Dylan Harper has established himself as an elite offensive talent and a virtual lock for the second overall pick despite playing on an underwhelming Rutgers team. His exceptional physical tools at 6’5″ with a solid 215-pound frame and impressive 6’10” wingspan set him apart from other guard prospects.
Tre Johnson enters the draft as perhaps the purest scorer among guard prospects. During his lone season at Texas, he showcased his elite shooting touch. His ability to manufacture buckets has kept him firmly entrenched in top-5 draft discussions despite some inconsistency throughout the season.
VJ Edgecombe has steadily ascended draft boards throughout the season, combining explosive athleticism with developing skill at Baylor. His elite speed and devastating first step allow him to consistently beat defenders off the dribble, producing highlight-reel dunks throughout the season.
Oklahoma’s Jeremiah Fears has generated significant buzz in recent months as one of the youngest prospects in the draft at just 18 years old. Standing 6’4″ with a developing frame, he combines excellent size for the point guard position with exceptional fluidity and creativity with the ball.
Illinois’ Kasparas Jakucionis, at 6’6″, brings exceptional size and basketball IQ to the point guard position. At 18, he offers youth-based upside similar to Fears, though with a different stylistic approach centered on feel, vision, and toughness.
