ESPN's 2026 NBA Mock Draft: Warriors and Kings' Picks Revealed

The 2026 NBA Draft is just eight days away, with the Warriors and the Kings continuing their preparation before officially making their respective picks.

With the lottery results not in their favor, the Sacramento Kings possess the No. 7 pick, while the Golden State Warriors stand pat with the No. 11 overall selection.

ESPN has released its latest mock draft, projecting who the Warriors and the Kings will select with their first-round picks.

Listed at 6-foot-5, 190 pounds, Brown Jr. would be a fitting addition to the Kings, adding a dynamic guard who consistently creates and makes shots.

"Brown appears to be on solid footing going into next week and has had a positive predraft process, putting himself in play above this slot with the Clippers and Nets, and with interest all over the top 10," ESPN's Jeremy Woo wrote.

"His size and well-rounded skill set give him an argument as the ball handler with the highest offensive upside in this second tier of prospects.

The 2026 freshman standout averaged 18.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game while shooting 41 percent from the field and 34.4 percent from 3-point range.

Similarly, Mara would be an ideal choice for the Warriors, standing 7-foot-3 and 255 pounds, he would instantly add size and a much-needed paint presence.

"Mara has been a steady riser with an outlier-level mix of size, coordination, and skill as a true 7-footer that is extremely difficult to find," Woo wrote.

Mara truly shone during his junior season with Michigan, where he averaged 12.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game and shot 66.8 percent from the field.
