2027 NBA Mock Draft v. 1.0 with @CBSSports Adam Finkelstein
Sam likes Moreno's mix of shot-blocking and passing: a real 6'11 center who screens well, makes plays out of the short roll and uses his length at the rim. Sam would like him to be more physical inside and a better rebounder. Adam has him at 6'11.25 barefoot, thinks he might shoot one day, and says few players his size think the game as well. Adam expects Kentucky to run a good amount of offense through him.
Way Too Early 2027 NBA Mock Draft
Calls Moreno a pretty high-upside center after a nice freshman season at Kentucky in a challenging environment: a really explosive rim protector who can pass. Rough around the edges, but the talent is real.
Way Too Early 2027 NBA Mock Draft | The First Round
Calls Moreno a pretty safe bet: a productive seven-foot college big who should improve a lot in year two and offers value at almost any pick. He protects the rim, defends and finishes plays, and passes and playmakes better than most bigs his size.
Way Too Early 2027 NBA Mock Draft
Had a high second-round grade on Moreno in 2026 but thinks another year at Kentucky in a weaker big class can make him a first-rounder. Calls him a 7-footer with good mobility who passes well from the high and low post and protects the rim.
Way-Too-Early 2027 NBA Mock Draft | FULL First Round
Sees Moreno as a seven-footer with coordination, mobility and passing feel — two assists a game as a top-of-the-key hub at Kentucky — plus a 9'3.5 standing reach and real shot-blocking potential. The next step is strength and physicality; if his body catches up, he has a clean path as a rim-running, rim-protecting big.
