The NBA season is still going on, but teams are looking forward to the NBA Draft. Here is the 2026 NBA Mock Draft February 17.
Note: Order is from tankathon.com.
1. Sacramento Kings-Darryn Peterson, G, Kansas
Peterson has shown the ability to heat up really quickly as a three-level scorer. His availability hasn’t been the greatest for Kansas, but when he does play, he has really elevated his team.
2. Washington Wizards- A.J. Dybantsa, F, BYU
The Wizards have Trae Young and Anthony Davis now. They can pair them with Dybantsa who has shown off his athleticism and shot-making ability this season, especially inside the arc, although he is solid behind the arc as well.
3. Atlanta Hawks (via NO)- Cameron Boozer, F, Duke
Atlanta is looking for a new face of the franchise and Boozer can be that for them. He is a big, but has the skills of a guard, as he can set up his teammates really well. When he focuses on getting into the paint, he is a very effective player.
4. Indiana Pacers- Caleb Wilson, F, UNC
The Pacers will want to rebound next season with Tyrese Haliburton back and Wilson can help. He has a great motor on both ends of the court making him a potential great two-way player.
5. Brooklyn Nets- Darius Acuff, G, Arkansas
Acuff can get to the basket, but can also shoot it from deep. The point guard could impact winning at the next level early in his career.
6. Utah Jazz- Kingston Flemings, G, Houston
Flemings has been a great point guard for Houston, showcasing the ability to play at his own speed and set up his teammates.
7. Dallas Mavericks- Nate Ament, F, Tennessee
Ament started off the season slowly, but has turned it on in the last month or so. He will need to improve his three-point shooting, but that could come in time.
8. Memphis Grizzlies- Keaton Wagler, G, Illinois
Wagler was underrecruited, but has played extremely well for Illinois. With some injuries to Illinois, Wagler has shown off his ability to create his own shot and score in multiple ways.
9. Milwaukee Bucks- Jayden Quaintance, F, Kentucky
Quaintance hasn’t played a lot for Kentucky this season, but his potential is still there. He can protect the rim and rebound very well, but teams will wonder about his health if he doesn’t get back on the court this season.
10. Chicago Bulls- Mikel Brown, G, Louisville
Brown is a streaky shooter and needs to work on his shot selection, but his athletic ability and quickness jump out.
11. San Antonio Spurs (via ATL)- Brayden Burries, G, Arizona
Burries leads Arizona in scoring and can shoot the ball from deep. He can help space the floor for Wemby.
12. Charlotte Hornets- Thomas Haugh, F, Florida
Haugh has shown the ability to play either forward spot, providing an athletic mismatch and versatility to have a role at the next level early.
13. Oklahoma City Thunder (via LAC)- Karim Lopez, F, New Zealand
Oklahoma City won’t have too many needs this offseason and can afford to take Lopez, who is a skillful player on the wing for his size.
14. Portland Trail Blazers- Koa Peat, F, Arizona
Peat has struggled as of late and is now injured, but he has had an impressive freshman season at Arizona. His athleticism and toughness for the position will stand out, but stretching the floor will be something to work on.
15. Miami Heat- Christian Anderson, G, Texas Tech
Anderson has had a great sophomore year at Texas Tech. He can play on or off the ball, can create his own shot and shots for teammates and could be a steal in the middle of the first round.
16. Golden State Warriors- Braylon Mullins, G, UConn
His 3-point percentage is 37.1 percent, but Mullins has the makings of a knock-down shooter at the next level.
17. Memphis Grizzlies (via ORL)- Yaxel Lendeborg, F, Michigan
Lendeborg has shown the ability to do a little bit of everything throughout his college career. His skill as a big man is unique and should make him a first-round pick despite him being 24 years old.
18. Oklahoma City Thunder (via PHI)- Hannes Steinbach, C, Washington
Steinbach has some defensive issues, but his offense should make him a first-round pick. His 3-point percentage is over 35 percent so spacing the floor from his position can be a strength.
19. Charlotte Hornets (via PHO)- Chris Cenac, C, Houston
Cenac has had a good freshman season for Houston and has a good blend of size and athleticism.
20. Toronto Raptors- Labaron Philon, G, Alabama
Philon has improved in his sophomore season, shooting the ball better from 3-point range and assisting his teammates more.
21. Detroit Pistons (via MIN)- Patrick Ngongba, C, Duke
Ngongba can protect the rim well, but has a lot of room to develop on the offensive side of things.
22. Los Angeles Lakers- Cameron Carr, G, Baylor
While Baylor has had a rough season, Carr has shown some real potential with good athleticism and shooting.
23. Atlanta Hawks (via CLE)- Bennett Stirtz, G, Iowa
Stirtz can operate a half-court offense, showing the ability to do so at Drake and Iowa.
24. Philadelphia 76ers (via HOU)- Isaiah Evans, G, Duke
Evans has had a worse season shooting the basketball, but is still a threat from deep.
25. Denver Nuggets- Dailyn Swain, F, Texas
Swain has good skills for a forward and can get to the line a decent amount. His 3-point shot has improved yearly.
26. New York Knicks- Tyler Tanner, G, Vanderbilt
Tanner had a role last season, but now is a star for Vanderbilt. He can score and has a knack for getting steals on the defensive end.
27. Boston Celtics- Morez Johnson, F, Michigan
Johnson can score from the inside and rebound, but won’t space the floor much.
28. Cleveland Cavaliers (via SA)- Joshua Jefferson, F, Iowa State
Jefferson can pass well and has improved his 3-point shot.
29. Dallas Mavericks (via OKC)- Meleek Thomas, G, Arkansas
Thomas has scored well mostly off the bench this season and can play on or off the ball.
30. Minnesota Timberwolves (via DET)- Alex Condon, C, Florida
Condon still needs to improve his shooting, but he is a good inside scorer and rebounder.
