The 2023 NBA draft featured just one college basketball star, Alabama's Brandon Miller, in the first five selections, with three G-League players and one international star (Victor Wembanyama) rounding it out. Is this a concern for college hoops, or just a one year aberration? And one-and-done players were the first eight college stars selected, with Jordan Hawkins finally ending the streak. Will that change in the NIL era?
We also take a look at how college big men were misrepresented in the draft, with Trayce Jackson-Davis falling to 57 and Drew Timme, Oscar Tshiebwe, Adama Sanogo, and Azoulas Tubelis all going undrafted. While not a huge shock, will it result in more players staying in school going forward?
Finally, we discuss NBA draft superlatives, including best fit (Jaime Jaquez with Miami) and future second round All-Star (Jordan Walsh with Boston).
