NBA.com consensus mock draft: Third pick to New York

Stock watch: Holding at No. 3

Barrett entered the 2018-19 season as the projected No. 1 overall pick, but was “passed” during the six-month season by Zion Williamson and Ja Morant on the pecking order. There was at least person making a case that Barrett should remain at the top, but he may be slightly biased – Barrett’s high school coach, Kevin Boyle.
