2025 NBA Mock Draft V.3

Jan 8, 2025 | noceilingsnba.com | Miles Byrd

Things are starting to get interesting in the NBA Draft world. The upcoming months in the scouting world are some of the most important. With conference play underway, it’s time for players to prove themselves to evaluators. Are you a “this year” guy? Or would another year unlock the tools? Over the recent years, we’ve seen that these months could be crucial for players cementing themselves as legit prospects for the upcoming NBA Draft.
2024 California Classic Recap

Jul 11, 2024 | noceilingsnba.com | Nick Agar-Johnson

While the main event of Summer League begins tomorrow in Las Vegas, the summer portion of the NBA schedule is not just limited to Sin City. Orlando Summer League has come and gone, sadly, but other locations have arisen to take its place. While there were plenty of fun games in Salt Lake City for Summer League, the NBA’s summer calendar opened up with this year’s sixth annual California Classic.
Oklahoma City Thunder 2024 NBA Draft Lottery Preview

Jun 10, 2024 | noceilingsnba.com | Nick Agar-Johnson

Nick: The Oklahoma City Thunder are in perhaps the most enviable position of any team in the NBA. They were the #1 seed in the Western Conference last season, and they climbed to the top seed much earlier than anyone expected. They also have a ton of room to grow—their core players were all in their age 25 or younger seasons last year, with second-place MVP finisher Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as the oldest of the bunch; he won’t turn 26 until after the 2024 NBA Draft.
Sacramento Kings 2024 NBA Draft Lottery Preview

Jun 6, 2024 | noceilingsnba.com | Nick Agar-Johnson

Stephen: It’s awesome for me to be present at this time of year, Nick. Over the course of my time with the No Ceilings team, I have missed the actual NBA Draft for the past two seasons. While we have spent much of the past few months evaluating the talent in this class, we now have a new objective: Figuring out where they do based on the draft order. We’re continuing our lotto series with the Sacramento Kings.
Portland Trail Blazers Lottery Preview

Jun 4, 2024 | noceilingsnba.com | Nick Agar-Johnson

Rucker: It’s always an exciting time to talk about what could happen when projecting the early portion of the NBA Draft. Personally, though, I love it when we can start to pivot and focus on specific teams. With a year that features so much uncertainty, especially in the lottery, we’re going to need to be open-minded with some of the names that can come into the picture for each team. Portland has my attention as one of the most exciting teams to watch in the lottery.
How Dereck Lively II Achieved More By Doing Less and What We Can Learn For the 2024 NBA Draft

May 3, 2024 | noceilingsnba.com | Tyler Metcalf

One of the pitfalls with draft evaluation is our desire for prospects to be able to do everything. We get too hung up on what prospects can’t do instead of focusing on what they can do. This is a difficult obstacle to overcome with any position, but the center position may be the most ridiculed in this realm. One of the biggest victims of this in the 2023 NBA Draft cycle was Dereck Lively II who was drafted 12th overall by the Dallas Mavericks.
2024 NBA Draft Editor's Notes: Volume Three

May 2, 2024 | noceilingsnba.com | Nick Agar-Johnson

Spring has sprung, the NBA playoffs are in full swing, and the Madness of March is beginning to fade into the rearview mirror. For a few select NBA fanbases, the excitement levels are at a fever pitch. For the rest of the NBA fanbases, as well as the draft fanatics, the month of June is less about the NBA Finals and more about the 2024 NBA Draft. We here at No Ceilings have been covering the draft all year long, and we’re kicking into an even higher gear as draft night gets closer and closer.
Revisiting Zaccharie Risacher

Apr 26, 2024 | noceilingsnba.com | Tyler Metcalf

The last calendar year for Zaccharie Risacher has been a rollercoaster. After a rough showing at the 2023 Nike Hoop Summit and a disappearing act in the 2023 U19 FIBA World Cup, Risacher’s draft stock had a skeptical outlook at best. Despite his struggles, Risacher came into this season looking like a new player, as he was a lights-out shooter. After this recent cold shooting stretch, though, Risacher’s skeptics have been re-energized.
Tristan da Silva Thrives Doing the Little Things

Mar 15, 2024 | noceilingsnba.com | Tyler Metcalf

One of the more important aspects of a prospect’s translation to the NBA that often gets overlooked is how much they elevate those around them. The tricky part about this is that it can come in many different forms. The most obvious version of this is with stars who can put their team on their back, create for others, and consistently take over games.
Don't Overthink Antonio Reeves

Mar 8, 2024 | noceilingsnba.com | Tyler Metcalf

One of the most fascinating (and frustrating) aspects of scouting is overthinking a prospect. Whether it’s his age, lack of defense, inconsistent shooting, inconsistent production, or any other nitpick that we end up overblowing the importance of, we always find a way to overthink a prospect’s flaws while ignoring their very obvious strengths. In the 2024 NBA Draft, I’m not sure if there’s a prospect that fits more perfectly into this category than Antonio Reeves from Kentucky.
