Former Richmonder Isaiah Todd is among those hoping to hear his name called in this year’s NBA Draft.

The 75th annual event is scheduled July 29 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., and will be preceded by the NBA Scouting Combine June 21 through 27.

The 6-foot-10, 210-pound Todd has begun showing up on 2021 online Mock Drafts. He is predicted to go 36th overall by NBA Draft Room and 52nd by NBA Draft.net.

A total of 60 players are selected in the two-round talent hunt. Others can sign as free agents.

Originally from Baltimore, Todd moved to Richmond with his mother, Marlene Venable, when he was in the eighth grade. After one season at Henderson Middle School, Todd joined Coach Ty White’s John Marshall High School varsity team and played two seasons for the Justices.

In 2018, Todd was named 3A State Player of the Year while helping John Marshall High to the state title with a championship game win over Western Albemarle at the Siegel Center.

Todd later transferred to Trinity Academy and then to Word of God Christian, both in Raleigh, N.C., for his final two years of high school.

A five-star recruit, he first committed to Coach Juwon Howard and the University of Michigan before opting for a pro contract with the NBA G-League Ignite, based in Walnut Creek, Calif.

In 15 games for the Ignite, Todd averaged 12.3 points and 4.9 rebounds while hitting 36.2 percent on 3-pointers and 82 percent at the foul line.

Todd will turn 20 on Oct. 17.

His G-League teammates included Jalen Green,a likely lottery pick in this year’s draft. Like Todd, Green passed on college to get a head start on his pro career.
