This guy will be rising up draft boards. Thoughts?

  1. I have none. If he isn’t a top 5 pick, no reason to notice him imo. The Pacers should be one of the worst 3-5 teams in the league to end the season, so I’m only interested in top of the lottery guys.

  2. Maybe pick 45-60. He was a mid major star. Now a slightly above average power conference starter.

  3. He is good, but he is a senior, so he gonna be at best drafted in the 20s. I think he goes early 2nd round. I would target Flory Bidunga over him in the 2nd. Lob threat/premier shot blocker/rebounder.

  4. He was planning on going to the draft last year if he was we going to be drafted first rounder. He could be a good pro but like nique Clifford, shep, and jacquez, he will find himself in late teens or early 20s best case scenario

  5. would love to trade a top 3 pick for 2 top 15 picks somehow. don’t think this draft will have outliers at the top. yaxel is great. mara is good too on michigan. 

  6. Unless something goes really wrong (or really, really right), he’s probably not going to be in our expected draft range. That said, if we ended up with a second, later pick, he’d make an intriguing pick. Keep in mind, he’s already 23 years old, so he’s got that “Chris Duarte advantage” going for him.

  7. He’ll be 24 when next season starts. The track record for guys that enter the league that old is not good.
