Illinois freshman guard Keaton Wagler – ranked No. 5 in ESPN's Top 100 – has declared for the 2026 NBA draft, his agency ProMondo Sports tells me and @JeremyWoo. Wagler led the 28-9 Fighting Illini to the Final Four for the first time since 2005.

Illinois' Keaton Wagler and David Mirkovic are the first pair of freshman teammates to each have a double-double in the same NCAA tournament game since freshmen became fully eligible in 1972-73 🔥

Yet another Keaton Wagler heater, this time going for 28-5-5 in a road win over #5 Nebraska. What we’re seeing from the once unheralded 18-year-old is not normal.

6-foot-6 lead guard orchestrating the #1 offense in college basketball, drilling 44% of his threes with a 3:1 AST/TO ratio.

Top 5 prospect on our Board.

Keaton Wagler continued to show some major flashes in the Fighting Illini’s win tonight over Northwestern:

22 PTS
5 REBS

Wagler, a 6-6 guard, has turned himself into a potential lottery pick and is having a breakout freshman season. He came into the game averaging 15.7 PPG, 5.2 RPG and 3.8 APG while shooting 46.2% from the field and 41.2% from 3. He’s having a fantastic year and is continuing to get more and more comfortable each game.

Keaton Wagler

At #17

2026 NBA draft

Selfishly, I would love for him to stay another year develop some more strength and become a lottery and All American, but the way he’s playing , he may move into the lottery pick this year

[Illinois Men's Basketball @IlliniMBB]

Not afraid of the B1G stage. 

In his first league game, Keaton drops a career-high 23 points!

[The BoardRoom-ic @ILLBoardRoom]

Nate Ament was the #4 recruit in the country this year

Keaton Wagler completely outplayed him tonight in Nashville
