Summary
Henri Veesaar, the UNC center who slid to 52nd overall in the 2026 NBA Draft, signed a four-year, $9.3M deal with Atlanta — a steal for the Hawks, but a missed opportunity for max cash. Scouts say he could’ve been a first-rounder next year if he’d stayed in school, where he averaged 17 points and 8.9 rebounds. With a stacked draft, Veesaar gambled on the league — and now the world’s watching to see if he’ll prove his worth or regret the college money he turned down.
