NCAA Basketball: Top 25 NBA Draft decisions left with a week before deadline

22. Jordan Walsh – Arkansas Razorbacks

2022-23 season stats: 7.1 ppg and 3.9 rpg

Despite not being a huge offensive option, Walsh’s defensive ability and size at 6’7 made him a versatile weapon for Coach Musselman. If he returns, Walsh could be in for a breakout campaign as a sophomore. Arkansas landed plenty of transfers and is reportedly involved with five-star forward prospect Ron Holland but if he opts to go to the G League instead, having this former five-star player would be the next best thing.

21. Blake Hinson – Pittsburgh Panthers

2022-23 season stats: 15.3 ppg and 6.0 rpg

The former Iowa State guard was one of the most impactful transfers in all of NCAA Basketball, leading the Panthers in both scoring and rebounding. After losing four guards, he’s the last key offensive piece left on the team. If he leaves instead of coming back for a 6th season, Pittsburgh would have to scramble again for another lead-scoring threat.

20. Adem Bona – UCLA Bruins

2022-23 season stats: 7.7 ppg and 5.3 rpg

Bona was the Pac-12 Rookie of the Year and grew into a key defensive clog for the Bruins. All five starters are in the NBA Draft process but he’s the most likely to return. UCLA has added a couple of international guards but it’s going to be hard to find a big man with the talent of Bona if he decides to stay. And after Bediako’s recent decision, this former five-star prospect might opt to do the same.
