2025 NBA Draft (ESPN - May 19th)

The 2025 NBA Draft Combine has concluded, wrapping up the final public scouting opportunity before the selections begin in June. As the fringe players continue to make decisions on whether to withdraw, it is time to reevaluate where things stand.

Since the last time a full big board was released, the college basketball season wrapped up and many players agreed to deals which kept them out of the NBA Draft. As the board continues to shorten, new name will emerge as candidates to hear their name called.

Here is an updated look at the Top 75 players who could come off the board in June of 2025 for the NBA Draft. These rankings include those who declared early or ran out of college eligibility, along with those from the professional ranks internationally.

Ranked 1-10

1. Cooper Flagg, Duke

Cooper Flagg has pulled away from the field as the top prospect, leaving no doubt he will go No. 1 overall on draft night. His incredible defensive traits which transcend the position he plays were on display in bursts throughout his time at Duke, and he continued to make strides on the offensive end. Continued growth as a shooter ultimately has him among the top young players in the sport.

2. Dylan Harper, Rutgers

Dylan Harper shows off the kind of traits which are hard to bet against, boasting great size as a lead guard with scoring punch to complement his facilitation. The team’s ups and downs, mixed with injuries at Rutgers kept him from moving into elite prospect conversations but did nothing to dissuade interest. He is the clear second prospect in the draft class.

3. Tre Johnson, Texas

Tre Johnson has been a polarizing prospect throughout the evaluation process, but his combination of size and scoring punch have brought him closer to the top of the board. The ability to continue his upward trajectory as an offensive playmaker, as well as promise he could improve on defense, provide the type of star outcomes worthy of a high pick.

4. VJ Edgecombe, Baylor

VJ Edgecombe comes into the NBA Draft as an intriguing wing prospect, brining great length for his size. Among the best two-way players in the class already, his lack of projection needed should intrigue plenty teams hoping he can keep his baseline value while adding to the flashes he has showed throughout his career of stardom.

Read more on VJ Edgecombe here.

5. Ace Bailey, Rutgers

Ace Bailey has run away with the title of most polarizing prospect in the NBA Draft this season, with a huge gulf in opinions. The shot-making ability is undoubted, but questions about his overall efficiency and ability to play within the construct of most professional schemes leave some worried. While there is a tempting upside, there is also a floor which losers the overall value.

6. Kon Knueppel, Duke

Kon Knueppel added value during his freshman season at Duke, not only by playing the sidekick role to Cooper Flagg, but by dispelling common assumptions about his game. While he is not a top-end athlete, he held up on defense with promise he can bring value on that end. His biggest asset is of course the 3-point shot, but upside getting to the basket moves him up the board.

Read more on Kon Knueppel here.

7. Collin Murray-Boyles, South Carolina

Collin Murray-Boyles has drawn some big comparisons throughout the draft process, and is among the most interesting players to project and predict his value. He immediately enters the league as a versatile and disruptive defender capable of guarding many positions at a high level. The concern is his offensive package, which leaves much to be desired unless he develops a perimeter jumpshot.

Read more on Collin Murray-Boyles here.

8. Kasparas Jakucionis, Illinois

Kasparas Jakucionis brings great size and ability to fill the box score in multiple categories while handling the ball. Turnover concerns paired with a streaky shot have dropped his stock from its highest point, but teams able to use him in on-ball and off-ball reps early in his career will likely get the most out of his skillset.

9. Khaman Maluach, Duke

Khaman Maluach brings intrigue given his size and athletic traits on display at Duke, paired with promise he can stretch the floor. While it has not been on display publicly, his ability to sell teams on pick-and-pop upside could shoot his value up in the final month. Meanwhile, rim protection and rim-running still provide him plenty value to offer.

10. Derick Queen, Maryland

Derik Queen has a wide range depending on the team, which comes as no surprise given his unique skillset. The offensive package is impressive to say the least, with footwork and shot-making ability from the center position. Age – even as a freshman – and the need to build sets around him limit the market. Meanwhile, to convince teams to overhaul things to his benefit, more defense is needed.

