Join Coach Spins for Mock Draft 4.1, the latest version coming after the NBA Draft early entrant withdrawal deadline that took place on May 31st. Now, the field of domestic players is fully set, and teams are starting to get a clearer view of who is going to be in their draft range.
Based on intel I’m hearing, some of my own preferences, and fits from other mainstream mocks, Mock Draft 4.1 fuses together fit with best player available in a way that could foreshadow what’s to come on draft night.

Really think Detroit should look at Ausar, but I do love Cam to Orlando.
Usually a huge fan of the mocks, but Clowney at 16 over GG makes no sense for the Jazz IMO. GG Jackson has the youth, upside and self creation ability that the Jazz would need for the future. Clowney is a strech big that cant strech the floor. Other than that great mock as usual, just didn't like GG Jackson sliding since self creating, atheltic wings are probably the most valuable players in the league
Great video!
The Walker to the Pistons pick is a bit of a head scratcher (given that they are loaded with 4 young talented bigs) but the Lively to Mavs was awsome. Havnt seen him in the top 10 up till now, and I can 100% see Dallas looking his way if Walker and Hendricks are off the board
No keyonte and Nick Smith in the lottery for you? You smoking.
Lively at #10 is way to high
WHY IS JETT SO LOW
1. San Antonio – Victor Wembanyama
2. Charlotte- Scoot Henderson
3. Portland- Brandon Miller
4. Houston- Amen Thompson
5. Detroit- Asuar Thompson
6.Orlando- Gradey Dick
7. Indiana- Jarace Walker
8. Washington- Anthony Black
9. Utah- Cam Whitmore
10. Dallas- Taylor Hendrix
11. Orlando- Jordan Hawkins
12. Oklahoma City- Keyonte George
13. Toronto- Jalen Hood-Schifino
14. New Orleans- Brice Sensabaugh
15. Atlanta- Cason Wallace
16. Utah- Nick Smith Jr
17. LA Lakers- Kobe Bufkin
18. Miami- Kris Murray
19. Golden State- Leonard Miller
20. Houston- Dereck Lively III
21. Brooklyn- Jett Howard
22. Brooklyn- Rayan Rupert
23. Portland- Trayce Jackson-Davis
24. Sacramento- Bilal Coulibaly
25. Memphis- Dariq Whitehead
26. Indiana – Jalen Wilson
27. Charlotte- Noah Clowney
28. Utah- Gregory Jackson
29. Indiana- Julian Strawther
30. LA Clippers- James Nnaji
Bilal Moulibaly is GUNNA be the sleeper rookie of the year. He's a baller. It all depends on the team he goes to and the minutes he's gunna get. Remember that name.
Would much prefer Coulialaby, Wallace, or GG for the Thunder. I do not see it with Miller, he moves very awkwardly and gives me very mid vibes. If I’m taking “upside” Couilalaby is just better imo.
“Scoot is great in the midrange” huh?, 34% in midrange is awful
Whitmore or Hendricks will be a Piston if they don’t trade the pick for a proven player.
Detroit needs to take Hendricks or Whitmore. DO IT!
Well done mock draft. I used these to get ready for the draft.
Who says no
Magic get: 4th pick & select Amen Thompson & 6th pick Ausar Thompson 2 Florida boys who with Paolo & Wagner would be title contenders by decades end
Rockets get: Jalen Suggs & 10th pick (Cason Wallace or Keyotae George 2 guards from Texas and can work with Jalen Green, KPJ & James if he come
Just a note here: you mentioned Jarace is 6'8", and Whitmore is 6'6"-6'7". Whitmore actually measured slightly taller than Walker, but they're both 6'6" and change w/o shoes.
Think we have enough Africans? How about diversity, equity and inclusion… Bring us the white boys.
Warriors fan here, don’t be surprised if they draft Trisian Vukcevic, a 7 footer with 7’2” wingspan who can shoot lights out from 3. He’s expected to go in the second round, but so was Poole when they drafted him, and that pick worked out. They don’t win last year without him.
Of course I'd love Derek Lively, but I don't think he'll be available. If the Warriors go big wing, I like Kobe Brown at 6'8" with 7ft wingspan and shot over 45% from 3.
Pacers have the 32 and 55 now in the second round…This changed with the draft with the Spurs getting the higher pick in the first round.
You nailed my ideal draft…assuming no Wemby or Scoot…with Whitmore and Dick. I wouldnt be as happy as i was when we took Paolo last year, but it would be close.
J. Walker is the 3 best prospect in this draft
If im the Jazz, id take JHS at 16 since he fits immediate need instead of Clowney as a backup
damn. no markquis nowell ANYWHERE in the 1st rd?
we got dudes from new zealand ahead of the best pick and roll player in the draft?
i guess its because hes too tall.
@ 3:18 👇🏾The Comment..
Great Fit for Dick 🙄😂🤣
Took me TF out!💀🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Fans are going crazy saying the Hornets can't draft a Point Guard they already have LaMelo well I feel they can pick Scoot Henderson and still have LaMelo playing in the back court with him that would be so awesome also if Portland doesn't trade their pick Brandon Miller would be a great fit with the Trailblazers Miller is my favorite player in this draft I think he can play either 3 or 4 and Dame Lillard can hype the young guys up to play and make the playoffs
That is pretty much the best case scenario for the hawks. Cason with Dejounte on the court screams length and chaos. For now Capela is on the team and they have a bunch of young forwards. Cason can run the second unit and assuming he is a solid shooter, will have that variance the hawks desperately need next to Trae.
I can sense a Zion & Ja #1 & #2, Hyped but very talented #1 (Victor) like Zion unique body prototype but can cause health issues (hope it can withstand the gruesome nba season , #2 (Scoot) crafty explosive 🧨 guard that could’ve went #1 if redrafted imo hopefully victor is everything advertised just comparing the draft narrative similarities.
