CBS Sports projects Thomas Haugh as top NBA Draft prospect for 2027

Summary

CBS Sports has identified Florida forward Thomas Haugh as a key player in its early 2027 NBA mock draft. After opting to return for his senior season, Haugh is projected to go early in the first round following an impressive junior year where he averaged 17.1 points and 6.1 rebounds. CBS anticipates a less talented draft class due, in part, to NIL opportunities encouraging players like Haugh to stay in school. He is expected to be joined in the draft by teammates Rueben Chinyelu and Alex Condon, while incoming freshman Tyran Stokes is projected as the top pick.
