Duke basketball fans, buckle up. If Bleacher Report’s 2026 NBA Mock Draft is anywhere close to reality, Jon Scheyer is about to make history — and it’s nothing short of jaw-dropping.
Not one. Not two. Not three. Not four. But FIVE Duke Blue Devils are projected to go in the first round of the 2026 NBA Draft. Let that sink in.
Leading the way is superstar forward Cameron Boozer, slotted at No. 2 overall to the Washington Wizards. The son of former NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer, Cameron has been hyped as a can’t-miss prospect for years — and he’s living up to every bit of it.
Right behind him? His twin brother, Cayden Boozer, going No. 11 to the Sacramento Kings. Two Boozers in the lottery? That’s the stuff of basketball legend.
But Duke isn’t stopping there. Dame Sarr, a smooth-scoring international guard, is pegged at No. 17 to the Milwaukee Bucks, giving Giannis a future backcourt weapon.
At No. 22, Pat Ngongba is projected to the Golden State Warriors, where his athleticism and rim protection could make him an instant fan favorite in the Bay. And rounding out the Blue Devil takeover, Isaiah Evans lands at No. 24 to the New York Knicks, a perfect big-market fit for his two-way potential.
If these projections hold true, Duke would match — or even surpass — legendary draft classes from the past, like Kentucky’s unforgettable 2015 group. Jon Scheyer’s recruiting machine is firing on all cylinders, and the NBA pipeline in Durham looks stronger than ever.
Five Blue Devils. One draft. History in the making.
