In its three decades, the Big 12 men’s basketball tournament has been a showcase for some of college basketball’s — and future NBA — top talent. Former event MVPs include such stars like future Hall of Famer Paul Pierce and 16-time All-Star Kevin Durant. With NBA mock drafts as a guide, this Big 12 tournament could be the site for more future pro talent than any before it. According to the big boards, as many as 15-20 draft selections will compete in Kansas City this week. The top two players in the draft are playing here: freshmen A.J. Dybantsa of BYU and Kansas’ Darryn Peterson. The Big 12 has produced three overall No. 1 picks — Oklahoma’s Blake Griffin in 2009, Kansas’ Andrew Wiggins in 2014 and Oklahoma State’s Cade Cunningham in 2021 — in its three-decade history. Who would you draft No. 1 in the NBA Draft this year? Read more of our Big 12 coverage at the link in our bio. 🎥: Alexa Stone/The Star (@lexmadee)
