Louisville freshman Obinna Ekezie Jr. delivered one of the standout performances of the college basketball exhibition slate, posting 16 PTS, 8 REB, and 5 BLK in just 19 minutes off the bench in the Cardinals’ 89-83 road win over Kansas. The 7’2” Nigerian big man knocked down 4-of-6 attempts from beyond the arc and blocked projected 2027 No. 1 pick contender Tyran Stokes three times. Ekezie’s combination of perimeter shooting touch and physical tools was on full display. His massive 9’4” standing reach allows him to cover ground, challenge shots, and protect the rim. After reclassifying to join Pat Kelsey’s Cardinals a year early, the 18-year-old is now eligible for the 2027 NBA Draft and has firmly entered the first-round conversation, with legitimate lottery upside.

Braylon Mullins didn't play in UConn's exhibition at Michigan State last night, but I got a good look at the projected lottery pick's pregame shooting regimen. Such a pure stroke. Beautiful mechanics, an effortless release, and incredibly soft touch. His frame looks to be coming along nicely, too, as he works his way back to full health and continues to develop physically. With his positional size, balance, footwork, and ability to make shots off the catch, on the move, and off the dribble, Mullins has the makings of a potentially elite NBA shooter as his game continues to mature.

Joaquim Boumtje-Boumtje is making a strong introduction to the college basketball world, scoring 19 points against Belmont before another promising showing in Duke's exhibition rout of Tennessee. Still seven months shy of his 18th birthday, the 7-footer displays skill and feel beyond his years, showcasing a smooth perimeter stroke, unselfish passing instincts, and comfort handling the ball in the open floor. At 250 pounds with a 9'5" standing reach, Boumtje-Boumtje also brings imposing physical dimensions and a developing interior presence as a rebounder and shot-blocker. It's easy to see why NBA scouts are so enamored with his long-term upside, with two seasons under John Scheyer at Duke still ahead of him before a potential run at the No. 1 pick in the 2028 NBA Draft.

Projected 2027 top pick Tyran Stokes showcased his immense upside in Kansas’ exhibition win over Pittsburg State. 14 PTS, 4 REB, 2 AST in 17 MIN. A force of nature athletically, but his passing instincts and body control set him apart. Bigger test tonight vs. Louisville.

Made the trip to East Lansing for tonight’s Michigan State-UConn exhibition. Looking forward to getting a live look at UConn’s Na’jai Hines, who was among the nation’s top shot-blockers as a freshman at Seton Hall last season. Poised for a sophomore leap with the Huskies.

Impressive college exhibition debut for Illinois freshman Quentin Coleman. 14 PTS, 7 REB, 8 AST vs. Cincinnati, including 10 straight points down the stretch. The 6’4” guard played at his own pace, showed promising pick-and-roll feel and took over when it mattered most.

Michael Ružić has come a long way since testing the 2025 NBA Draft waters. Now at LSU after three ACB/EuroCup seasons, the skilled, high-IQ 7-footer is a walking double-double in exhibitions. 15 PTS, 13 REB, 4 BLK against UCF. Sharp two-way instincts and athletic bloodlines.

Momo Faye made his presence felt on both ends in EuroLeague action against Virtus Bologna. 10 PTS (5/6 FG), 7 REB, 3 BLK, 3 AST, putting his motor, mobility and 7'5" wingspan on full display. After an NCAA flirtation, the Senegalese big is auto-eligible for the 2027 NBA Draft.

18-year-old Frenchman Hugo Yimga-Moukouri dropped 13 points and 6 boards in Nanterre’s 28-point dismantling of defending BCL champs Rytas Vilnius. The 6’8” forward flashed scoring instincts, physicality, and defensive engagement against grown pros. Potential 1st-round pick.

NEWS: Jorge Diaz-Graham has agreed to an Exhibit-10 contract with the Dallas Mavericks, sources tell DraftExpress. The skillful 6’10” Canary Islander was the first pick of the G League International Draft and finished NBA Summer League on a high note with two double-doubles.
