Prospects continue to gather feedback and make decisions for the 2021 NBA draft.
Few prospects who seemed draftable have announced they ll be heading back to school. The biggest name yet to publicly declare or return is Texas Greg Brown, who we re projecting to stay in school.
There is still a considerable amount of down time for scouting departments from now until lottery night on June 21. We ve simulated the draft order with Tankathon, and the results triggered some interesting trades previously made.

The Oklahoma City Thunder s commitment to building through the draft could pay off big with some 2021 lottery luck. It will be a huge night for the franchise. Winning that first pick likely means adding Cade Cunningham to join Shai Gilgeous-Alexlander and create a big, skilled, versatile backcourt.

McIngvale lost around $13 million when the Houston Astros fell to the Washington Nationals in the 2019 World Series. He also watched Houston exit the 2021 NCAA men s basketball tournament in the Final Four after betting $1 million on the Cougars to win it all.
Wide-bodied frame with good thickness in his lower half and overall girth. Good mobility in his hips to bend, lift and dig out tightly aligned defenders on angle-drive blocks. Does a nice job on his double-team fits and staying thick on the defender prior to his climb. Solid quickness to close space on targets in space to create seals in the run game. Extensive experience at three positions and is the utility player on the unit who fills in across the line when they re in a pinch.
NEGATIVES Marginal use of hands; often late and slow at the point of attack, resulting in quick, game-altering losses.
