In a recent two-round 2026 NBA mock draft from Bleacher Report, Miami's Malik Reneau is slotted as the No. 43 overall pick, a second-round projection that would send the Hurricanes' star forward to the Portland Trail Blazers. That kind of placement at this point in the college basketball is far from a guarantee, but it is nice recognition for a player who came home to Coral Gables with something to prove and has quickly become the engine of Miami's turnaround.
