The SEC has looked like the strongest conference in college basketball and this has shown up with seven first-round selections in our latest mock draft from November.

While this isn’t quite as much of a lock as it was when Victor Wembanyama went No. 1 overall in 2023, there is little doubt that whatever team wins the lottery will select Cooper Flagg as he has maintained pole position early in the season thus far.

The 2024-25 NBA season is more than a quarter of the way through, while college programs are getting closer to the start of conference play. There's a ton of basketball yet to be played, but another draft cycle is underway with a loaded class set to enter the NBA in June.
