NBA Draft 2021: 5 seniors that have helped their draft stock this season

When it comes to the NBA Draft, it is no secret that most of the picks that will be made will be either highly touted freshman, sophomores, or juniors. That does not entirely mean that there will be no college seniors selected, however. In fact, there are a few notable seniors this season that have improved their draft stock through their play on the court increasing the chances they will hear their name called in the 2021 NBA Draft.

Looking back in recent years there have actually been a few players who have spent four seasons in college that have gone on to become very good NBA players. A few recent examples of this include Payton Pritchard, Devonte Graham, and Cameron Johnson who were all outstanding college players, and have gone on to impress so far during their time in the NBA.

While these players weren’t Top 10 picks, these are the types of players that you know you can count on due to their experience. They’ve been in high-pressure situations before at the college level, and you know that their experience will translate to the NBA level. While people who consider them as unknown on the NBA level, we who watch college basketball daily know just how good each of these players really is.

There has been no shortage of exceptional senior talent this season in college basketball, and that is most evident on a few teams ranked inside the Top 10. Exceptional 3-point shooters, experienced defenders, and do-it-all playmakers, these players are the leaders of their teams and are some of the best players in college basketball.

Let’s take a look at five college seniors in particular that have improved their draft stock this season for the upcoming 2021 NBA Draft.
