Okay, so I saw this question popping up everywhere: “Will Bacot go to the NBA?” And honestly, I got curious. I mean, the dude’s a beast in college, but the NBA’s a whole different ballgame. So, I decided to do a little digging myself, like a mini-investigation.
First, I started by watching a ton of Bacot’s games. I’m talking hours of footage here, folks. I wanted to see his strengths and weaknesses firsthand, not just read about them. I focused on his footwork, how he moved without the ball, his rebounding, obviously, and how he handled double-teams.

Then, I hit up some NBA draft forums. Let me tell you, those places are wild. Everyone’s got an opinion, and they’re not afraid to share it, haha. But I dug through the noise, looking for consistent comments, things people were saying over and over again about Bacot.
Next, I checked out some mock drafts. Big ones, small ones, I read them all. I wanted to see where the “experts” (and I use that term loosely) were projecting him, if at all.
I also found some articles and tried to find what people were saying.
After all that, I started putting my own thoughts together. It’s tough, man. He dominates the paint, that’s for sure. But the NBA is full of giants, and he is not as explosive or has a very refine shotting * is a pity.
So, will Bacot go to the NBA? After my little deep dive, I’m still not 100% * is not a easy road. But it’s clear he’s got the work ethic. I will keep watching!
