Draft night can be a stressful time for some young basketball players as they can drop a little further than expected and no one really knew the feel for Oregon basketball star Chris Duarte.
The range was pretty vast for Duarte. He could have either been a mid-first or late-first-round pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. His stress levels after 10 picks had to be high, but they didn’t last much longer as a team took a chance on him a few spots later.
