The Cougars star will be one to one watch during March Madness

March Madness is upon us and with it, the last chance for college basketball players to make an impression on NBA decision-makers before the predraft process for the 2026 NBA Draft.
After four months of regular season action, the race at the top of the class has never been closer. The same "big three" that dominated the discourse coming into the season still sits on top with AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Cameron Boozer all vying for position.
Dybantsa has put up the best individual numbers, yet had questions perpetuate about his ability to drive winning.
Peterson's highs have been arguably the most impressive, but has nonetheless played a season largely defined by availability and durability concerns.
Boozer has been the best player in college basketball, and yet still his perceived lack of upside still has most believing he will fall outside of the top two.
This latest mock draft is based on what I believe NBA teams would do, not necessarily what I would recommend, with the order coming from the probabilities associated with current NBA records.
