    Edey goes for 40 of their 72 points. Insane.
    Definitely a top all time college player. 22 free throws as well which is insane.

      Knecht is a senior. Why is he getting the FRP hype?

        Pretty well every mock has 5-6 seniors going in the 1st round. .
        If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

          The draft is only bad at the top. Outside the lottery, not much different than other years.

            • One more thing, using Edey as an example. He could have declared last year and been a late 2nd rounder. But he went back for his senior season and is making over $800, 000 through his NIL.

                15-30, sure. But I’ve seen Knecht as high as 7th in some mocks.

                  He's 3rd at NBADraft.net.

                  Which prompts the question - Which draft sites are the best? I personally like ESPN best, B/R and the Ringer good. Am I wrong or missing something?

                      • Edey won't be challenged until the final against UConn and Clingan. He's just way too big for tiny ncaa "centers". Most are basically small PF by NBA standards

                          Burns is listed at 275 lbs, but looks heavier than that. Edey won’t be able to just push him around. Should be interesting.

                          • Purdue is tough to play when you don't have a big guy. It's like every college team needed that 7ft stiff to play against Edey like the NBA used to do when Shaq was playing. Ultimately I also don't think Edey will work out in the NBA. I just think he's too robotic. Doesn't have a natural feel to his game. And that methodical play is not going to work so well against skilled players or guys just a big as he is.

                            I haven't seen much of Clingan play but I hear he looks more natural. Has some pretty good defensive numbers in college too. So would be nice if we get to see the head to head matchup in the finals.

                            Knecht was really good too.. he looks like a Max Struss type of player though. He's a senior as well. I think he's a safe pick. I wouldn't be surprised if we had a top 6 pick and took him. But I think he's already at his ceiling. And I don't think it's a terrible ceiling. Guys like Struss, Bogdonovic (either one), Huerter, etc are all like $16-20M players in today's NBA.. and have made nice livings as a rotation wing shooter. But if you want upside (ie, all-star caliber).. you won't get that from him IMO.

                              Nah, the SL invite should be DJ "Big Zion" Burns Jr. He's DOG, baby!!!

                                NBADraft.net is usually way off the board compared to other sites that do mocks and rank draft picks. I liked Dean on Draft in the past but I suspect he's been hired by an NBA team as a scout since he hasn't updated his site for awhile.

                                There are a few guys. The Athletic, Yahoo, CBS Sports also come out with their picks and I end up going to a few of them to get a variety of different opinions.

                                This site calculates a "consensus" from gathering data from all those various sites and is updated on a regular basis:
