We’re less than a week away from the 2018 NBA draft, with the event set to take place on June 21 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
The SEC has plenty of players on teams’ radars, and most mock drafts project the league to have several former stars selected on Thursday night.
In the newest mock draft from NBADraft.net, the league has five players projected to land in the top 15 while two others are slated for the second round.
Here’s where SEC players stand in the newest projection:
- No. 9 – Michael Porter Jr. (New York Knicks)
- No. 10 – Kevin Knox (Philadelphia 76ers)
- No. 11 – Collin Sexton (Charlotte Hornets)
- No. 12 – Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (LA Clippers)
- No. 14 – Robert Williams (Denver Nuggets)
- No. 46 – Jarred Vanderbilt (Houston Rockets)
- No. 57 – Hamidou Diallo (Oklahoma City Thunder)
Arizona center DeAndre Ayton is projected to go No. 1 overall to Phoenix, and Duke forward Marvin Bagley is expected to go No. 2 to Sacramento.
Trae Young (Oklahoma), Jaren Jackson Jr. (Michigan State), and Luka Doncic (Slovenia) round out the top five.
Four SEC players were selected in the 2017 NBA draft.
