Welcome to the LWOS basketball department’s official NBA Draft Big Board. The same group that made the mock draft — Jack Moon Perrin, Tanay Patri, Ryan Timmerman, Harrison Marcus, and myself — indirectly made the big board as well. By taking each mock draft and assigning a point value to each overall pick, the big board was born. First overall equals 30 points, second overall equals 29 points, third overall equals 28 points, and so on. A big board is supposed to represent an order of pure talent from player to player without having to consider team needs and tendencies. Our big board goes 37 players deep, which is a testament to the variety of options teams have to go to at the end of the first round.
Be sure to keep our big board on tab when draft night rolls around! Click the name to read the scouting report.
