The withdrawal deadline for the NBA Draft has again come and gone, as players who wish to return to school made their final decisions.. There was some drama late, as 1st-round prospect Hamidou Diallo waited until the last minute to go back to Kentucky, but otherwise, it was fairly uneventful. Arizona guard Rawle Alkins, Texas guard Andrew Jones, and Maryland forward Justin Jackson were the other major withdrawals. This sets our final draft pool, barring any shake-ups from international prospects, such as Isaiah Hartenstein or Arnoldas Kulboka.
With that in mind, Chris Stone and I have decided to update our big board to reflect the changes we saw. Most shake-ups come in the second round, but we did make a few moves up top, with the discovery that O.G. Anunoby may not be ready at the beginning of next season causing the biggest change. We’ll surely update once more before the draft, but as it stands today, here is our ranking of the top 60 prospects.
