NBA Draft Approaches: Danny Wolf and Ben Sharaf Among Top Prospects

The NBA Draft is fast approaching, with only two weeks remaining until two of the most intriguing prospects for the Israeli audience-Danny Wolf and Ben Sharaf-are selected. As anticipation builds, recent mock drafts have showcased promising projections for both players.

Danny Wolf’s Rising Stock

In the latest mock drafts released today by both “The Ringer” and “The Athletic,” Danny Wolf, the Jewish forward, has received notable attention. “The Ringer” has placed Wolf at an impressive 11th overall, a selection that would place him with the Portland Trail Blazers, the team of fellow Israeli Danny Avdija. Writer Jay Kelly Mann expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “I am obsessed with the idea that Portland would want another talented and stable player in the athletic frontcourt. This could be a dream scenario.”

Conversely, “The Athletic” has rated Wolf 13th overall in their mock draft, making him a potential pick for the Atlanta Hawks. Such high rankings reflect increasing recognition of Wolf’s talent and potential impact in the league.

Ben Sharaf’s Draft Position

On the other hand, Ben Sharaf has been projected to go later in the draft. “The Athletic” has him ranked 28th, which would lead him to the Brooklyn Nets, while “The Ringer” has slightly elevated him to 27th, putting him in the sights of the Boston Celtics. Despite the projections, “The Ringer” noted that 27th may be “far too low” for Sharaf considering the uncertainty surrounding his shooting and playmaking abilities.
