6) Keaton Wagler, PG/SG, Illinois

Freshman | Age: 19.4 | 6’6.25” / 6’6.25” | 188 lbs | Comp: Methodical Tyrese Haliburton | Aquarius

Keaton Wagler is not only playing Illinois into the Final Four, but he’s also putting himself into top-4 prospect talks too, behind just Peterson, Boozer, and Dybantsa

I think Wagler firmly belongs near the top of the tier that includes Wilson & Flemings pic.twitter.com/osMU0XuDA6

10) Hannes Steinbach, PF/C, Washington

Freshman | Age: 20.1 | 6’11'.5” / 7’2.25” | 215 lbs | Comp: Less Flashy Alparen Sengun | Taurus

These are some of Hannes Steinbach’s best buckets imo

He’s really efficient, positions himself well, uses his body well, & has good speed/power with the ball already

(Also has clear 3pt shooting upside)

He’s got so much room for growth, especially developing his skillset… pic.twitter.com/QEI3OMU8Bs

19) Karim Lopez, SF/PF, Mexico

International | Age: 19.2 | 6’9.5” / 6’11.5” | 222 lbs | Comp: Deni Avdija lite | Aries

Karim Lopez is a potential lottery pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. 📈

At 6'9", 225 lbs with a plus wingspan, he moves like a wing but plays with a big's physicality.

What stands out most? His IQ. He reads the game before it happens — smart off-ball cuts, timely passes on ball, and… pic.twitter.com/b1xmTlD8EG

23) Isaiah Evans SG/SF, Duke

Sophmore | Age: 20.5 | 6’6.75” / 6’8.75"” | 186 lbs | Comp: Brandon Ingram lite | Sagittarius

Isaiah Evans is exactly what contenders are looking for. The shot making and floor spacing jump out obviously, but the defensive upside is just as intriguing. Long, disruptive arms, a pesky competitive nature, and a mentality teams need.

Added strength is needed for NBA… pic.twitter.com/36O0ex66BQ

Baba Miller is flying up draft boards after a great combine. He is a freak athlete that could improve any team's rebounding and transition game.
