    and last but not least #27http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/23794672/2018-nba-mock-draft-perfect-picks-every-team

    This guy seems to be a rather consensus 1st round pick in the mid 20's. Has the potential to be a steal.

    Makes total sense. Although I have no idea how he got to the mid-40s. But as an analytics-heavy team we got our analytics darling in De’Anthony Melton.

    The obvious answer revolves around him sitting out the year. It remains to be seen how much that will inhibit his growth going forward. I suppose you will never know for sure how things would have ended up if he played his soph. season. Perhaps this could even have helped him in some way by knowing now he can't screw up his shot in the NBA and will take things completely serious from now on. I love players like this, which was why I was sad to see Pat B leave to the Clippers.
