Hey all! A little over a month ago, I decided I wanted to put together a Big Board of college NBA prospects- but I didn’t want to limit it to some kind of arbitrary cutoff point. I wanted to try to identify at least *most* of the college players that an NBA team could potentially consider a prospect, at all. I’ve been adding more names than I’ve been dropping each week, taking the approach that I want to cast a wide net while all possibilities still exist, and then start narrowing the list once teams are eliminated from tournament contention and what not. I categorized everybody into 4 categories- “Definite” draft prospects, “Probable” draft prospects, “Borderline” draft prospects, and “Draft Flyers” (unlikely but conceivable). It’s all pretty much opinion, there isn’t much science to any of it. But this is the most recent one, let me know what you think! It’s a pretty deep list right now.

Guys like Daimion Collins and Patrick Baldwin Jr aren’t on here- I’m impressed with Collins’ per minute stats, but I can’t see how an NBA team would be interested in a player who can’t make a college rotation when the player is fully healthy. Most likely prospects for a future draft, IMO. Caleb Houstan has been bouncing all around my categories every week– I imagine NBA franchises asking “what needs does this prospect address?” and I have a hard time coming up with answers for Houstan right now. I think he absolutely can still be a prospect this year, but I feel like something would have to change within his game or within Michigan’s results for that to happen. Elsewise, this just might not be the year for him to do so.

But what do I know, I’m not part of an NBA franchise. The top high school prospects were all really tricky for me to put in here.
Anyways, let me know if you like this and want more! Or if there’s something that’s wrong, or that you don’t like too! I’ve been updating this about every week just for sh*ts and giggles anyways, might as well share it.

Thanks for sharing your big board!! Glad to have some life on this site! Of course, I could debate over a few guys on your board, but nobody will completely agree… I really like yours though! TyTy should be picking up some draft steam, although you have him higher than I do. You have a lot of guys on my fringe pro player list, I didn’t reveal that tier however. Thanks for bringing a few guys to my attention too. I bet you know more than a few scouts… Some of them are great, others not so much.

Thank you!
Cool, you have an awesome list too! I haven’t looked too much into anything outside of NCAA this year yet.
So thanks for bringing quite a few guys to my attention as well!
