Several of college basketball’s best teams face off today in what is sure to be a loaded Thanksgiving Day slate.

Here are some of the top NBA Draft prospects to look for if you’ll be tuned in to college basketball today:

Isaiah Collier, USC

Isaiah Collier could very well be the top basketball prospect in college this year, averaging 21.0 points, 3.8 assists. 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals as a 19-year-old freshman.

Today, he’ll take on Seton Hall at 4:30 p.m. CT has the USC Trojan’s schedule continue to ramp up to what will surely be competitive Pac-12 play.

If Collier can continue his dynamic offense while improving as a passer and defender, he could be the top pick in 2024.

Trey Alexander, Creighton

Creighton’s Trey Alexander has long been on draft radars as a potential NBA-er. But so far, his junior campaign has people wondering if he isn’t one of the top prospects in the world.

Through five games, the 6-foot-4 guard is averaging 18.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 52% overall and 37% from beyond the arc.

On Thursday, he’ll get to continue his hot start against Colorado State at 3 p.m. CT.

Arizona Versus Michigan State

Third-ranked Arizona takes on a sliding Michigan State team today in what should have plenty of potential NBA draftees.

Kylan Boswell leads the way for the Wildcats in that department, averaging 13.8 points and 4.0 rebounds and assists apiece through five games.

MSU has plenty of their own in freshmen Coen Carr and Xavier Booker, as well as senior A.J. Hoggard, among others potentially.

The two teams face off at 3 p.m. CT.
