The NBA Draft’s order is set, so it’s time for our latest mock draft.

The NBA Draft lottery has come and gone, giving us the final order for our mock draft. While the Boston Celtics maintained their grip on the top spot, there was still plenty of movement. The Los Angeles Lakers moved up to No. 2, holding onto their pick this year, and the Sacramento Kings jumped all the way up to No. 3, but had to swap picks with the Philadelphia 76ers, moving the Kings back down to No. 5.

We’re obviously still relatively early in the draft process with plenty of individual workouts and meetings to come, so take these selections with a grain of salt. To help, I’ve tried to discuss the reasoning for each pick as well as what the player could potentially bring to the selecting franchise down the road.

Here’s a look at our latest mock draft.