Read more on Derik Queen here.

Ranked 11-30

11. Noa Essengue, France

Noa Essengue is an analytics darling with his ability to produce defensively in Europe, while getting high-efficiency looks on offense. Currently best suited around the rim, the ability to develop consistency on the perimeter will be a major key to his growth. Big performances late in the season have him on the rise, building even more hope he can unlock his potential.

Read more on Noa Essengue here.

12. Cedric Coward, Washington State

Cedric Coward appears to be a fast-riser on NBA Draft boards, especially given the lack of college tape this season due to injury. His measurements certainly helped, but his overall game brings the same shooting and defense combination which every team looks for in role players. Whether overlooked or out of sight, he is now in the mix to come off the board early.

Read more on Cedric Coward here.

13. Joan Beringer, France

Joan Beringer is an athletic big who has performed well in Europe this season. He will not be mistaken for a floor-spacing center anytime soon, but has good value as a rim-runner and rebounding force capable of working the pick-and-roll. His stock has a wide range, depending largely on the type of offense interested teams want to run.

Read more on Joan Beringer here.

14. Rasheer Fleming, St. Joseph’s

Rasheer Fleming proved everything he could at the mid-major level, shooting the ball at a high level in a variety of roles while showcasing his ability to play defense. In a league which places big value on two-way wings and stretch forwards, he could quickly enter a rotation, even if he does not boast the potential upside of others.

15. Carter Bryant, Arizona

Carter Bryant is a player who proves that traits matter in draft conversation, along with the ability to fill a role. While he did not star in his freshman season, he delivered what was asked off the bench and showcased a baseline value which many NBA teams value for the position. Upside is also present for one of the youngest wings in class.

16. Nolan Traore, France

Nolan Traore has moved up and down the board over the past year, going from the Top 5 conversation to the lottery fringe after a difficult start in Europe. While he has shown the major ups and concerning downs, promise remains high for what the lead guard could become. Given the amount of time it takes many young guards to adjust to professional competition, his late-season surge should rebuild stock.

Read more on Nolan Traore here.

17. Egor Demin, BYU

Egor Demin enters the NBA Draft as the best passer in the class, combining vision with creativity which at times led to turnovers when it crossed the line. However, the inability to repeat his 3-point success from early into the latter portion of the season forces teams to consider how many ways he can create offense. Given his size, off-ball reps are also an interesting possibility for any interested team.

18. Jeremiah Fears, Oklahoma

Jeremiah Fears built up quite the highlight reel during the early portion of the college season, but struggled in a big way after the calendar turned. In efficiency has plagued his game at times, between missed shots and turnovers. However, between the athletic flashes and his young age, there is plenty promise he can grow into the game and become a force.

Read more on Jeremiah Fears here.

19. Walter Clayton, Florida

Walter Clayton was the late-riser and classic March Madness star who sees a big boost on draft boards, but it was no fluke. The run highlighted the heights of his game, which brings big-time offensive value through 3-point shooting and shot creation. Proving he could stick at point guard was as valuable as anything he showed, finding teammates when needed in big games.

Read more on Walter Clayton here.

20. Danny Wolf, Michigan

Danny Wolf comes to the professional ranks after making an interesting two-big lineup work in college. The success of different jumbo lineups across the NBA could make him a valuable commodity for certain franchises looking to add frontcourt versatility. The ability to shoot and pass from the top of the key give immense offensive value, even if rim protector of guarding in space will never be his strength on defense.

Read more on Danny Wolf here.

21. Nique Clifford, Colorado State

Nique Clifford added value throughout the college basketball season, taking himself from the second-round conversation into the first-round mix with improved shooting. He adds offensive punch to his game which already included solid defensive value and big rebounding for his position, along with come playmaking required for his team.

22. Liam McNeeley, UConn

Liam McNeeley has seen his draft stock fall since the start of the season, in part due to the injury he sustained and the drop in results his team displayed. The clear positive comes with his competitive fire, which was on display in the gulf in results his team showed based on his availability. Inconsistent results in the box score hurt him, however.

