This upcoming NCAA Basketball season should be accompanied by many players seeing their 2020 NBA draft positioning unpredictably skyrocket. Here is a look at ten players who might see their stock rise.

This past NCAA Basketball season stood witness to numerous unexpected young stars. The likes of Brandon Clarke, Jarrett Culver, Cam Johnson and Jaxson Hayes (among many, many others) were not necessarily thought of as pristine prospects going into last season.

All it took was one solid campaign for the above listed players to establish themselves as top-tier players in the 2019 NBA Draft. Some simply benefited from an increased role on their respective teams, while others completely refined their games for the better.

That is the case every year though; each college basketball season comes with its own batch of surprising rising superstars. It is safe to say that come next June, many players will be mocked much higher than they are currently being projected at.

Predicting those players is a very daunting task, but it is also a very entertaining one; it is fun to try and jump the gun on a player’s potential. With that being said, here are ten players who could potentially hear their names called much higher than currently expected, come the 2020 NBA Draft.
