Several notable prospects took their decision to the wire. What four last minute returnees should we be monitoring?
The deadline to prospects to withdraw from the 2024 NBA draft has come and gone. These are tough decisions that often go down to the wire with a plethora of factors involved in the decision making process. Many prospects decided to take their decisions roughly to the last 24 hours of the deadline. Here are four prospects that did so, electing to return and claim their spot in the 2025 draft.
Already billed for a 3-and-D Plus role at the NBA level, Watkins can further his case as a reliable 3-point shooter to NBA teams while taking another step as a decision maker and playmaker. If a return to FSU is completely out of the question, it’s critical for Watkins to find a collegiate fit that offers a similar on ball role as last season.A consensus top 50 prospect in the 2024 high school class, Dual is in the transfer portal after an up and down first collegiate season at Providence.
Immediately post combine, there was some buzz that Dual might have done enough to earn promise from an NBA team, but ultimately that does not appear to have come into fruition. Dual’s focus now is on finding a school that will allow him to develop and learn from his mistakes as a lead guard. Keep your Dual stock!Hawkins is one of the most talented bigs in the country. His pass-dribble-shoot skill set at the five spot clearly fits the modern game and has long intrigued NBA decision makers.
Finding consistent production and building off his 3-point shooting indicators have been important swing skills in his evaluation that took a significant step last season. Hawkins set career highs in points , 3-point percentage , and 3-point attempts per game while continuing to shine as a passer and defensive playmaker .
After being a key cog for Illinois, I’m looking forward to seeing him in a new situation and adjusting his skillset to it. A big man with his ball skills, playmaking, shooting indicators and defensive tools will always warrant draft consideration.Jam is a scout with nearly a decade of evaluation experience through his time with former NBA scouting and consulting services, EV Hoops and BPA Hoops. From the high school to NBA level, he brings a wealth of knowledge on prospects.
