NBA Draft Basketball Wiretap

Italian center Luigi Suigo has withdrawn as an Early Entry Candidate from the 2026 NBA Draft. Suigo will now enroll and spend next season at Villanova.

The 7-foot-3 center played for KK Mega Bemax in Serbia last season. In 26 games, Suigo averaged 7.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and a block in 18.4 minutes per game.

Most mock drafts had Suigo rated as a late first-round pick. The hope is after a strong season at Villanova that the 19-year-old center will improve his stock for the 2027 NBA Draft.

Baylor guard Tounde Yessoufou has withdrawn from the NBA Draft and committed to St. John's for next season, sources told Shams Charania of ESPN.

Yessoufou was viewed as a potential first-round pick.

The former McDonald's All-American averaged 17.8 points and 5.9 rebounds as a freshman last year.
