Aggregate 2026 NBA Mock Draft 3.0: A special class comes into focus
As the NBA season pivots toward the trade deadline, the scouting landscape for the 2026 NBA Draft is shifting from speculative projection to concrete reality. The release of the Aggregate 2026 NBA Mock Draft 3.0, which consolidates rankings from every major scouting outlet including ESPN, The Athletic, and Bleacher Report, confirms what the league has whispered for over a year: this class is a franchise-altering event.
The headline of the Aggregate 3.0 is the crystallization of a historic "Big Three." While previous years often featured a debate between two prospects, the consensus has locked in on a triumvirate that is rapidly separating from the field. AJ Dybantsa (BYU) retains the slight edge for the No. 1 spot on the majority of boards. His 6-foot-9 frame and fluid shot-creation represent the archetype of the modern NBA superstar wing. However, Cameron Boozer (Duke) is making the decision incredibly difficult for scouts. Boozer’s advanced metrics are shattering records, with a Box Plus-Minus (BPM) that suggests he is one of the most productive freshmen in NCAA history, offering a floor that feels playoff-ready immediately.
Joining them in this elite tier is Darryn Peterson (Kansas). The aggregate data shows Peterson closing the gap, offering a dynamic guard skillset that appeals to teams needing a primary ball-handler rather than a wing finisher. The consensus is becoming clear: landing any of these three is a monumental victory.
Below the summit, the Aggregate 3.0 reveals a stable but talented lottery class. Caleb Wilson (UNC) and Tyran Stokes have solidified their standing in the top five, providing high-level consolation prizes that would likely go No. 1 in weaker drafts. The stability of these rankings compared to the volatile 2.0 version suggests that scouts have seen enough conference play to make definitive judgments. For the NBA teams currently engaged in the "race to the bottom," the data validates the strategy. In a class this loaded, the lottery odds in June will carry more weight than perhaps any draft since 2003.
