2019 NBA Draft Big Board 2.0: The return of college basketball

College basketball starts today. Here’s an early look at the 2019 NBA Draft picture.

While the Philadelphia 76ers‘ season is going strong, tonight marks the beginning of the 2018-19 college basketball season. There are several exciting games to begin the campaign, starting with Michigan State vs. Kansas at 7 PM E.T. and Duke vs. Kentucky at 9:30 PM E.T. tonight.

That will give us an early taste of several elite prospects, along with over 50 other games on the Division I schedule. And that’s just on Tuesday. While the NBA has a better product, college basketball brings action and consequential games on a regular basis.

It’s still early, so more names will join and this board will grow as the season progresses. We will have an evolving top 60, if not a top 100, once the NBA Draft hits. You will also get regular big board and mock draft installments on a monthly basis here at TSS.

It’s also worth remembering that the Sixers still have a chance at the No. 1 pick, assuming the Kings begin losing at some point. There’s a good chance the pick ends up going to Boston (yikes), but either way, the Sixers will have significant ties to the draft all season, whether it’s the Kings pick or their own.

Here’s your initial top 30.
