NBA Draft.net is run and heavily influenced by a couple of agencies.
ESPN (after the DraftExpress buyout) and The Athletic are the only reputable NBA draft sites in my experience.
Gotcha
I just always used DraftNet as it seems to be the one that a big amount of the online basketball community uses

One recruiting class (barely) in the top 50 in talent, and still a first team All-American and battling for the conference title till the last game of the season. That Rick Barnes knows how to develop talent.

Yeah they probably get the most eyeballs since they are free and the others are behind paywalls but I don't think they have a very good track record.

They didn’t update their 18 draft months later man cmon.
And look at the picks not all of them are right.

It's very common practice for these sites to update after the fact to make their mocks look better. Chad Ford is notorious for it.

I was unaware of that.
Only one i will say i do remember was the Knox pick.
Remember following the draft closely and watching it with Knicks fans here.
Jokingly looked at the site and said , “y’all will take Knox”
No other site had that, and there he went

Congrats on individual awards. I myself will take all the team championships. Selection is tainted anyway, why is Zion first team he hasn’t played in a bit.

Yeah it's no big deal, but very interesting to see some huge deviations in guys like Naz Reid and Grant Williams between the different sites. They will probably look a lot closer in a month or two.

Yeah, I don't have an issue with that

Grant has had one helluva season and definitely warrants recognition.

F is for Flopper
Couldn't even win a share of the conference championship.

I don't either.
He established himself as an all american in those 25 games.
The 6 he missed really didn't matter. If anything seeing how much Duke struggled, it actually showed more of why he was an All American this year.
