Zach Edey of the Purdue Boilermakers and Isaiah Collier of the USC Trojans are currently one of the best players in college basketball circuit. And as with their impeccable skills, the fans are eager to know about their NBA draft odds. 

The NCAA gives young stars a stage to showcase their skills and talents to make themselves stand out. As they put on a show with their exceptional skills, they get the opportunity to use this stage to enter professional leagues like the NBA, and that’s exactly what Edey and Collier are doing. 

The Duo’s Draft Prospects

Edey has been making the headlines almost daily with his incredible skills during the Boilermakers matches. He was eligible for the 2023 NBA draft but decided to pull out his name as he wanted to play for the Boilermakers in his senior year. After the ongoing NCAA season is over, the next best thing for Edey will be the NBA.  

With his towering figure and unstoppable skills, Edey is currently averaging 23.7 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game and has led the Boilermakers to eight wins out of the nine matches they have played so far. But, the odds for the NBA take more than just individual records into account and that’s where the USC Trojans star Collier comes in.

With his abilities as a leader and his scoring prowess, he is one of the top prospects in the upcoming NBA draft. Currently, he is averaging 17.3 points, 3 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game and he has led the Trojans to five wins out of the eight matches they have played so far. Although he is just a freshman, Collier still is the No.1 prospect for the NBA draft according to the fans.

As per Kyle Boone of the CBS Sports, Collier is the top prospect because he has a great potential to be the next best thing in the NBA. However, he has to reduce turnovers which currently stands at 5.3 per game.

While the Trojans have already lost three matches of the season so far, Collier’s performance leaves the fans in awe every time. While his scoring and rebounding abilities are great, his ability to carry the team and lead is what makes him the top prospect.
