Following the withdrawal of more than 100 NBA draft prospects, NBA teams across the league have had to adjust their big boards. By withdrawing from the draft process early, these players can now return to the collegiate ranks to build further value or complete their studies.

On that note, let's take a look at the potential top 50 draftees once the June 22 draft night gets underway in Chicago.