23. Jase Richardson, Michigan State

Jase Richardson is a fascinating NBA prospect who does not bring great size, but whose winning impact become undeniable during the college season. A transition to the starting lineup kickstarted the offense and allowed him to unlock more, although the ability to translate into a professional role remains a question.

24. Thomas Sorber, Georgetown

Thomas Sorber raised his NBA stock throughout the college season with his ability to provide efficient offense, particularly showing upside as a pick-and-roll piece at the next level. With some versatility on the table, even if not at the 3-point line, the offense is enough to complement his defensive value. Shot blocking and disruption again fit the professional game well.

25. Hugo Gonzalez, Spain

Hugo Gonzalez has seen his stock slowly slide down throughout the season, due mainly to the extra tape of wings have put forward while he struggles to find minutes in Europe. As a highly-touted youth prospect, it is possible he could unlock all those traits in time, but it is nearly impossible to get a full picture of how he fits right now.

Read more on Hugo Gonzalez here.

26. Asa Newell, Georgia

Asa Newell has the potential to blossom into a valuable frontcourt player, given his unique combination of size and mobility. To maximize his skillset, Newell will need to translate his offensive touch to the 3-point line and stretch the floor. He can then serve as the second big in defensive sets who is able to roam and deter opponents.

Read more on Asa Newell here.

27. Noah Penda, France

Noah Penda promises to enter the NBA after establishing his worth on defense during his European basketball run. While he is known for gambling at times, the body-type and disruption stats speak for themselves on that end. Developing an offensive game with positive value is the next step in cracking into an NBA rotation.

Read more on Noah Penda here.

28. Will Riley, Illinois

Will Riley is a high-powered offensive prospect, who is also one of the youngest players in the class this year. He slowly grew into his role in college, ending his freshman year with offensive firepower worthy of watching. The defense remains a work-in-progress, but he possesses all the physical traits needed to add strength and improve there.

29. Alex Toohey, Australia

Alex Toohey has gone through the NBA Draft process multiple times now, showcasing the clear growth in his game this season. He provides a strong floor to his game, holding up on both ends with solid floor-spacing and off-ball movement helping build his stock as a potential role player in any professional setting.

Read more on Alex Toohey here.

30. Drake Powell, North Carolina

Drake Powell brings some of the best defensive tools in the draft class to the table, projecting as a high-level wing stopper in the NBA. The project he must invest in comes offensively, where he put up solid percentages on low volume as a freshman. Repeating the results on higher output remains a major question mark given the lack of increased role he saw.

Read more on Drake Powell here.

Ranked 31-50

31. Maxime Raynaud, Stanford

Maxime Raynaud has one of the most impressive stories in the NBA Draft, going from walk-on to late-rising prospect at center. He has shown an ability to produce offensively for years and Stanford, providing an interesting backup big option for NBA teams. A strong pre-draft process has further led to excitement about his ability to jump levels.

32. Ben Saraf, Israel

Ben Saraf is a talented offensive player, creating shots for himself throughout the season in Europe. Inefficiency from the perimeter has held him back from truly shooting up draft boards, and questions about his ability to translate high usage into off-ball reps and a limited role present a challenge for evaluators.

Read more on Ben Saraf here.

33. Adou Thiero, Arkansas

Adou Thiero showed major growth on offense this year, showing an ability to get to the rim and begin knocking down 3-pointers. This all adds to his solid defensive base, which provides him with a platform to grow off as a two-way wing. However, limits in his offensive packages remain and restrict his ceiling at the next level.

34. Johni Broome, Auburn

Johni Broome put together a monster season in college basketball, expanding his offensive game to include a much wider range of skills to complement his defense and rebounding strengths. Despite a lack of athletic traits, his defense brings few question marks, giving him a chance to establish himself quickly in a backup big role.

Read more on Johni Broome here.

35. Rocco Zikarsky, Australia

Rocco Zikarsky is one of the tallest prospects in the draft class, and while his wingspan does not stretch far beyond his height, he is still a force as a rim-protector. Injuries over the past year have limited his ability to build an offensive package, but he has high upside and already fills the frame well before getting into the league.

