NBA Draft is almost here! Check out our full first-round mock draft, including top picks like Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper, a surprise Pelicans trade, and bold predictions that could reshape the NBA’s future,

Maluach’s size is an obvious place to start; he’s a bona fide big man whose 7-6.75 wingspan was the highest at the draft combine. His youth and potential to make major progress are worth highlighting, too. Maluach began playing basketball in 2019 and represented South Sudan at the Paris Olympics as a 17-year-old. He’ll be 18 on draft night.
