fan for too long 2 531 Report post Posted March 26, 2023 15 hours ago, jmmagicfan said: I’m watching FAU vs. Kansas State and I am really impressed with Markquis Nowell. I’m not sure if he will be in the draft, but I would give him a long look at 35. Not sure a five foot 8 guy can make it in the league anymore. Disappointing that he didn’t want the last shot in the game. Not the alpha mentally a guy of his stature has to have to make it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CTMagicUK 1,480 Report post Posted March 26, 2023 I haven't watched much UConn this year so this is recency bias and looking at stats but Jordan Hawkins looks like a first round pick. He's a really good shooter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conversely if you told me there were like 6 or 7 stars in this draft I think I'd also believe you. There are A LOT of guys who have very obvious flaws but that could easily be very very good players in the right development environment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Klay passing is not really his best ability, so how bad is the rookie one? ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CTMagicUK 1,480 Report post Posted March 27, 2023 Wonder how much the tournament will help the stock of Isaiah Wong. I think he's draftable but haven't noticed him on a mock draft yet. Would make a good use of our 2nd round pick to be honest, 6'3, athletic, can shoot it. If we could get him as a UFA I'd be ecstatic but with Miami in the final 4 he's going to have potentially 2 highly visible opportunities to improve his stock.
