26. Indiana Pacers – Colby Jones (Xavier)

27. Charlotte Hornets – Rayan Rupert (France)

28. Utah Jazz – James Nnaji (Nigeria)

29. Indiana Pacers – Brandin Podziemski (Santa Clara)

30. Los Angeles Clippers – GG Jackson (South Carolina)

We conclude our 2023 NBA Mock Draft here with the No. 26-30 pick range, which sees one name from the SEC selected in Jackson at No. 30 overall to the Los Angeles Clippers. Jackson, who is one of the youngest players in the draft, will help add frontcourt depth for the Clippers, and could end up being a steal as he could have a significant amount of upside.

Rounding out the last five picks are the Pacers adding a wing in Jones at No. 26 after we had them landing Ausar Thompson earlier in the round, as well as another intriguing prospect at No. 29 with Podziemski. We also have the Jazz adding an intriguing frontcourt prospect in Nnaji at No. 28, as well as the Hornets adding Rupert, a wing from France.
