Wembanyama, Jokić Lead Early 2026‑27 Fantasy Mock Draft

Rotoworld staffers Raphielle Johnson and Noah Rubin ran a six‑round, 10‑team mock draft for a head‑to‑head league. The first round saw Victor Wembanyama selected first overall, followed by Nikola Jokić, Luka Dončić, Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander, Tyrese Maxey, Cade Cunningham, Tyrese Haliburton, Jalen Johnson, Anthony Edwards, and Kevin Durant. afnews.co.za

Haliburton’s pick—despite missing the entire 2025‑26 season with a ruptured Achilles—highlights the uncertainty managers face regarding return‑to‑play timelines. The mock also underscores how eight‑category formats differ from leagues where turnovers are a scoring category, affecting early‑round decisions.
