Hannes Steinbach - Steinbach brought his name into the 2026 NBA draft discussion with his strong play and helping lead Germany to a silver medal at the U19 World Cup. He plays like more of a traditional style big man with his back to the basket and giving defenses trouble with foot work and patience in the post. He will be playing for Washington this collegiate season where they will feature him in a half court style offense and let him feature his inside game and developing scoring versatility. 

Dash Daniels - Daniels seems to be trending down as of late and his possible landing spots in mocks and big boards is becoming a wide range. As of right now Daniels resembles his older brother, Dyson, when it comes to being a defensive menace, and his offense is a real work in progress. He looked to have struggled in the U19 World Cup with separation and on balance looks. If his offense comes around and he holds onto being one of the best defenders in the class, he can look to move back up boards as one of the youngest prospects in the 2026 class.  

Jasper Johnson - Johnson could enter the one-and-done conversation and currently is sitting just outside the top 30. He has a strong shotmaking ability and has nice touch in and around the paint. Him being at 175 for a scoring guard and how he currently looks as a playmaker is what makes scouts question the one-and-done potential. He will be sharing the Kentucky backcourt with 2 junior transfers, but whether he is a 2026 or 2027 draftee, he confident shooting and instant offense is sure to grab scouts attention.
