Ebuka Okorie, a standout freshman guard for Stanford University, announced his decision to declare for the 2026 NBA Draft via Instagram. During his freshman season, Okorie averaged 23.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.6 assists, earning an Associated Press All-American honorable mention. He led the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) in scoring and set a record for the highest scoring average by a freshman in ACC history, surpassing R.J. Barrett's previous mark of 22.6 points per game. Okorie also made history by registering eight 30-point performances, the most by a freshman in the ACC. With 719 points in total, he is just 16 points shy of the all-time scoring record at Stanford. His ability to score from various positions on the court has made him a projected first-round pick in a highly talented draft class that includes players like Darius Acuff Jr. and Cameron Boozer.
