Alex Toohey, sits at number 36 on ESPN's 'big board', after his strong performances at the Combine last month.

With the NBA Draft Combine in the books and the big day drawing near, ESPN and Jonathan Givony have released their latest Top 100 big board, with a lot of movement since their previous edition.

As some notable prospects have withdrawn their name from this year’s draft, the deadline for international players is June 15 to make a decision, with many expecting more to pull their name out.

Sydney Kings’ Next Star, Alex Toohey, sits at 36 on the board after his strong performances at the Combine last month. Toohey continues to show NBA eyes how valuable his versatility and two-way play can be, using his size and shooting to continue to push towards a potential late first-round pick.

18-year-old big man Rocco Zikarsky, who is the tallest prospect in this draft after measuring in at 7'3” at the Combine, sits at pick 41 on the big board. The Bullets’ teenage star had a strong week at the Combine and has reportedly put on nearly 14 kilograms since prior to last NBL season.

Illawarra Hawks champion Lachlan Olbrich was arguably the biggest standout of the last month, with his stellar play at the G League Elite Camp that led to an invite to the Combine. He continued his impressive play in the scrimmages and finds himself at 52 on Givony’s board, but is one to watch over the next few weeks.

Just missing out on the top 60 picks are Ben Henshall (64), Malique Lewis (67) and Izan Almansa (69), who are all looking to impress teams during workouts in the coming weeks.
