The 2026 NBA draft 1st round is tonight, Tuesday, June 23.
The first 8 picks went the way ESPN's and many other predictions forecast. Here is ESPN's mock draft--> LINK
BYU forward AJ Dybansa went #1 to the Washington Wizards, Kansas guard Darryn Peterson went #2 to the Utah Jazz, and Duke forward Cameron Boozer went #3 to the Memphis Grizzlies. The Chicago Bulls picked North Carolina's 6'9" forward Caleb Wilson with the #4 pick, as was expected.
And Illinois freshman guard Keaton Wagler was picked #5 by the LA Clippers.
Here are the 1st round picks, so far- https://www.nba.com/draft/2026/draft-board
The Chicago Bulls also had the #15 pick, and selected Dailyn Swain, a 6'8" wing from Texas.
With the #16 pick, the Memphis Grizzlies picked former Drake star and 2025 MVC POY Bennett Stirtz of Iowa. Then Memphis reportedly traded him to the Oklahoma City Thunder for two 2nd round picks.
