NBA Draft Early Entry Tracker

Michigan State G Jase Richardson

Richardson will enter the draft after a standout freshman season, he told ESPN on Tuesday. A top-20 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Richardson helped Tom Izzo have his best season at Michigan State in a few years, playing a key role in the Spartans’ run to winning the Big Ten regular-season title before reaching the Elite Eight. He averaged 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, earning third-team All-Big Ten honors. Now, he’ll follow in his father’s (Jason Richardson) footsteps.

BYU G Egor Demin

Demin, a potential lottery pick, will declare for the NBA Draft, according to ESPN. A freshman from BYU by way of both Russia and Spain, he helped bring the Cougars all the way to the Sweet 16 as their starting point guard. He averaged 10.6 points, 5.5 assists, and just under 4 rebounds per game while shooting over 41%, but it’s his size – he stands 6-foot-9 – at the position that will have teams intrigued.

Maryland C Derik Queen

Maryland’s freshman phenom will test his stock in the NBA Draft. The 6-foot-10 center announced his intention to enter the 2025 NBA Draft on ESPN’s “SportsCenter” on Saturday morning. Queen averaged 16.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game in 36 games for the Terps last season.

Oklahoma G Jeremiah Fears

Fears is off to the NBA after one season in Norman. This season, the 6-foot-4 guard posted 17.1 points, 4.1 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 30.2 minutes per contest, while shooting 43.4/28.4/85.1. Oklahoma claimed a No. 9 seed in the 2025 NCAA Men’s Tournament before losing to UConn in the first round.

UConn F Liam McNeeley

McNeeley is leaving Storrs for the NBA after his freshman season. The 6-foot-7 forward averaged a team-high 14.5 points, six rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. McNeeley helped UConn, the defending back-to-back national champions, earn a No. 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament before being eliminated in the second round. The Big East Freshman of the Year was projected to be the No. 10 pick in the most recent mock draft from FOX Sports’ John Fanta.

Rutgers G Dylan Harper

Harper is leaving college after his freshman season. At Rutgers, he displayed a three-level scoring punch and ability to initiate plays and facilitate the basketball. His offensive tool bag is about as polished as it gets for a 19-year-old. He averaged 19.4 points and four assists per game, while shooting 48.4% from the field in his lone season for the Scarlet Knights.

While he can still make strides on the defensive side and as a 3-point shooter, Harper could go as high as the second pick in the draft, which is where FOX Sports’ John Fanta had him in his latest NBA mock draft.

St. John’s G RJ Luis Jr.

Luis declared for the draft and entered his name in the NCAA men’s basketball transfer portal after his junior season at St. John’s. He’s a strong defensive wing, who can create for himself in the mid-range. He averaged 18.4 points and 8.2 rebounds per game and won Player of the Year in the Big East conference. He has NBA appeal and could help a contender right away, but his slow development and lack of a 3-point shot may hurt his draft capital.

Oregon C Nate Bittle

Bittle declared for the draft while retaining the option of returning to the Ducks for his final year of eligibility. He had a quiet three seasons before breaking out in 2024-25, when he was handed the role of starting center. He led Oregon with 14.1 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game, while earning Big Ten First Team All-Defense honors. Bittle doesn’t have many separating qualities on the offensive side, but the chops he showed defensively this past season could help his draft case.
