2026 NBA Mock Draft: Surprising First-Round Picks That Could Change the Future of Every Team
17. Oklahoma City Thunder: Dailyn Swain, Texas, 6-7 Wing
Swain finished his junior season with a 7.4 DRIP, ranking 16th nationally. Our draft model believes in him on both sides of the ball, as he’s projected to have above-average offensive and defensive DRIP ratings by the end of his rookie contract. For the Thunder, he can add depth at the wing if they decline Lou Dort’s team option or pick it up but allow him to leave after next season.
18. Charlotte Hornets: Morez Johnson Jr., Michigan, 6-9 Forward
Johnson is a big, physical defender who will give the Hornets strong rim protection without sacrificing the speed they so heavily rely on. Offensively, he has the makings of a solid finisher and could be a great lob target for LaMelo Ball.
