NBA Draft Withdrawal Deadline Looms
The NBA Draft withdrawal deadline for college basketball players is May 27 at 11:59 p.m. ET, after which those who have not withdrawn will be locked into the draft.
Milan Momcilovic, Allen Graves and Tounde Yessoufou are currently in the transfer portal, and their choices will determine whether they remain eligible for the draft or return to collegiate play.
A return by Koa Peat, Jeremy Fears Jr., Meleek Thomas or Billy Richmond III would bolster the rosters of several national championship contenders, including Kentucky, St. John’s, UCLA, LSU, Louisville, Michigan State, Arizona and Arkansas.
CBS Sports national insiders have analyzed each candidate, highlighting how their decisions could reshape the competitive balance of next season.
As the deadline approaches, coaches and analysts are watching closely to see which programs will gain or lose the most, making this week a pivotal moment for the sport.
