Updates

Former Gonzaga center Filip Petrusev was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round with the No. 50 overall pick.

Petrusev played two seasons at GU before playing professionally in his native Serbia last year.

Former Gonzaga forward Corey Kispert has been picked by the Washington Wizards at No. 15. The selection reunites him with former Zags teammate Rui Hachimura in Washington. The Wizards selected Hachimura with the No. 9 pick of the 2019 draft.

Former Gonzaga guard Jalen Suggs was selected with the fifth pick by the Orlando Magic. He becomes the second-highest draft pick in GU history behind Adam Morrison (No. 3 in 2006). Suggs joins a backcourt that features former UW guard Markelle Fultz. 

Former Zags forward Corey Kispert is expected to be picked early in the first round.

The Toronto Raptors selected forward Scottie Barnes with the No. 4 pick. Former Gonzaga guard Jalen Suggs continues to wait to hear his name called.

As expected, the Detroit Pistons selected guard Cade Cunningham with the No. 1 pick.
