As we venture into the start of the college basketball season, and with games currently being played abroad; we thought it would be fitting to produce our first ever pre-season Big Board. At Between The Lines Sports, we have meticulously scouted every player included in this list, leaving no stone unturned in our pursuit of a comprehensive and accurate assessment.
Our team of dedicated and passionate analysts has spent countless hours studying game tapes, analyzing statistics, and even conducting personal interviews to gain valuable insights into the potential of these rising stars. We understand the gravity of our responsibility in providing a credible and insightful projection of the future stars of the NBA.
It is essential to emphasize that while we stand by the current order of our mock draft, this is by no means a final verdict. The dynamic nature of the basketball world, the evolving performance of players, and the unpredictability of the upcoming season demand a continual reevaluation of our rankings. The journey from pre-season to the actual draft is rife with twists and turns, and we are fully prepared to adapt and adjust our analysis accordingly.
Our commitment to delivering accurate and reliable information remains unwavering, and we take great pride in our ability to provide our readers with a comprehensive understanding of the potential prospects that could soon grace the NBA courts.
We urge our readers to approach this initial Big Board with an understanding that it serves as a snapshot of our current assessments, but it is not set in stone. We will continue to monitor the performance of these players closely throughout the season and provide regular updates as the draft approaches.

Note: We are also aware that this Draft will only consist of 59 picks due to a team infraction , which we believe it is unfair to the prospects to lose out on their dream of being drafted, so they will be listed on our Mock throughout the process.
