G, Arkansas — Sacramento Kings No. 10 — Nate Ament, F, Tennessee — Milwaukee Bucks No. 13 — Labaron Philon Jr., G, Alabama — Miami Heat No. 15 — Jayden Quaintance, C, Kentucky — Chicago Bulls No. 26 — Dailyn Swain, G/F, Texas — Denver Nuggets No. 27 — Amari Allen, F, Alabama — Boston Celtics No. 29 — Meleek Thomas, G, Arkansas — Cleveland CavaliersThe NBA Draft lottery will be held on May 10, so we’ll have more clarity on the draft order then. For now, though, this is a good look at where things stand.
