After two straight years with draft picks, CU Buffs basketball still boasts NBA potential

This week, Sports Illustrated released an early look at the top 60 players projected to reach the 2019 NBA draft.

Not surprisingly, no Colorado Buffaloes were among the Pac-12 players predicted to reach next year's draft festivities. A total of seven Pac-12 players cracked the list, with incoming freshmen Louis King (Oregon) and Kevin Porter Jr. (USC) topping the league's selections at No. 14 and No. 18, respectively.

Like Porter, Oregon has another incoming freshman boasting NBA heritage in 7-foot-2 Bol Bol, who was listed at No. 21, while UCLA sophomore Kris Wilkes was the league's top returning player to reach the list at No.
