Intends to enter and stay in draft Veesaar intends to enter and stay in the 2026 NBA Draft, according to Matt Norlander of CBS Sports.
Impact The 2026 NBA Draft marks Veesaar's last chance to turn pro by choice, as he has only one year of collegiate eligibility remaining. Considering the junior's eligibility and 2025-26 season, in which he broke out, him going pro should not come off as such a surprise. Veesaar's 31 games and starts saw him average 17.0 points and 8.7 rebounds (6.5 defensive) for the Tar Heels. The seven-footer proved he can score and rebound at the collegiate level, though whether or not he can replicate his college skill set's bread and butter remains to be seen. In the later weeks, Veesaar will look to make a push towards a draft selection, and there is at least some potential that he can be taken in the first round.

Posts strong double-double Veesaar had 26 points (9-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 42 minutes during Thursday's 82-78 OT loss to VCU.
Impact Veesaar has been forced to embrace a bigger role on offense without Caleb Wilson (finger), and while he posted a solid line here, it wasn't enough for a Tar Heels team that suffered a shocking first-round exit. Veesaar ends the 2025-26 season with averages of 17.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 blocks per game, with all four figures being career-high marks for the Estonia-born center.

Impact The Tar Heels suffered an early exit in the ACC Tournament, but Veesaar posted an impressive stat line in the loss. With Caleb Wilson (thumb) out for the rest of the season, look for Veesaar to play a big role for UNC on both ends of the court once the NCAA Tournament begins next week.
