re: SI’s latest mock, based on rumors and buzz, has Shaedon Sharpe falling to us at 8.

His "peers" have played basketball.

And?

"goodwill" and "make scouts life easier" are not exactly compelling reasons to take on undue risk to your draft position(ad by extension financial future) by doing more than what is needed to land as the top 5 or 6 player on most boards.

If he falls past 10, then I think it would be fair to criticize their decisions, but even this article doesn't see him falling past 8, and if he even gets there, that multiple teams would look to trade up to get him.

Seems to me his "camp" is doing the wise thing. Even if all of us would have liked to see him participate in everything for our own piece of mind.
