Kentucky’s fast rising star makes it to Top 50 on NBA’s draft big board

The last day to drop out of the 2025 NBA draft has passed, and many players have chosen to return to school.

Now that those decisions have been made, Jonathan Givony of ESPN has posted a new list of the Top 100 players available for the NBA draft.
Some Kentucky Wildcats are on this list. One or two of the Wildcats might be picked up in the second round, but it doesn’t look like any will be picked up in the first round.

The most likely pick is Koby Brea, a guard who can shoot well and has been picked late in the second round by most fake drafts.

Givony has changed his ranks, and Brea is still the best Wildcat. She has also moved up into the top 50. There are five Kentucky Wildcats in the top 100. This is the first of them. Take a look at how each one did.
