Three ACC Players Picked in Top 10 of Latest NBA Mock Draft

With the NBA Draft lottery taking place on Monday night, we now know who will be picking in which position in the upcoming NBA Draft.

Since the order has been cemented, draft experts have released plenty of mock drafts.

Let’s take a look at the New York Times/The Athletic mock, which had several ACC players in the top-10 — all from Duke.

Duke’s Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel, and Khaman Maluach all went in the top ten of this mock draft. Flagg went No. 1 to the Dallas Mavericks, while Knueppel went No. 7 to the New Orleans Pelicans, and Maluach went No. 9 to the Toronto Raptors.

The mock also has North Carolina’s Drake Powell going No. 36 to the Brooklyn Nets, and Tyrese Proctor (Duke) going right after at No. 37 to the Detroit Pistons. Then, The Athletic has Stanford’s Maxime Raynaud going No. 42 to the Sacramento Kings. At No. 47, The Athletic has Duke’s Sion James going to the Milwaukee Bucks. At No. 56, the Grizzlies take Wake Forest’s Hunter Sallis.
