Why Isn’t Anthony Thompson in the No. 1 Pick Conversation?

Ohio State freshman Anthony Thompson is already projected as a potential top-10 pick in the 2027 NBA Draft, but should we be talking about him even higher?

In a wide-open 2027 draft class, Rafael believes Thompson deserves to be mentioned as a legitimate candidate for the No. 1 pick. Tonight on NBA Draft Junkies Live, Rafael and James break down Thompson’s game, his NBA upside, what he still needs to prove at Ohio State and what it would take for him to climb all the way to No. 1. #AnthonyThompson #2027NBADraft #NBADraft #NBADraft2027 #OhioStateBasketball #OhioStateHoops #Buckeyes #GoBucks #NBADraftJunkies #NBADraftProspects #NBAScouting #NBAProspects #CollegeBasketball #BigTenBasketball
