The 2018 NBA Draft is upon us. One of the most anticipated drafts in years, this class has several players at the top of the board who have All-Star potential. The class is headlined by four big men – Jaren Jackson, Marvin Bagley, Mohamed Bamba, and probable number one pick DeAndre Ayton – as well as possibly the best international prospect we’ve ever seen in Luka Doncic.

Outside of the Phoenix Suns likely taking Ayton, we have little concrete information as to how the rest of the draft is going to play out. The Sacramento Kings at pick two might take Doncic, Bagley, or Michael Porter Jr. The Hawks at pick three might take Doncic, Jackson, or Trae Young. That variability could make for a wild night on our hands.

As we count down the final hours to the draft, here are our final draft rankings for the top 60 prospects this year. In this, you’ll find short summaries of each player, projected offensive and defensive roles, and links to all of our detailed summaries our staff has written throughout the year. If you have been following our draft coverage this year, we’d like to thank you for reading, and hope you’ll find this final ranking valuable.
