CBS Sports expected to grade every first-round pick in upcoming NBA Draft
CBS Sports analyst Cameron Salerno is expected to grade every first-round pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, according to CBS Sports. Earlier mock drafts from USA Today named AJ Dybantsa, Cameron Boozer and Darryn Peterson as top prospects and outlined the teams likely to select them. An updated mock from SB Nation later highlighted Dybantsa as the probable first overall pick and noted shifts in the lottery order. Yahoo Sports reported that the draft will be held in Brooklyn with the Washington Wizards holding the top pick, and later added speculation about a possible Giannis Antetokounmpo trade.
CBS Sports projected the Wizards to choose Dybantsa and noted that Utah may move up to target Cam Boozer at No. 2, while league sources echoed the same expectations. NBC Sports indicated that the NBA is expected to announce the full list of first- and second-round selections for all teams. Finally, CBS Sports said that Salerno will assign grades to each first-round selection, highlighting a strong top tier led by Dybantsa, Peterson and Boozer.
