The NCAA’s Early Entry deadline for college underclassmen came and went at 11:59 pm on May 30, meaning the pool of available players is nearly final. The draft lottery and combine are over, top prospects have made their decisions and we’re now entering the final stretch of this long, winding process. The draft itself is set for June 21, exactly three weeks away, and as agencies hold Pro Days for their players and teams schedule their final batch of private workouts, the picture continues to clarify.
A handful of notable players took their decisions down to the wire, headlined by Maryland’s Kevin Huerter, who is believed to have obtained a first-round promise, Villanova’s Donte DiVincenzo, viewed as a late first-rounder, and his teammate Omari Spellman, who will likely end up in the early second.
