10 college basketball teams with the most NBA prospects

Interesting. I think this includes future NBA players, not just guys who are likely to be drafted in 2026. We likely have zero draft picks for 2027 on the current roster.

Normally I would say a bunch of these touted freshmen won't be clear NBA draft picks, but freshman have been so good early on. Still time for some to come back to earth a bit.

I think 2 of those 4 names are 2027 guys in Reibe and Ball. And I'd expect Landrew to get a long look as well for 2027

notes from Sam Vecenie on UConn, this was published right before the Zona game. I was surprised to not see Reed listed amongst ESPN's top 60 but Solo and Reibe were, Reed is in a far better position to stick in the NBA than Sanogo was imo

NBA Draft takeaways: Cam Boozer’s hurdles, Kingston Flemings’ rise and more

This year's Champions Classic didn't have the same spark, but we learned a few things worth remembering as the draft cycle heats up.

A couple of Connecticut players also stood out against BYU. The aforementioned Karaban has returned each of the last two years after debating turning pro and looks terrific overall this season. He’s seemingly taking on a leadership role and continues to take steps forward as the program’s most experienced player. He also dropped 21 points while shooting 8 of 11 from the field, including four 3s, against BYU. Demary had a terrific game, too, scoring 21 points and dishing out seven assists while also playing tough defense on Wright and playing strong in help defense. But starting center Tarris Reed Jr. has impressed the scouts the most. In an underwhelming class of big men, Reed has been quite productive on his way to 20 points and nine rebounds per game in Connecticut’s first three games, including a 21-point outing against the Cougars. He’s massive at 265 pounds with a listed 6-11 height. More than that, he also has long arms and moves his feet far better than people expect. He plays well within Connecticut’s defensive scheme, where the Huskies will ask him to show and recover in ball screens regularly. He has fluid feet on the block mixed with nice touch. Don’t be surprised to see him selected in June’s draft, with a couple of scouts seeing potential for him to go somewhere between No. 25 and No. 40 if his season continues along this trajectory.
