The Future of the NBA

Risers:

Emoni Bates (Michigan): Bates is a 6'9" forward who is considered one of the best prospects in the country. He's averaging 19.2 points and 8.2 rebounds per game this season, and he's shown flashes of being a dominant scorer and rebounder. Bates is projected to go No. 1 overall in the mock draft.
Jalen Duren (Memphis): Duren is a 6'11" center who is averaging 12.8 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game this season. He's a powerful rebounder and shot-blocker, and he's also shown some nice touch around the basket. Duren is projected to go No. 2 overall in the mock draft.
Paolo Banchero (Duke): Banchero is a 6'10" forward who is averaging 17.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game this season. He's a versatile scorer who can score inside and out, and he's also a good rebounder and passer. Banchero is projected to go No. 3 overall in the mock draft.

Fallers:

Chet Holmgren (Gonzaga): Holmgren is a 7'0" center who was considered the No. 1 overall prospect in the country coming into the season. However, he's struggled with injuries and inconsistency this season, and he's now projected to go No. 4 overall in the mock draft.
Jabari Smith (Auburn): Smith is a 6'10" forward who is averaging 16.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game this season. He's a good shooter and scorer, but he's not as athletic as some of the other top prospects in the draft. Smith is projected to go No. 5 overall in the mock draft.
AJ Griffin (Duke): Griffin is a 6'6" wing who is averaging 10.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game this season. He's a good shooter and athlete, but he needs to improve his ball-handling and decision-making. Griffin is projected to go No. 10 overall in the mock draft.
