About Baseline to Baseline
NBA Draft scouting, mock drafts, salary cap analysis & trade simulation
Baseline to Baseline is a professional-grade NBA Draft and front-office analytics platform built for fans, analysts, scouts, and basketball operations professionals. Our coverage spans the full ecosystem of pre-draft evaluation: NBA Draft scouting reports, NBA player comparisons, NBA mock drafts, NBA team salary cap analysis, and a fully interactive NBA trade simulator powered by real Spotrac contracts and the live RealGM future-pick ledger.
NBA Draft Scouting Reports for All 200 Prospects
Every prospect in our 2026 NBA Draft database includes a detailed NBA scouting report covering measurables, positional fit, statistical production, projected role, strengths, weaknesses, and developmental ceiling. Reports are written in front-office voice — concise, scout-credible, and grounded in actual film and box-score evidence rather than hype. Each top-60 prospect also includes a YouTube film embed for instant highlight access. Whether you're tracking 2026 NBA Draft prospects like AJ Dybantsa, Cameron Boozer, Darryn Peterson, Caleb Wilson, and Nate Ament, or evaluating second-round sleepers and international auto-eligible names, our database is updated continuously to reflect the latest declarations, transfers, and stock movement.
NBA Player Comparisons & Style Profiles
Every top-60 prospect on our board carries a vetted NBA player comparison — a past or present NBA player whose game most closely mirrors the prospect's skill set, frame, and role projection. These comparisons help front offices, scouts, and fans visualize translation to the NBA level. Comparisons are stylistic, not absolute ceilings, and are paired with reasoning so users understand exactly *why* the comparison was made.
2026 NBA Mock Draft & Team-by-Team Fits
Our 60-pick 2026 NBA Mock Draft mirrors the latest monthly consensus aggregated from ESPN, The Athletic, Bleacher Report, SI, The Ringer, Tankathon, Rookie Scale, and other respected industry sources. We update the consensus version every month so the board always reflects the freshest stock-up / stock-down movement. In addition to the consensus board, our Team Fits AI generates a personalized big board for any of the 30 NBA franchises by weighing the team's roster gaps, positional needs, and current cap situation against the top 60 prospects. No two teams have the same board — exactly how draft rooms actually operate.
NBA Salary Cap Analysis & Cap Sheets
Our NBA salary cap analysis covers all 30 teams with current 2025-26 total payroll, cap space, projected luxury tax bill, and cap-room trajectory. Data is pulled from Spotrac and refreshed weekly via an automated cron pipeline, so the numbers you see on Baseline to Baseline match the numbers on team cap sheets. Use the cap pages to identify which teams are over the apron, which have cap room to absorb salary, and which face critical extension or rebuild decisions.
NBA Trade Simulator with Real Contracts & Future Picks
Build any NBA trade using real Spotrac contracts and our parsed RealGM future-pick ledger covering protections, conveyances, and conditional language through 2031. The Trade Simulator validates salary matching against current CBA rules, flags hard-cap and apron complications, and lets you save and share scenarios. Our new AI Trade Finder goes a step further: tell it what your team is targeting (for example, "3&D wing under 28 with playoff experience") and Claude generates 3-5 cap-realistic trade ideas with reasoning for both sides — the kind of ideation tool front offices typically pay vendors for.
Built for the 2026 NBA Draft Class
Our coverage of the 2026 NBA Draft class is sourced directly from the official NBA Early Entry list, supplemented by NCAA seniors and graduate students with auto-eligibility and international prospects born in 2004 or earlier. We rigorously filter out high schoolers, active NBA and G-League players, and prospects who have officially withdrawn. The result: a 200-deep, executive-grade prospect board that's 100% verified — the same standard a working front office would expect.
Baseline to Baseline serves NBA fans, draft analysts, fantasy basketball players, sports media, and basketball operations professionals seeking a single, trustworthy source for NBA Draft prospects, NBA mock drafts, NBA scouting reports, NBA salary cap analysis, and NBA trade scenarios.
