The 2021 NBA Draft is nearly here, and on Thursday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, several future All-Stars will walk across the stage and be welcomed by their new teams.

Led by consensus No. 1 overall prospect Cade Cunningham, the Class of 2021 is loaded with talent, and it would not be a surprise to see star players come from outside the lottery.

Check out our final Rookie Wire mock draft.

Before the draft gets underway at 8:00 p.m. ET on ABC and ESPN on Thursday, make your picks below for every first round selection. It’s expected that Cunningham is a lock to go No. 1, but after that, we could see plenty of trades and surprising picks.
