Jericho Sims, Matthew Hurt, McKinley Wright and others round out another strong list.
Jalen Suggs
College: Gonzaga
High school: Minnehaha Academy
Draft projection: Top five/lottery
Comment: As a freshman, the 6-4 point guard gave the Zags a chance to play for an undefeated season after a magical buzzer-beater in the Final Four semifinals, so he'll look to bring the late-game heroics to the next level.
Matthew Hurt
College: Duke
High school: Rochester John Marshall
Draft projection: Second round/undrafted
Comment: The 6-9 forward returned for his sophomore year to lead the Blue Devils in scoring and earn All-ACC honors with 18.3 points per game. He also added strength and weight (230 pounds).
Jericho Sims
College: Texas
High school: Cristo Rey Jesuit
Draft projection: Second round/undrafted
Comment: Not many players helped themselves more in the NBA combine than the 6-10 Minneapolis native who played well in scrimmages and tested (44.5-inch max vertical) and measured (7-3.5 wingspan) off the charts in Chicago.
McKinley Wright
College: Colorado
High school: Champlin Park
Draft projection: Second round/undrafted
Comment: Small in stature (measured under 6 feet without shoes), but Wright showed up big at the combine with his defense and facilitating and leadership skills.
Dawson Garcia
College: Marquette
High school: Prior Lake
Draft projection: Undrafted
Comment: The 6-11 Garcia made scouts take a hard look at him after leading the NBA G League Elite Camp in scoring, but he opted to enter the transfer portal last week to keep his options open for college.
Steffon Mitchell
College: Boston College
High school: Shakopee
Draft projection: Undrafted
Comment: Early entrant into the NBA draft, but Mitchell hasn't been as active as his fellow Minnesotans in working out for teams. He's considering returning to college with San Diego State or the Gophers.
The versatile guard will be in coach Chris Finch’s rotation as he hopes to help his new team make a playoff run.
