2026 NBA Draft Decision Tracker: Who has Declared for this Year's Class?

The 2025-26 NCAA basketball season has come to an end.

After an exciting campaign that featured a number of strong teams, the Michigan Wolverines came away with the title, finishing off an impressive run through March Madness.

With the campaign now over, the transfer portal is officially open, and more than 1,000 players have already announced their entry. Additionally, a number of prospects have declared for the NBA Draft while entering the transfer portal, maintaining collegiate eligibility.

The date to withdraw from the NBA Draft and return to college is May 27, meaning players can participate in the NBA Combine and receive feedback from NBA teams before making their decision.

A handful of big names have already announced that they will exercise the aforementioned option, with a few others declaring for the draft outright.

Prospects can make significant NIL money in college and have a chance to be picked higher in the 2027 draft, which is believed to be less talented than this year's group.

This tracker will be updated as more players make their decisions public.
