While the NBA Draft list usually spirals around an even mix of about 100 players each season, experts at 247Sports listed possible draft candidates for each team in the Big 12 Conference.
Twelve of the league’s 16 teams were featured with at least one draftable prospect, with Colorado, Oklahoma State, TCU, and Utah as the four exceptions.
The full list from 247Sports’ Adam Finkelstein includes a total of 29 different Big 12 athletes who could hear their names called during the 2025 NBA Draft.
The group includes Arizona’s Carter Bryant, KJ Lewis, and Caleb Love, Arizona State’s Joson Sanon, Baylor’s VJ Edgecombe, Rob Wright III, and Norchad Omier, BYU’s Egor Demin and Kanon Catchings, UCF’s Moustapha Thiam and Keyshawn Hall, Cincinnati’s Dillon Mitchell and Simas Lukosius, Houston’s LJ Cryer, Milos Uzan, Jojo Tugler, and Terrance Arceneaux, Iowa State’s Curtis Jones and Milan Momcilovic, Kansas’ Flory Bidunga, Dajuan Harris, Hunter Dickinson, and Zeke Mayo, Kansas State’s Coleman Hawkins, Texas Tech’s JT Toppin, Darrion Williams, and Chance McMillian, and West Virginia’s Javon Small and Tucker DeVries.
Each player on the list also received a ranking of how early each could be selected in the draft. 22 of the 29 athletes were graded with second-round evaluations, five athletes earned first-round evaluations, and two talented individuals, VJ Edgecombe and Egor Demin, were listed as potential lottery picks.
While the 2025 NBA Draft is still the better part of four months away, these 29 phenomenal athletes should be ones to keep in mind as potential stars at the next level.
