The 2026 NBA Draft is just two months away and we likely have the deepest and most talented freshman class in history. While the enrollment group is still taking shape, there is a good idea of ​​who will move forward.

With the start of the NBA playoffs, the lottery odds are also set, but some of the top prospects have yet to declare. The early registration deadline for the NBA Draft is April 24 at 11:59 pm ET. We have a couple of projected top-five players, like North Carolina’s Caleb Wilson and BYU’s AJ Dybantsa, weathering last-minute rushes. Where does this leave others, like Kansas’ Darryn Peterson and Duke’s Cameron Boozer?
Here is a tracker of the best undeclared players. Please note that either player can return to college and maintain their college eligibility. The deadline to withdraw from the NBA Draft is May 27 at 11:59 pm ET. All players ranked within the top 50 of the 2026 NBA Draft rankings, according to CBS Sports.
