There were 108 college players who withdrew from the NBA Draft as the NCAA deadline approached May 31.

Henderson is too good of a prospect to pass up after Wembanyama is off the board, and he showed what he can do in big-time situations when he went head-to-head against the 7-4 French Phenom in Las Vegas last October.
