Only players that are averaging at least 4 points per game are listed. I have included underclassmen that are likely to leave early...best guesses being Trimble and Swanigan.

WI - Koenig, Hayes, Showalter and Brown
MD - Dodd and Trimble (Jr.)
PU - Swanigan (Jr.)
NW - Lumpkin and Taphorn
MSU - Harris and Ellis III
Iowa - Jok
IN - None
MN - Springs
MI - Walton, Irvin, Robinson and Donnal
OSU - Loving
PSU - None
NE - Webster
IL - Hill, Morgan, Abrams and Thorne
RUT - Gettys
 
Anunoby is a question mark now. According to ESPN:

Anunoby underwent knee surgery last Tuesday and will miss the remainder of the season. NBA teams are still trying to discern the exact nature of the injury and what his rehab timetable will be.

Regardless, most teams still see him as a potential top-20 pick, even if he can't play his rookie season in the NBA. His combination of raw strength, power and the ability to stretch the floor make him an elite 3-and-D-type prospect. The Thunder have been searching for a long-term wing solution. If they're patient, Anunoby should deliver.
 
I think after Trimble gets some evaluation from NBA scouts he will come back for his senior year. Quite frankly I just don't think he has what it takes to make it in the NBA.

Other underclassmen that could possibly go pro (not previously mentioned):

-Justin Jackson (Maryland)
-Happ (UW) I don't think he has an NBA game, but there are mock drafts out there with him going 1st round
-Ward (MSU)
 
I think Trimble will come back...and they could be a Final Four contender. Happ won't go pro. Big Ten is going to be very good. Iowa is peaking when the league is tough, and rebuilding when others are rebuilding or struggling.

Seems to happen that way in football too.
 
I can't wait for the big 10 to be awesome again in 2 and 3 years so we can not win the conference by 1 game.
 
Trimble is gone...with Dan Dakich as your official spokesperson...NBA teams will be drooling over him. After all, everyone knows Dakich carries a lot of weight with NBA GM's. Get off your knees Dan...Melo is finished now.

Just wanted to bump this one. Iowa could be better next year but have a worse B1G record. Could be a very tough year to win games

The main thing is don't lose more than 2 non conference games and don't play 300 rpi teams. It is definitely possible to be better with a worse record. But it's also possible to be better with a better record.
 
There are some changes as of today. Trimble and Thompson are officially NBA bound. Morrow is transferring. Happ's and Bridges' draft stock are on the rise so I added them. Sanders (RUT) is entering the draft but not hiring an agent...think he will return.

WI - Koenig, Hayes, Showalter, Brown and Happ (So.)
MD - Dodd and Trimble (Jr.)
PU - Swanigan (Jr.)
NW - Lumpkin and Taphorn
MSU - Harris, Ellis III and Bridges (Fr.)
Iowa - Jok
IN - None
MN - Springs
MI - Walton, Irvin, Robinson and Donnal
OSU - Loving and Thompson (Jr.)
PSU - None
NE - Webster and Morrow (So.)
IL - Hill, Morgan, Abrams and Thorne
RUT - Gettys

PSU has three transfers. Only one meaningful.

Purdue loses Spike.

I don't think Happ will go pro.