Read more on Rocco Zikarsky here.

36. Tyrese Proctor, Duke

Tyrese Proctor has continued to showcase his skillset at the college level, slowly growing his stock as a versatile backup guard. He has shot the ball at a high level from the 3-point line, getting reps on-ball and off-ball during the last few years. With good size, he also provides versatility on defense, where he holds up well in space.

37. Sion James, Duke

Sion James saw his draft status shoot up last season, even after taking a step back from his previous role. The ability to simplify his game and fill in behind star players – a task he will be asked to do throughout his NBA career – helped teams see exactly what he provides. Solid floor-spacing and wing defense make him a high-floor second-round prospect.

38. Alijah Martin, Florida

Ben Henshall enters the NBA Draft after carving out a role for himself in Australia last season. He is a high-level competitor on both ends, also bringing versatility with on-ball and off-ball guard reps. There is still plenty left to develop on both ends, but the core traits are there to build off while learning his role moving forward.

Read more on Alijah Martin here.

39. Kam Jones, Marquette

Kam Jones made a big leap up draft boards this season, taking over on-ball reps for his team. The ability to work off the dribble and create for others helped bring him into the mix as an NBA prospect given his status as a small guard. While there is versatility given his background, the most valuable path forward is more work as a lead guard.

40. Yanic Konan Niederhauser, Penn State

Yanic Konan Niederhauser saw a massive jump up the board during the pre-draft process, going from fringe entry to real prospect in the mix for selection. After transferring to the top level of college basketball, he did not get the public attention his stats likely deserved given the team struggles to compete with high-level teams.

41. Ryan Kalkbrenner, Creighton

Ryan Kalkbrenner has established himself as one of the top defensive centers in college basketball over the past few seasons, drawing NBA interest in his rim-protection. His flashes of offensive upside have put him in the mix to go from second-round prospect to solid backup option, filling a role which has limited upside but provides value.

42. Bogoljub Markovic, Serbia

Bogoljub Markovic is an interesting offensive prospect, coming in undersized for a center. He offers the ability to stretch the floor on offense, putting up impressive numbers in Europe. The largest question moving forward centers on his ability to hold up defensively at center, without pushing him to forward reps.

Read more on Bogoljub Markovic here.

43. Chaz Lanier, Tennessee

Chaz Lanier made the leap to the top level of college basketball last season, bursting onto the scene with his offensive punch. While his defensive impact is limited, he showed a willingness to compete throughout the year, adding to the value his offensive package provides. There is upside as a bench scorer and a floor as a shooter from the corner.

Read more on Chaz Lanier here.

44. Jamir Watkins, Florida State

Jamir Watkins has plenty traits which place him on the radar of potential NBA wings available in the second round due to a combination of factors. The way Florida State’s season went certainly hurt his stock even with higher offensive output as his other stats largely fell backward.

45. Hansen Yang, China

Hansen Yang is an intriguing project at the center position, offering the passing vision neccisary to facilitate offense from the top of the key. However, questions around his ability to score from the perimeter and provide adequate defense leave him in this range.

46. Lachlan Olbrich, Australia

Lachlan Olbrich comes to the NBA Draft out of Australia, having previous college basketball experience at UC Riverside in 2022-23. Still a developing prospect, he shows the physical tools needed to reach the second-round conversation, even without big production behind him.

47. Javon Small, West Virginia

Javon Small had a breakout season after transferring, taking over a larger role than even he expected for a successful team. He will not be asked to take on the offensive burden again, but projecting what he can do defensively with that extra energy is intriguing even for a small guard.

48. Brice Williams, Nebraska

Brice Williams took on a huge offensive role this season, and continued to produce at the same level of efficiency throughout his career. The ability to hold up on defense, particularly as enough wing option could prove valuable to teams in need.

