NBA Draft 2021: The NCAA Tournament is inching closer to the finish and the NBA front is firmly keeping itself updated with prospects.
In just the last few weeks, a number of big names have declared for the NBA Draft well advanced of the declaration deadline, and many more are anticipated in the coming weeks as the season comes to an end.
To no surprise, several of those who have declared are virtual locks to be first-rounders. That includes a trio of talented big men from major programs like Kentucky’s Isaiah Jackson, North Carolina’s Day’Ron Sharpe, and Texas’ Kai Jones.

But others have now thrown their name into the draft springs with them, as the likes of Auburn forward J.T. Thor and brothers Justin and Julian Champagnie have declared for the draft but done so without an agent, leaving open the possibility of a return to college.
