A new mock draft from ESPN is up:
https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/sto...caa-tournament
Paolo, AJ, and Mark are all listed as lottery picks.
Trevor is listed towards the end of the first round, with Givony mentioning again that the scuttlebutt in NBA circles has been all season that Keels would strongly consider returning to Duke if he doesn't receive a first round guarantee. If I'm Jon Scheyer, I'm telling Trevor to look at what happened to Jaden Ivey, Johnny Davis, and Keegan Murray, who were fringe potential first round picks and/or off the radar as freshmen, but now are all likely Top 10 picks. I think that could be a very compelling argument, especially given a sophomore Trevor would be a primary focus in our offense, and the fact that Trevor won't turn 19 until August.
Wendell is listed early in the second round. He's going to have an interesting decision to make, I think... while for most juniors, the potential of a guaranteed contract that has come for early second round picks in recent years would be too good to pass up, Wendell is still young for his class. He won't turn 21 until this September (for reference, Cassius Stanley is a full year older than him, something that we know played a role in his decision to go pro early). Given his relative youth, one could argue that returning for another year won't hurt Wendell's draft stock based on his age, and could conceivably get him into the first round (maybe he has an Ochai Agbaji type year?!?!). And there's always the allure of getting a senior night, and being the face of the most recognizable program in the country...
Long story short, I still remain cautiously optimistic that we could finally get a win as it pertains to draft decisions. And by optimistic, I think there's maybe a 1 in 4 chance we get one of Trevor or Wendell back... but that's much better than the 1 in 10 chance we've been used to lately, haha.