49. Brooks Barnhizer, Northwestern

Brooks Barnhizer proved to be one of the best perimeter defenders in college basketball over multiple seasons, becoming extremely productive at creating turnovers. While he has a ways to go as a shooter — or offensive prospect period — he did put up points, in addition to the rebounding value he adds on the wing.

50. Ryan Nembhard, Gonzaga

Ryan Nembhard has continued to add value for himself, showing that even as an undersized guard he can facilitate offense and play perimeter defense. Improved 3-point shooting makes him a projectable backup for teams which can overlook the measurements.

Ranked 51-100

51. Max Shulga, VCU

Max Shulga can create value in the NBA by translating his 3-point shooting and defensive value off the ball, something he got few reps doing at the mid-major level. He has been a consistent winner during his time in college basketball and now looks to apply his traits in a new way.

52. Dink Pate, G-League

Dink Pate started his professional career early when he became on of the two-year G-League Ignite prospects left without a clear plan when the program shut down. He again spent the season lacking serious development to his intriguing physical traits while based in Mexico City.

53. Koby Brea, Kentucky (read more)

Koby Brea is likely the best pure shooter in the NBA Draft this year. He has not provided enough either as an offensive creator or defensive force to warrant a rotation spot, but has enough potential to bet on the elite trait.

54. John Tonje, Wisconsin

John Tonje has seen many ups and downs throughout his college career, culminating in a career season at Wisconsin on both ends of the floor. As one of the oldest players in the class, he still has room to grow in several areas to earn rotation minutes.

55. Izan Almansa, Spain (read more)

Izan Almansa made the move to Australia to continue his development this season and has seen some mixed results which keep him on the fringe of the draft boards. He still has plenty upside which comes out in flashes but has shown few long signs he is reaching the potential he previously showed.

56. Grant Nelson, Alabama

Grant Nelson is a player who has gotten onto the fringe of NBA talks multiple times now, and will be in the mix again after concluding his college career. The unique offensive skillset for a tall forward makes him valuable, even if he struggles to consistently turn skill into production.

57. Hunter Sallis, Wake Forest

After some roadbumps to start his college career, Hunter Sallis turned into a volume scorer capable of leading a team throughout the season. However, his ability to scale that skillset leaves him on the fringe of NBA and G-League potential.

58. Eric Dixon, Villanova

Eric Dixon has incredible college pedigree, which starts with his impressive 3-point numbers. The challenge will be finding the spaces where his production can translate to the NBA game, and staying on the floor defensively whether as a small-ball center or power forward.

59. Will Richard, Florida (read more)

Will Richard is coming off a national championship season, which of course raises the stock of everyone involved. Even before that, he turned himself into a valuable prospect on the wing by combining catch-and-shoot output with solid team defense.

60. Chucky Hepburn, Louisville

Chucky Hepburn is among the most disruptive perimeter defenders in the NBA Draft class, giving him a chance to climb into the second round if a team believes that he develop elsewhere. An undersized guard, he must prove his offensive worth to earn a rotation spot.

61. Kobe Sanders, Nevada

Kobe Sanders had a breakout season before transferring to Nevada, then followed it up against a higher level of competition. The well-rounded skillset could become even more intriguing if he develops a 3-point shot over time.

62. Micah Peavy, Georgetown

Micah Peavy took a major leap this season, turning into a leader on both ends of the floor. The combination of age concerns and shooting questions leave him with more to prove before solidifying his NBA future.

63. Tamar Bates, Missouri

Tamar Bates backed up a breakout season in college basketball by performing strong across multiple showcase events this offseason. His combination of size and backcourt versatility matches many former second round picks who have turned into valuable players in recent seasons.

64. Vlad Goldin, Michigan

Even as an interior center who lacks any creation or movement on offense, Vlad Goldin added value when he proved he could play alongside another big. There is real intrigue in his long-term ability to enter a rotation for the right team.

65. Mark Sears, Alabama (read more)

Mark Sears enters the NBA Draft as an undersized guard who relies on his ability to create shots and facilitate the offense. His lack of value in other areas hurt his stock after efficiency numbers dipped from last year.

