2027 NBA draft big board: Top 100 prospects ranked

Jeremy Woo's debut 2027 NBA draft big board ranks Kansas freshman Tyran Stokes as the projected No. 1 pick, leading a top 100 prospect list for a class considered weaker than recent years. The rankings feature a mix of college freshmen and international players, with Stefan Joksimovic of Baskonia and BYU's Bruce Branch III rounding out the top three. Older, NBA-ready prospects like Arizona's Motiejus Krivas and Florida's Thomas Haugh are expected to rise due to the class's flat talent curve. The 2027 draft will be the first under new lottery rules designed to curb tanking, increasing unpredictability. Most players on the board are expected to return to college, as programs can now pay top players above first-round pick contract values.
