Analyzing The 9 International Draft Prospects Remaining in the 2026 NBA Draft, and Where They Will Be Selected

Malique Lewis

Malique Lewis, who withdrew as an early entrant last year, is expected to go undrafted this year. The 21-year-old, native of Trinidad and Tobago, could get a summer league deal and is a potential two-way candidate. He played the last two seasons in Australia with South East Melbourne.

Lewis, who took a step in his development in his second year in Australia, averaged 7.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.1 steals this past season. He knocked down 1.2 threes with shooting splits of 45.2/37.5/82.6. While Lewis scored in double figures just nine of his 31 games, he did have a strong Eurocamp recently.

Lewis is an athletic 6-8 forward with good length. Known for his high motor and defensive versatility, Lewis showed real feel as a connector and secondary handler during the Eurocamp. He cuts well and thrives in transition. However, his lack of self-creation is an issue.  Josh Okogie, Nassir Little, and Jae’Sean Tate are comps.

Reynan dos Santos

Reynan dos Santos doesn’t project to be drafted this year. Dos Santos began his career in Brazil and moved to the G-League with the  Mexico City Capitanes in 2025-26. The 22-year-old averaged 10.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 20 games this season. He drained 1.1 threes a game with shooting splits of 46.6/37.7/78.6. Additionally, he scored in double figures 10 times, topping the 20-point mark twice.

Dos Santos is an aggressive two-guard whose best attribute is his floor-spacing ability. Dos Santos, who has deep range and a quick release, made at least one triple in 15 games with five multiple three-point contests this past season. However, he doesn’t have great touch around the rim and needs to add strength.

Dos Santos could earn a two-way contract with a strong performance in Summer League or training camp. His best comps are Gabe Vincent and Raul Neto.

Tobias Jensen

Tobias Jensen is expected to go undrafted. Jensen, a native of Denmark, struggled to shoot the ball with Ratio Ulm, despite being named the 2026 EuroCup Rising Star. The 22-year-old averaged 9.7 points, 3.9 assists, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in 56 games this past season. He knocked down 1.8 threes with shooting splits of 38.8/35.8/77.2.

Noam Yaacov

Noam Yaacov figures to be a late second-round draft pick at best, with a chance he goes undrafted. The 21-year-old had a massive season for  Belgium club Telenet BC Oostende, averaging 17.2 points, 6.0 assists, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.1 steals. He connected on 1.7 threes with shooting splits of 45.4/37.0/77.2.

Yaacov is a crafty, high-IQ pick‑and‑roll guard who competes on the defensive end. Yaacov loves to get downhill and is a foul merchant when he gets into the lane. However, his size, athleticism, and strength are real question marks. Regardless of getting drafted, Yaacov could head to Utah to play for the Utes this fall. Goran Dragic and McConnell are his best comps.
