Summary

- Matas Vokietaitis, a seven-foot center, projects as an NBA frontcourt piece.
The Texas Longhorns basketball program is looking towards the 2027 NBA Draft with three promising prospects on its roster. Head coach Sean Miller has built a strong team expected to contend in the SEC.
Freshman Austin Goosby, rated among the nation's top recruits, possesses the athleticism and skill set to make an immediate impact. If he demonstrates consistent perimeter shooting this season, he could emerge as a first-round pick.
Transfer David Punch brings a versatile game from TCU, averaging strong numbers in his sophomore year. His draft potential hinges on improving his three-point accuracy, a key area for development against SEC competition.
Standing at seven feet, Matas Vokietaitis offers a dominant presence in the paint. His impressive scoring and rebounding from his first year with the Longhorns positions him as a strong candidate for an NBA frontcourt role and a potential first-round selection.
