Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama were the first two players selected in a 10-team, roto/category league fantasy basketball mock draft for the 2026-27 NBA season, ESPN reported.

The mock draft, run by ESPN's fantasy basketball staff, simulated how a rotisserie/category-style league might unfold ahead of the new season, with the two star big men going off the board before any other player.

ESPN's report frames the draft as a guide for fantasy managers preparing for their own leagues, illustrating how analysts currently value top players under a roto/category scoring format as opposed to points-based leagues.

Further details on the remainder of the draft order and the reasoning behind individual picks were not specified in the excerpt of ESPN's report.