66. Jaxson Robinson, Kentucky (read more)

Jaxson Robinson brings great size and length to his position, offering upside on defense which has never fully materialized to this point outside of rising steal numbers. The steady increase in his 3-point shooting over time also puts him in the mix.

67. Payton Sandfort, Iowa

Over previous seasons, Payton Sandfort built his stock as a potential floor-spacer on the wing. However, a down season at Iowa paired with his worst shooting percentages left more questions than answers on his value.

68. Amari Williams, Kentucky

Amari Williams provided clear value to Kentucky on both ends of the floor, but does not have the type of versatile play many bigs in his mold provide. Any team interested will benefit from focusing on his strengths when placing him in the rotation.

69. RJ Luis, St. John’s

RJ Luis had the option to withdraw from the NBA Draft while in the transfer portal, but opted to leave college basketball behind after an awkward benching in the NCAA Tournament. His inability to shoot from the perimeter severely limits his long-term upside.

70. Arthur Kaluma, Texas

Arthur Kaluma plays with a certain edge which will have him on the fringe of NBA conversations. He has seen ups and downs on both ends of the floor, but has enough on both ends to interest teams in his long-term fit as a role players who can fill minutes.

71. Kobe Johnson, USC

After transferring between rivals, Kobe Johnson saw a significant dip in his overall production on both ends of the floor. However, the defensive prospect did see a jump in his 3-point percentage to offset some of the concerns.

72. Chase Hunter, Clemson

While he enters the NBA Draft as an undersized guard who is among the oldest players in the class, he has a combination of scoring and facilitation on the ball which places him on the radar. Lifting the play of his teammates is perhaps his greatest asset.

73. Viktor Lahkin, Clemson

If not for injuries, Viktor Lahkin could move much higher on the big board, but he is currently sidelined during the pre-draft process. When healthy, he moves well defensively and showed off a developing perimeter game on offense.

74. Nate Santos, Dayton

Nate Santos shows potential to develop into a stretch forward who sticks on an NBA roster if he can adjust to the increase in competition level quickly and round out his game. They key to unlocking his potential and warranting a draft pick comes with improved defensive instincts.

75. Jalon Moore, Oklahoma

Since transferring to Oklahoma, Jalon Moore has turned into a reliable wing option who shot well from the perimeter and increased his production each season. The exact fit will depend on what team adds him, but there is enough on both ends of the court to take a flyer.

76. Saliou Niang, Italy

Saliou Niang has shown an ability to contribute as a wing player at the professional level while in Europe. He does not currently project to have a high ceiling, but the ability to contribute in a rotation could give teams hope that his floor lands him on an NBA roster.

77. John Pouladikas, Yale

John Pouladikas has been one of college basketball’s most consistent shooters over the past three seasons, maintaining his percentages while taking on an increased role each season at Yale. While his competition level remains a question, his workload will likely decrease.

78. Cameron Matthews, Mississippi State

Cameron Matthews offers little offensive skillset which translates from the college game to the NBA, but he does have high-level defensive instincts. The primary question is whether he can perform well enough on one end of the floor to outweigh his weakness on the other.

79. Mohamed Diawara, France

Mohamed Diawara brings a combination of solid size and baseline traits which provide promise on his potential future. While he is far from a finished product on both ends of the floor his raw tools could draw intrigue from teams looking to build for the future/

80. Keshon Gilbert, Iowa State

Keshon Gilbert became a consistent part of Iowa State’s success on both ends of the floor over the past two seasons. The ability to impact the game across multiple areas makes him an intriguing fit given his history working in a system where he was not the top option.

81. Jahmai Mashack, Tennessee

Jahmai Mashack is a pure defensive prospect, with very little offensive upside to unlock as an off-ball guard. The question is how valuable can defense be, because he brings it at an incredibly high level.

82. Coleman Hawkins, Kansas State

Coleman Hawkins has been a long-time hypothetical prospect given his size and mobility on the defensive end. The offense has not fully come together over his college career, serving as one of the biggest questions on his ability to find an NBA role.

