Perth Wildcats center Alex Sarr seems to be the consensus No. 1 overall pick, but what does the rest of the draft look like? Jason McIntyre breaks it down.

Nice words about Newton, hope it happens!

 

[aburks41]

That’s the first one I’ve seen with Newton in the first round. That would be incredible and he’s earned it

Would think his draft stock has been on an upswing in the past month.

Please don’t let Charlotte draft another one of our players

May want to edit the thread title...

My thoughts exactly

The NBA shook things up so there are now multiple drafts held with five number one picks in each of them. It’s like a participation trophy thing. I’ll forward the memo.

 

[aceboon]

It's Jason McIntyre...

 

[Stasher599]

Imagine the rim protection having Wembanyama and Clingan on the floor together if the Spurs decided to draft our Connecticut boy!!

#22? Yeah right

 

[Verne]

Hate to burst anyone's bubble but my 6 year old son could make a mock draft that would have more credibility than Jason McIntyre's.

Entire starting 5 in the top 50 according to this big board, including Karaban at 33.

Depending on how the draft lottery shakes out, any of the top-10 players have a non-zero chance of being picked No. 1 overall.

I knew the comments about Steph to the Hornets would come lol - and I don't necessarily disagree. Selfishly I'd love to watch him, but a lot of careers have gone to die in Charlotte. If it any of the Huskies end up in Charlotte, here's to hoping the new ownership group is much better than MJ and that Steph is able to play nicely aside LaMelo.

22. Milwaukee Bucks (via New Orleans) — Tristen Newton, G, UConn

An extremely well-rounded player, he is 23 years old and thus teams are unlikely to grab him in the lottery. But he's more plug-and-play than almost every guard in this draft. Will be a rotation guy as a rookie and make the All-Rookie team.

It would be difficult to be much worse. Miller seems like the real freaking deal, so glad we passed on Scoot for him. Now if we only had a coach lol.

How can there be three number one picks?

 

[TouchdownHusky]

More interested in who is coming to UConn to replace these players.

I imagine the poster meant to say three first rounders.

 

[mcs333]

Correct

 

[bikerburt]

Unlikely! Can’t see Newton in first round

Only possible if Doc is gone.

Hate to root against for our guys, but those top 4 landing spots are rough. Spurs, Memphis please.

 

[JungleLobo]

1 lottery, 1 mid round, 2 2nd rounders and a 2-way contract 10 minutes after would be a good outcome.
