Here are the 2026 NBA Draft highlights.

The first three picks of the first round in the 2026 NBA Draft were AJ Dybantsa (Washington Wizards), Darryn Peterson (Utah Jazz), and Cameron Boozer (Memphis Grizzlies). Nine of the first 10 picks this year were college freshmen, tying the record for most freshmen in the top 10, set in 2017 and 2025. 

It is the last year—at least through the 2029 NBA Draft—that teams with the worst records had the best odds at winning the No. 1 pick in the lottery, before changes in the implementation of the lottery odds.
