So let’s put to bed the “he’s not ready talk.”
NBA drafts on potential. Any weaknesses he has can be improved on in the NBA.

Nbadraft.net's mock are usually terrible but their before season mocks are especially terrible. They once had Josh Gray as a top 45 pick.

It's not impossible to think he could climb into the lottery. It would take a great late season run or a dominant second season. If he doesn't get the former, he should be able to get the latter, especially if Waters goes to the NBA.

Correct lets look at the last few years picked 28th
2018- Jacob Evans GSW
2017- Tony Bradley LAL
2016- Skal Labissiere PHX
2015- RJ Hunter BOS
2014- CJ Wilcox LAC
2013- Levo Jean-Charles SAS

He might not be ready, the nba just drafts on potential. You said it yourself.

This board is basketball illiterate. This fricking state is. It’s been like that since the deaf dome days ended and people quit watching basketball. Now you have idiots who have watched two different times in their life. Now and when Simmons was here.

That’s the whole fricking point so why are you arguing. He might not be completely “ready” but most aren’t. 6’10 wirh an offense game. Coaches think they can make anyone play hard and play defense. So they draft on potential.

And that draft slot is $1.35M for first year. It wouldn't hit $2M unless he is selected top in top 17 pick. NBA is different with salaries than NFL. I could see him coming back but I don't expect him to.

As of now, I dont see him having much impact in the NBA, but this is one of the weakest drafts in awhile. So a lot of fringe prospects might enter because of this.
Posted on 1/27/19 at 3:53 pm to Bjorn Cyborg
Will he sit out the NCAA tourney?
Posted on 1/27/19 at 5:05 pm to SloaneRanger
He needs lots of refinement in his low post positioning and moves to balance out the inside/outside game you need as a 6’10” guy. Shaq had the same developmental opportunity through his freshman year at LSU. Dale Brown brought Walton how had just retired from the NBA to BR for a summer to tutor Shaq on the fine art of low post play. The rest was history as Shaq became the most dominant low post player in both NCAA and NBA later. It would be amazing if Shaq returned the favor and tutored Naz if he came back one more year.

Josh Gray absolutely tore up the D/G League and had a cup of coffee in the NBA. It’s certainly not as absurd to project him to be drafted as you make it seem.
NBADraft.net is usually one of the best “early” mocks out there, it’s obviously not going to be very accurate but they are usually the first one to put out a mock and others copycat.

LOL ...did you just credit Walton as the person who catapulted Shaq to greatness ??

Yes ouch. You’re talking about the NBA draft, not the NFL. If you aren’t lottery you shouldn’t be coming out as a freshman.

Shaq also worked with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

He needs to go to the Rockets. Perfect fit for their system
