Nba Mock Draft 2026 puts Kansas’ Darryn Peterson at No. 1 despite sitting out
An AI-driven nba mock draft 2026 release offered a fresh set of first-round picks and predictions, and it left Kansas’ Darryn Peterson at No. 1 in the prospect rankings despite him sitting out again. The pair of new items — an AI mock draft and an updated big board — form the latest coverage of the 2026 class.
Nba Mock Draft 2026 highlights: AI-first round picks and predictions
The AI project produced a 2026 NBA mock draft that lists first-round picks and predictions, framing which players the model projects to go early in the draft. That AI-driven mock draft is presented alongside an updated evaluative effort, and both pieces emphasize projected draft positioning rather than game results or recent on-court minutes.
Darryn Peterson remains No. 1 after sitting out again
Kansas' Darryn Peterson holds the No. 1 spot in the prospect rankings despite sitting out again, a concrete anchor in the new coverage. The ranking keeps Peterson at the top of the class on the updated lists even though the releases note his lack of recent play.
Big Board vol. 2 updates Top 30 prospects and player evaluations
Alongside the AI mock draft, NBA Draft Big Board vol. 2 presents an updated Top 30 prospects list and player evaluations. The volume focuses on positional evaluations and prospect ordering, and it refreshes the Top 30 evaluations used by teams, analysts, and draft watchers who track prospect movement.
The two releases together — the AI mock draft with its first-round picks and predictions and the Big Board vol. 2 with its Top 30 and player evaluations — constitute the most recent public projections available in the coverage. Both specifically single out Darryn Peterson as the leading prospect while noting his continued absence from competition.
No additional schedule or next instalment was listed in the materials provided about the AI mock draft and the Big Board vol. 2. For now, the published projections stand: an AI-crafted set of first-round predictions and a refreshed Top 30 that places Kansas' Darryn Peterson at No. 1 despite sitting out again.
