John Blackwell has withdrawn from the 2026 NBA Draft as an Early Entry Candidate and will transfer from Wisconsin to Duke for his senior season. Previously viewed as a potential late second-round pick, Blackwell aims to enhance his draft stock with a strong performance at Duke following a junior season where he averaged 19.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game. He will help fill the scoring void left by Cameron Boozer and Isaiah Evans, who are entering the NBA.
