On April 24th, Arizona Wildcat Freshman Cullipete just declared for the 2026 NBA draft on the last day for early entry. The 6 foot 8, 235 pound forward, put up 14.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per. Game starting all 36 contests in his one and done season. He made noise right away with 30 points in his debut against Florida, the defending champs. Pete hid double figures 29 times, dropped 20 or more 8 times, including a key 20 against Purdue in the Elite 8 to punch. Arizona's ticket to the final four after 25 years. Fans and scouts see him as a first round lock. The second one and done under coach Tommy Lloyd after Carter Bryant last year. From Chandler, Arizona, Pete dominated Perry High with four state titles and snagged four goals with Team USA. The last under Lloyd at the Fiba Under. 19 World Cup. Alleg injuries sidelineed him for three games in February.
But he still cracked the top 10 airs on a freshman with over 500 points scored. Team A's like Braden Berries and Motijas Krivas are also mocked as first rounders. Pete didn't say if he's keeping the door open to return, but the withdrawal deadline is May 27th, so I stay on whether he stays probound. Or suits up again in Tucson.
