The Arkansas basketball program shined brightly at the NBA last week with three players having their names called, two in the first round.
Next year could have the same results.
Trevon Brazile has been labeled as a second-round pick by basketball pundits ESPN. Brazile could have jumped to the NBA but decided to return back to Fayetteville.
Brazile could have likely been a first-rounder in this year’s draft if it wasn’t for a season-ending ACL injury. Other than ESPN, other mock drafts have Brazile going in the first round.
NBA Draft Room projects the Cleveland Cavaliers to select the redshirt sophomore at No. 25 in the first round. NBADraft.net predicts Brazile will be drafted by the Philadelphia team at No. 28.
Former ESPN analyst, Jeff Goodman, has listed Brazile as a potential lottery pick for next year.
Most Recently, Krysten Peek of Yahoo Sports ranked Brazile as the No. 15 prospect in the 2024 draft class, providing a positive evaluation.
No matter what the writers’ project, Brazile has to show out on the court to impress the GMs and scouts. He will be the top player on the floor, and to prove to the folks at Bristol he is much better than a second-rounder, he’ll need a big season.
