Yahoo Sports' Mock Draft 5.0 projects the first 14 picks now that the lottery fixed the order, with Washington taking BYU forward AJ Dybantsa at No. 1.
The mock slots Utah's Darryn Peterson at No. 2 and Memphis' Cameron Boozer at No. 3, framing both as top-five dynasty targets but with stronger immediate opportunity for Boozer.
Chicago's Caleb Wilson at No. 4 and the Clippers' Keaton Wagler at No. 5 are presented as fit-driven picks, with roster openings and veteran uncertainty shaping their early fantasy outlook.
Later lottery projections include Brooklyn taking Kingston Flemings at No. 6, Sacramento landing Darius Acuff Jr. at No. 7 and Dallas adding Mikel Brown Jr. at No. 9 as a Kyrie Irving succession plan.
The exercise emphasizes landing spot as much as talent, tying draft projections to dynasty and redraft value in a class billed as one of the most anticipated in recent memory.
