NBA Draft decisions loom large over college basketball the next two and a half weeks. Several draft hopefuls will descend upon Chicago this week to showcase their skills for NBA executives. The May 27 withdrawal deadline can't come soon enough for teams whose 2026-2027 season could flip upside down if their star player stays in the draft.

Players like Tyler Tanner (Vanderbilt), Meleek Thomas (Arkansas), Malachi Moreno (Kentucky), Koa Peat (Arizona), Ebuka Okorie (Stanford), and Amari Allen (Alabama) could leave massive holes in their teams' rosters if they elect to remain in the draft. Other players like Andrej Stojakovic (Illinois), Jeremy Fears Jr. (Michigan State) and Matt Able (North Carolina) are hoping they can move into the first round discussion with strong combine performances this week.

Then there are players like Milan Momcilovic, Allen Graves and Tounde Yessoufou who are still in the portal and can return to college for a massive payday. All three are currently focused on the draft, but could quickly become the most sought after player in college basketball should they choose to withdraw. It's a massive week for the basketball world with several decisions still left up in the air.
