3. Ohio State

Another team to get good news from the NBA Draft withdrawal deadline, big man Kaleb Wesson returns to Columbus and is poised for a Big Ten Player of the Year type season.

The Buckeyes lose two important backcourt pieces including starting point guard CJ Jackson, to go along with Keyshawn Woods, but look to the future with sophomore guards Luther Muhammad and Duane Washington Jr., both of whom averaged over 7.0 points per game as a freshman.

Adding to the talent on their roster, Chris Holtman has the top ranked recruiting class in the Big Ten with three top-50 prospects. DJ Carton looks to be the point guard of the future as a playmaker for the uber talented roster around him.

EJ Liddell and Alonzo Gaffney are two forwards who will fit in nicely with the Wesson brothers in the front court for Ohio State.
