The Athletic's Sam Vecenie ranked Northwestern star forward Nick Martinelli No. 76 on his list of top 100 NBA Draft prospects. There are only 60 picks in the NBA Draft, but Brooks Barnhizer was ranked similarly before getting drafted No. 44 overall by the Oklahoma City Thunder last summer.

Martinelli is leading the Big Ten in scoring, averaging 23.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game on 59.1% shooting, 51.4% from deep and 78.6% from the free throw line.

There's a lot to praise about the top three, but in total, this looks like one of the best draft classes of the last decade.
