Breaking Down the Frontcourt as Draft Day Draws Near
Almost anything can happen on Draft night, but if the final player in this alphabetically-ordered list doesn’t go No. 1 to the Pelicans, something very strange is happening.
The Wine & Gold – who still have plenty of assets to play with – will be on the clock with the 5th and 26th picks of the first round, and any of the other four forwards could be available up and down the board.
On today’s list, we have the ultimate team player who led his school to the national title, an undersized do-it-all guy with a burning will to win, arguably the best international prospect in the Draft, an athletic wing born in Japan and finally, the most intriguing and dominant prospect to enter the league since the last time the team picking first picked first.