83. Kadary Richmond, St. John’s

Kadary Richmond does not bring the outside shooting which teams would desire from an offense-first guard like him. However, he does excel in his role and could become a project worth developing if a team sees the pathway to a well-rounded game.

84. Hayden Gray, UC-San Diego

While he comes in from the mid-major level, there is perhaps no prospect with better 3-and-D statistics from college basketball last season. The perimeter shot and steal numbers leave the door open him to find a role as an off-ball guard.

85. Jacksen Moni, NDSU

In just one season at the mid-major level, Jacksen Moni shot well from the 3-point line and from the field, leading to big offensive numbers which deliver enough intrigue to follow. However, the lack of defensive impact at his size limits the projection.

86. Andrew Carr, Kentucky

Over his college career, Andrew Carr was an inconsistent 3-point shooter who relies on his offensive game to stick as a power forward. The inability to slot into the center position on defense limits his immediate role at the professional level.

87. Wooga Poplar, Villanova

Wooga Poplar was a high-usage guard throughout his college career, where he saw an increased role each season. The path to translate those numbers relies entirely on the ability to scale production with significantly less touches.

88. Jahmyl Telfort, Butler

Jahmyl Telfort brings a combination of size and skill to the wing position which places him in the mix to prove his skillset further. Solid analytics provide promise that he could add value with better perimeter shooting.

89. Curtis Jones, Iowa State

Curtis Jones easily ranks among the best bench players in college basketball over the past two seasons at Iowa State. Embracing his role as an electric bench scorer led to big numbers, with some defensive value added.

90. Caleb Grill, Missouri

Caleb Grill is a high-level shooter who has proven his ability to knock down big shots throughout his college career off the bench. He showed an impressive level of defensive value while playing in the SEC.

91. Lamont Butler, Kentucky

Lamont Butler has seen success throughout his college basketball career, primarily serving as a defensive anchor on the perimeter. High 3-point shooting percentages this season further leave open the chance he can find a role.

92. Ace Baldwin, Penn State

Ace Baldwin was one of the top perimeter defenders in college basketball throughout his career, but his lack of size limits the ability to translate his most valuable skill. If he could pair a efficient scoring with the facilitation on offense his chance to earn a shot would increase.

93. Tyrese Hunter, Memphis

Tyrese Hunter has played on and off the ball throughout his college career, pairing perimeter defense with a combination of assists and rebounds. His highest 3-point numbers of his career continue an upward trend toward value outside.

94. Nolan Hickman, Gonzaga

Nolan Hickman is an undersized off-ball guard, with some potential to work as a point guard as well. He is a high-level 3-point shooter who adds defensive value for his size, but will ultimately rely on his ability to add ball-handling duties to his plate.

95. Igor Milicic, Tennessee

Igor Milicic benefitted from playing alongside other bigs throughout the season at Tennessee, showing that he can fit in that type of lineup. Paired with his impressive rebounding rates there is potential depending on the scheme fit.

96. Sean Pedulla, Ole Miss

As an undersized guard, Sean Pedulla has the ability to work on or off the ball throughout his college career. Proving that he can stand up as a defensive option on the perimeter could open up the path to NBA minutes.

97. Matthew Cleveland, Miami

Matthew Cleveland has traits worth a look as a wing with size, but was set back in a major way by Miami’s struggles throughout the season. His defensive value dropped this season, even as his offensive numbers rose.

98. Dylan Cardwell, Auburn

Dylan Cardwell worked next to other bigs throughout the season at Auburn, showing that even without much versatility he can fit on the floor. There is not much offensive punch to his game, or projection, so he much up his defensive numbers.

99. Jonathan Pierre, Belmont

Jonathan Pierre is a fascinating wing with size, showing the ability to knock down shots from the perimeter during his college career. Just one year off struggling to product outside the mid-major level there are serious questions on the ability to translate up.

100. Jonas Aidoo, Arkansas

Jonas Aidoo is the type of athletic center who can find a spot as a rim-running option with defensive value. The ability to become more consistent could shift him from an outside prospect to intriguing option in time.
