71 players have officially declared for the 2026 NBA Draft. A lot of them are also transferring. I did not include those players in this list. This list is guys who I am taking seriously for NBA Mock Draft purposes. Several will return to school, and some of the “declare and transfer” guys might decide to stay in the draft, but this is the list I feel comfortable with. One thing we know is, NIL has had a huge role in the depth of this draft class. The second round will be mostly seniors.
I will continue to update this list as player withdraw.
