“I was fortunate we're watching the combine... and Sam Presti was sitting just a couple of seats away. His eyes were locked in on this guy: Morez Johnson Jr.” - @SeanFarnham
2026 NBA DRAFT TOP 60 BIG BOARD POST EARLY ENTRY WITHDRAWAL DEADLINE
Only player not officially confirmed is Meleek Thomas, but I'm projecting he did stay in the draft. Ceiling tiers are based on upside. #NBA#nbadraftlottery
2026 NBA MOCK DRAFT LATEST PROJECTIONS
This would include players that I'm currently projecting in the 1st round ahead of the withdrawal deadline. Confident about the prospects I have placed in the lottery, now it's just the order. #NBA#NBADraft
Why is Morez Johnson continuing to climb?
Because he provides a combination of abilities that no one else, outside the top 4, possesses in this draft.

James Madison is absolutely killing it in the portal. Brandon Lee and KJ Windham could be high level players In the Sun Belt coming from the Big Ten ranks. Delaware transfer Cavan Reilly is a pure sniper. Notre Dame transfer Garrett Sundra will add size and shooting at 6-11. Jacob Hogarth from Gardner Webb adds a little more athleticism and rebounding. Sophomore forward Preston Fowler is also back. Averaged six and four last year.
Super high upside team for Preston Spradlin.
Sources indicate Morez Johnson Jr. is rapidly rising up NBA Draft boards following a huge combine week, while Aday Mara also now looks likely to stay in the draft

Morez Johnson Jr. & Cameron Carr are my two biggest stock-risers from the NBA Draft Combine.

Morez Johnson measured nearly identical to Naz Reid's 2019 pre-draft numbers: 6'9 barefoot, ~250 pounds, 7'3+ wingspan. Similar build and length.
Morez has a lot of fans in NBA front offices, both on the scouting and analytics sides.
