Nba Mock Draft: Consensus top three hold as Bulls enter top-10 chatter
The latest nba mock draft landscape keeps AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson and Cameron Boozer as the consensus top three, a grouping that matters now because Draft Digest lists them in that exact order heading into the stretch where conference tournaments heat up.
Nba Mock Draft: Top-three snapshot
Draft Digest's latest mock draft places AJ Dybantsa first, Darryn Peterson second and Cameron Boozer third. Dybantsa is a 6-foot-9 freshman at BYU who is leading college basketball in scoring at 24. 9 points per game and posting 53-36-76 shooting splits, with a near-seven-foot wingspan and footwork scouts note as advanced for his size.
Peterson, a 6-foot-5 wing for Kansas, has shown elite scoring when on the floor—he has appeared in 17 of Kansas's 28 total games—and is described as the best offensive weapon on his team when healthy. Boozer is highlighted for his versatility as part of the consensus top three.
Chicago slide-in fuels Mock Draft Roundup
A separate mock draft roundup projects the Chicago Bulls moving into the top 10 and possibly landing a true difference-maker in the 2026 NBA Draft. The roundup notes Chicago added 6+ new players at the trade deadline, a change that leaves the team's positional makeup and roster plans uncertain while the draft season unfolds.
Prospects linked to Chicago and their concrete profiles
Koa Peat, listed at 6-foot-8 and 235 pounds out of Arizona, is noted for doing most of his work in the paint and ranked sixth in the Big 12 in field-goal percentage at 54. 2% at the time of the write-up, with a 16. 5% assist rate over 25 games.
Nate Ament, a 6-foot-10, 207-pound freshman at Tennessee, averages 18. 0 points per game and has generated 7. 4 free-throw attempts per game over 26 games; he scored at a 22. 8 PPG clip across his last six games while Tennessee went 5-1 in that stretch.
Keaton Wagler, a 6-foot-6, 185-pound shooting guard from Illinois, erupted for 46 points in a win over Purdue that included a 9-for-11 performance from three. He is listed at 42% from three on 5. 8 attempts per game and 81. 3% from the free-throw line on 6. 3 attempts per game, though the write-up flags defensive and athleticism concerns.
How these projections feed the immediate calendar
Mock drafters are settling ranges as the season moves toward its next checkpoints: with less than a week until March and less than three weeks until all conference tournaments are fully underway, projections like the Draft Digest ordering and the Bulls' top-10 placement are shaping team board talk and fan expectations ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft.
Teams and draft observers now shift focus to conference tournament results and the remaining regular-season games that will further clarify prospect standing and draft order before the 2026 draft itself.
