The deadline for underclassmen to withdraw from the NBA Draft has come and gone.
Following the deadline, four SEC basketball teams are ranked in CBS Sports’ updated top 25.
The biggest mover of the SEC teams is LSU coming in at No. 25. The Tigers signed 5-star forward Trendon Watford, and they return Skylar Mays, Marlon Taylor and Javonte Smart from last year’s team. All three withdrew from the NBA Draft. The Tigers are certainly a team to keep an eye on this year.
Kentucky was the highest ranked SEC team at No. 3. Auburn (No. 15) and Tennessee (No. 19) were the other two teams ranked.
