Henri Veesaar, Isaiah Evans highlight top prospects still available in NBA Draft
Summary

Day 1 of the 2026 NBA Draft concluded with no major surprises among the top picks. The Washington Wizards selected AJ Dybantsa first overall, and the Phoenix Suns picked Koa Peat at No. 30. Several high-profile players, including North Carolina's Henri Veesaar and Duke's Isaiah Evans, were unexpectedly not chosen in the first round. Veesaar and Evans, both ranked in the top 30, opted to enter the draft rather than return to college. They are anticipated to be selected early in the second round of the draft, which resumes today.
