NBA eyes were on Koa Peat from Day 1 after his 30-point debut in a win over Florida. Though that would wind up being his season high, his production remained steady for a team that was ranked top two for most of the season.

Compared to the top freshmen guards, scouts were less familiar with Kingston Flemings entering the season. He wasn't a McDonald's All-American or a member of USA's team at the Nike Hoop Summit. But Flemings made such a strong first impression at Houston that he was thrown into the lottery discussion before December.

Thomas Haugh started the year on breakout watch after playing a key role in Florida's 2025 national championship run. He backed up the expectations, finishing his junior year at 17.1 points a game with a very NBA-friendly mix of skills and strengths for a 6'9" forward.

Brayden Burries didn't look like a one-and-done prospect after the first two weeks of the season. And then it clicked—Burries started to make shots and consistently give Arizona a key source of shooting and rim pressure. He'd soon emerge as the leading scorer for a No. 1 seed in the Final Four.

The 10th annual Iverson Classic will feature the top incoming NCAA freshmen, including the potential No. 1 overall pick for the 2027 NBA draft.

With a 1.0 percent chance, the Miami Heat have won this week's simulated NBA draft lottery.

The NBA combine kicked off on Monday with measurements, shooting drills and athletic tests.

Every year, the NBA Draft Combine gives prospects a chance to change their draft stock in front of dozens of front offices — through measurements, athletic testing, scrimmages and closed-door interviews. The 2026 Combine wrapped up its scrimmage sessions on Wednesday in Chicago, and the results were already consequential for a number of players.

Every NBA front office was in Chicago to learn more about the 2026 draft class. And there was plenty to take away from measurements, athletic testing, scrimmaging and interviews, events in which the results moved the needle on a number of players' projected outlooks and stock.

With the withdrawal date passing, the 2026 NBA draft field is set, and every team's draft board is being finalized. We also locked in our top 75 prospects and created rankings if we were evaluating each prospect in a vacuum.
