Lendeborg, a two-time AAC Defensive Player of the Year, landed at No. 1 on Hoops HQ’s ranking of the top transfers. The do-it-all forward averaged 17.7 points, 11.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.7 steals last season for UAB. His decision to withdraw from the Draft came as somewhat of a surprise, considering he was widely projected to be a first round pick (he was slotted at No. 28 in Hoops HQ’s latest mock).

Only 106 players declared early for the 2025 NBA Draft -- the fewest since 2015, when just 91 elected to forgo their remaining eligibility to turn pro.
