Oklahoma's Trae Young has declared for the NBA draft, and teams have started to do their homework to find out more about the nation's leading scorer and assist man. Young's father, Rayford Young, told Bleacher Report he's already been contacted by some teams looking to learn more about his son.

The Young family explored the possibility of returning to Oklahoma with the goal of winning National Player of the Year in 2019, but Young was adamant about starting the predraft process. He'll instead focus on strengthening his body to be in the best shape for draft workouts.

He's expected to generate interest from teams that select in the mid-to-late lottery. A few franchises likely to pick in that range could use an upgrade at point guard. That bodes well for Young, whose rocky second half of the season raised concerns about the possibility he could slip in the draft.

The following five teams (expected to pick in Young's projected draft range) jump out as the best fits for both parties.
