Indiana is a longshot to have anyone selected in next month’s 2026 NBA Draft.
But two Hoosiers appear in ESPN’s top-100 prospects for the draft, and they are side-by-side.
Jeremy Woo placed Lamar Wilkerson at No. 86 and Tucker DeVries at No. 87 on his 2026 top-100 big board. There are 60 selections in the draft.
Both players are working out for NBA teams, with both competing at this point for spots on summer league rosters and training camp invites. Both players were invited to the 2026 G League combine.
Wilkerson, 24, averaged 20.9 points per game, the highest scoring rate for a Hoosier guard since Eric Gordon (2007-08). He added 3.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.0 steal per outing and finished the season as one of three Hoosiers to start all 32 games. Wilkerson shot 46.3% (227-of-490) from the floor, 37.8% (104-of-275) from the 3-point line, and 88.8% (111-of-125) from the free throw line.
The Ashdown, Ark., native made 104 shots behind the arc during his lone season with the Cream and Crimson, the second most in program history behind only Steve Alford’s total of 107 during the 1986-87 campaign. His 70 made 3-pointers in conference play established a program record. His free throw percentage of 88.8% ranked fourth in Indiana history for players with more than 100 made free throws in a single season.
DeVries, 23, averaged 13.7 points, a team-best 5.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.1 steals in 34.2 minutes per game. He shot 39.7% (144-of-363) from the floor, 33.3% (82-of-246) from the 3-point line, and 85.9% (67-of-78) from the free throw line.
DeVries scored at least 15 points in 14 games, grabbed five or more rebounds in 18 games, handed out five or more assists 10 times, made multiple 3-pointers in 23 contests, and posted a team-high three double-doubles.
DeVries worked out for the Indiana Pacers earlier this week.
