We're still closer on the calendar to the 2021 NBA Draft than we are to the 2022 NBA Draft, but it's never too soon to peek ahead. So with the college hoops season a week away, we're taking advantage of the milestone with a first look at our NBA Draft prospect rankings for the current cycle. Our top 30 features two former five-star freshmen at the top led by Duke forward Paolo Banchero in the No. 1 spot and Gonzaga big man Chet Holmgren at No. 2. Banchero is one of four Duke newbies to make our rankings and one of two -- along with A.J. Griffin -- to rank in our top 10.
