Overview
- Following Friday's 11:59 p.m. ET early-entry deadline, the draft field filled out with a large share of projected lottery picks submitting paperwork.
- BYU’s AJ Dybantsa and North Carolina’s Caleb Wilson declared, while Duke standout Cameron Boozer had not announced his plans.
- Coverage differed on Kansas guard Darryn Peterson, with The Sporting News and USA TODAY listing him as declared as CBS Sports’ tracker still showed no announcement.
- Several players chose to test the waters and keep NCAA eligibility, including Iowa State’s Milan Momcilovic and Santa Clara’s Allen Graves, who can withdraw by May 27.
- Focus now shifts to the May 10 lottery and the May 10–17 combine in Chicago, then to the June 23–24 draft in Brooklyn, where medicals and workouts could shuffle rankings.
