The National Basketball Association (NBA) draft is coming up soon on June 26. With so many top prospects entering the NBA, this is set to be one of the best draft classes in recent history.

   With so many great players, it may be tough to guess what players are going to which teams. Let’s try to predict the first 10 picks in this year’s NBA Draft.

   Since the lottery hasn’t happened yet, we’ll use ESPN’s projected draft order.

   Chris’ Picks:

• Washington Wizards: AJ Dybantsa, BYU, Freshman

   While picking between Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson will be a tough choice, I give Dybantsa the slight nod over Peterson. The small forward led the country in scoring this season at 25.5 points per game in the Big 12 conference, one of the best in the country.

   Dybantsa was also the main leader for the Brigham Young University (BYU) Cougars last season, tying the team’s lead for minutes per game at 34.8. As a high scorer, his game is easily NBA-ready even though he’s just a freshman.

• Indiana Pacers: Darryn Peterson, Kansas, Freshman

   Peterson entered the season as the easy number one overall pick over Dybantsa. However, playing time controversies dropped him down to number two.

   Peterson had multiple injuries and had his minutes limited for most of the season. He still ended up averaging over 20 points per game, and was the main offensive force for the Kansas Jayhawks.

   While I think Peterson has more talent than Dybantsa, he is not a leader in my opinion. He’s very quiet on the court, and I don’t think a team would want to draft him with the first pick. Even when he was injured, Kansas looked just as good, if not better, without him.

   Fortunately for Indiana, they already have a leader in Tyrese Haliburton once he returns from injury, so I think this is a great pick for Indiana.

• Brooklyn Nets: Darius Acuff Jr., Arkansas, Freshman

   Acuff came out of nowhere this season and had some of the best stats in college basketball. Averaging over 23 points per game this season, he’s one of the best pure scorers in this draft.

   Furthermore, Acuff constantly put the team on his back multiple times throughout the season. In a loss to Alabama, he scored 49 points and shot 60 percent from three-point range. 

   After the Nets had the worst scoring offense in the NBA last season, Acuff should help them put plenty of points on the board.

• Utah Jazz: Cameron Boozer, Duke, Freshman

   Boozer is a little bit of a wild card, but I think he has more potential than his counterpart Caleb Wilson. Son of former All-Star Carlos Boozer, he lived up to the lofty expectations put on him in college. 

   Averaging 22 points and 10 rebounds per game, Boozer took home the John R. Wooden Award for most outstanding men’s college basketball player.

   There are concerns about his athleticism, and his game resembling more of a center than a forward in college. At 6-feet-9, he’d be very undersized at that position in the NBA.

   However, he shot 39 percent from three, so if he can transition his game, he should pair great with one of the best young cores in the league.

• Sacramento Kings: Caleb Wilson, North Carolina, Freshman

   While the Kings would definitely prefer Acuff, I think Wilson will fit in just fine in Sacramento. He brings great scoring to one of the worst offenses in the NBA.

   Averaging 19 points per game, he had no trouble getting to the basket, shooting nearly 60 percent from the field. His defense was great too, and at 6-feet-10 he’s always a threat to block a shot inside.

   His two weaknesses are his three-point shooting and injury history. Thankfully, his injuries are minor, so they shouldn’t be too big of a concern.

• Memphis Grizzlies: Keaton Wagler, Illinois, Freshman

   Yet another freshman off the board, Wagler also came out of nowhere to have an amazing season at Illinois. A pure scorer, Wagler had no trouble scoring from deep, shooting 39 percent from three.

   The Grizzlies are another team desperate for a scorer, as they also had a bottom ten offense last season. Pairing Wagler with Ja Morant could be a good, sneaky combo for Memphis.

   The only concern for Wagler is his size, as it’ll take him a season or two to adjust to the physicality of the NBA.

• Atlanta Hawks: Kingston Flemings, Houston, Freshman

   The Hawks ended an era earlier this season after trading franchise cornerstone Trae Young to the Washington Wizards. As the main point guard, the Hawks are in need of a solid replacement, and Flemings could be the guy. 

   While CJ McCollum has looked great as a replacement, he’s 34 and bound to slow down at some point. Getting Flemings to develop behind an experienced veteran in McCollum is an amazing decision.

   Flemings was the main scorer for the Houston Cougars in a great season. He’s also a great defender, headlining a defense that was top five in college basketball last season.

• Dallas Mavericks: Aday Mara, Michigan, Junior

   The first upperclassman off the board, Mara is probably the best center in this draft. At 7-feet-3, Mara was a dominant force while helping lead Michigan to a national championship. 

   Mara brings some much needed height to a team who traded away one of the best centers in the game, Anthony Davis, in the previous season. His body is also very well conditioned for the NBA, as he averaged over 23 minutes per game last season.

   Teaming Mara up with Rookie of the Year Cooper Flagg gives Dallas a solid foundation to build off of for the future.

Barrett’s picks:

• Washington Wizards: Darryn Peterson, Kansas, Freshman. 

   I think that Darryn Peterson is an extremely polished prospect. Any time that I watched Kansas this season I was extremely impressed by his physical abilities as well as his raw talent. In the long run I think that makes him by far and away the best player in the draft. 

• Indiana Pacers: AJ Dybantsa, BYU, Freshman 

   I think that Dybantsa is a fantastic player. He certainly has an NBA ready game, and I think his skills will translate to the next level very well. 

• Brooklyn Nets: Cameron Boozer, Duke, Freshman

   Cameron Boozer is a very skilled forward, and he has a very high basketball IQ. His game on the offensive side of the ball is very NBA ready, and he has a winning resume. 

• Utah Jazz: Darius Acuff Jr., Arkansas, Freshman

   Darius Acuff is an explosive playmaking guard that has tremendous upside. He did very well at North Carolina. 

• Sacramento Kings: Caleb Wilson, North Carolina, Freshman

    Has a great defensive game. His offensive game is certainly progressing as well, and I can see Wilson being a premier two way player in the future. 

• Memphis Grizzlies: Keaton Wagler, Illinois, Freshman 

   Keaton Wagler is one of the craftiest players in this draft. He is a master of creating space with his combo of jab-steps, and pull up threes. He also was named the big 10 freshman of the year, and led Illinois to a final four appearance. 

• Atlanta Hawks: Kingston Flemings, Houston, Freshman

   Flemings is such an exciting player to watch. He is a fantastic two way guard, and has great ball handling skills. He did a great job running the Houston offense last season, and I think his game will translate very well to the next level.

• Dallas Mavericks: Aday Mara, Michigan, Junior

   Aday Mara is a very interesting prospect, because he is a very capable passer for a big. He is a great rim protector, and defensive anchor. Overall he is a very complete big, and I could see the mavericks utilizing his skills very well if they pick him up with the 8th pick. 

   Overall, this draft has potential to have a great and immediate impact on the league. Since most of these prospects are freshmen, the league should be full of talent for years to come.
