Gonzaga has not had a Sweet 16 appearance or an NBA draft pick in the past two years. This is a change from the previous nine years when Mark Few's program consistently reached the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament and produced 12 NBA selections. The Zags are hoping to end these dry spells next year. NBA analysts who are forecasting next year's draft class already believe GU is in a good position. Davis Fogle and Massamba Diop are being mentioned in way-too-early 2027 mock drafts.
The absence of NBA draft picks and deep NCAA Tournament runs has been a surprise for Gonzaga fans. The program was once known for its consistent success. Mark Few's leadership was instrumental in that success. Now, the focus is on whether Fogle and Diop can lead the team back to prominence. Analysts are optimistic about their potential impact in the upcoming season.
The 2027 NBA draft is still over a year away, but early projections are already being made. Gonzaga's hopes for breaking its current droughts rest on the development and performance of its key players. If Fogle and Diop continue to improve, they could be major contributors to the team's success in the coming season.
