We all know great players can be found all around the draft. Outside of the top two (shoutout Dirk Nowitzki), the teens, the late 20s, the second round, Hall of Famers get picked at every spot in the draft. But the highest odds of finding them have come at the top in every single era of basketball.

It’s early in the college basketball season. But already the draft class is feeling even stronger at the top than anticipated. By June, it might be even better given the development that can occur. To put it into perspective, some executives around the NBA say that if Flagg had never reclassified and were instead part of this 2026 group, he probably would be the third pick at best but could go as low as fifth or sixth. That is how special this group could be, so the chance to acquire one of them is why we’re already seeing teams bottom out so hard.
