Hannes Steinbach invited to 2026 NBA Draft green room in Brooklyn

Summary

Hannes Steinbach, a former Washington Huskies standout, will be among the 24 players in the green room for the 2026 NBA draft scheduled for June 23 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The 6-foot-11 forward, who dominated the Big Ten in his only season with the Huskies, averaged 18.5 points and 11.8 rebounds. Steinbach, a likely late lottery pick, set a school record with 22 double-doubles during the season. He is the first ex-Husky to be invited to the green room since Markelle Fultz in 2017. Steinbach expressed confidence in his shooting and playmaking abilities, which he hopes will impact his draft position.
