Tosan Evbuomwan NBA pre-draft timeline: what the web is saying

By on June 22, 2023
Tosan Evbuomwan NBA Draft 2023

Who would’ve thought it would be just a year since our last NBA Pre-Draft timeline, as Tosan Evbuomwan looks to follow in the footsteps of Jeremy Sochan to get drafted.

It is no guaranteed thing; Evbuomwan is projected as a late second round pick or undrafted by most draft experts. Fellow Brit Quinn Ellis was looking like he would be in with Tosan, but withdrew after a strong showing at adidas Eurocamp.

Evbuomwan, a former Newcastle Eagle, was named unanimous Ivy League Player of the Year in 2022 and had one of year of college eligibility remaining but has chosen to opt to turn pro instead.

Evbuomwan’s versatile dominance captivated the country while taking the 15th-seeded Tigers to the Sweet 16, as he averaged averaging 18 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists over five elimination games in the post-season with the Tigers.

The 6’8″ point forward is hoping to become just the second Ivy League player drafted since 1984 – joining the London Lions’ Miye Oni, and would become the first player with a British passport drafted since Ryan Richards in 2010.

The draft is set to happen Thursday June 22 in Brooklyn

Stay updated with his how journey to the NBA is unfolding with our pre-draft timeline:

Scout No. 2: “Kid from Princeton has played well today. I didn’t see him during the year so I want to watch again. But right now I think he’s a G League guy but not a draft guy.”

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
