NBA Draft Early Entry Tracker
Williams is leaving Colorado after his freshman season, where he showed off his two-way ability as a silky smooth scorer and elite defender. While often taking on the team's leading backcourt scorer on one end, Williams averaged 11.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists while shooting nearly 60% from the field. Williams is the younger brother of Oklahoma City Thunder starting forward Jalen Williams.
North Carolina G/F Harrison Ingram
Ingram is leaving for the NBA after becoming a key part of the Tar Heels in his lone year at North Carolina, averaging 12.2 points and 8.8 rebounds and helping coach Huebert Davis's squad to a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. He previously averaged 10.5 points per game over two seasons at Stanford before transferring to Chapel Hill last offseason.
Castle scored a career-high 21 points in the Huskies' NCAA Tournament semifinal win over Alabama, and put up 15 points in the national championship game victory over Purdue. The 6-foot-6 guard will be just the second UConn player to enter the draft after his freshman year, joining Andre Drummond, who was selected ninth overall by the Detroit Pistons in 2012.
Karaban averaged 13.3 points and 5.1 rebounds this season, helping UConn to its second straight NCAA title. The 6-foot-8 sophomore has been projected as a possible late first- or second-round pick, but will also retain his college eligibility.
The 6-foot-3 sharpshooting guard is taking his talents to the NBA after one season at Kentucky. Sheppard was named the SEC Freshman of the Year after averaging 12.5 points, 4.5 assists, 4.1 rebounds and shooting 52% from 3-point range. He is projected to go No. 10 overall to the Atlanta Hawks in FOX Sports' Jason McIntyre's 2024 NBA Mock Draft 1.0.
The 7-foot-2 sophomore center was an instrumental piece in the Huskies' championship run this season and is expected to be in the running for the potential No. 1 overall pick. Clingan averaged 15.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game during the NCAA Tournament.

In his lone season at Duke, McCain was the Blue Devils' second leading scorer and top 3-point shooter. The 6-foot-3 guard averaged 14.3 points per game and shot 41% from downtown. McCain also played a key role in helping Duke make an Elite Eight appearance.

Bronny, the son of NBA superstar LeBron James, averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists for USC this past season. The freshman guard has also made the decision to retain his college eligibility by simultaneously entering the transfer portal.
