Keegan Murray went in the 12th round last year.Undoubtedly. We miss some breakout stars every year. In our 5-year history, I believe we've had three undrafted players earn 1st Team All-American honors. Trae Young, Luka Garza (2020 season), and Johnny Davis.
Should be some fun picks in Rounds 11 and 12; I imagine a few of us will try to find that diamond in the rough.

I picked Wallace with my last pick but edited it to Reeves. If I didn't already have two freshmen, I would have stuck with him.
Hickman was the guy I was going to take it Cisse was taken. There's nothing wrong with being the 3rd or 4th option on Gonzaga. It seems any more, they always get three 1st team all conference guys and a 4th makes the 2nd team.
True on banking on a repeat DPOY but I think Cisse's numbers rise across the board based on what I'm hearing. He's worked on his shot and should have a better cast around him with Anderson and Thompson taking a step too. I have a feeling Okie State is a fringe top 25 team all year and the clear 5th best team in the B12. That, and Cisse's utilization should result in a solid Win share number.Lots of good picks lately.
Was debating on taking Jarace Walker with my previous pick. I have Nolan Hickman pretty high on my board, but was thinking he might be available in a later round - mostly because he'd be the #4 Zag. Hearing lots of good things about Cason Wallace. He can make an All-SEC team, just a matter of will he get enough touches. And I saw that Brandon Murray dropped 30 points in a scrimmage against Temple over the weekend.
Didn't even realize Cisse was Big 12 DPOY. I was thinking it was Gabe Osahuohien. Looks like those two shared the award with Baylor's JTT. I'd never bank on a guy repeating the DPOY, but considering it's round 9, it's really good value. Darryl Morsell was the 2021 Big Ten DPOY - and Posh Alexander was the 2021 Big East DPOY. Yet, Ryan Kalkbrenner was the guy who won the 2022 Big East DPOY.
that's some next level trolling vs me. G F yourself and also respect brother!David Jones
We are going with 12 rounds this year so yes, we've got a few rounds left.Hey Duke, how many rounds are left? Am I picking 2 at the turn again?

yes we are all aware that you made mostly terrible picks in the draft.Damn, just realized I have 4 Big 12 guys. WTF am I thinking?
And not a single Big Ten guy says something about the depth of the league after Dick-in-son, TJD-flex and the Big Maple-Edey. I think Kris Murray takes the big step to be the 4th guy in the Big Ten but after that, woof. No clear cut guys that I could guarantee even a 2nd team All-League selection. I'm sure at least one of the Illinois guys will be there but couldn't tell you which. Same for Rutgers.

Still bitter about Tyger Campbell, huh?yes we are all aware that you made mostly terrible picks in the draft.
who? I don't acknowledge that name as being a real person.Still bitter about Tyger Campbell, huh?
this is hate speech.
Illinois nearly got Murray this off season, and there are some that preferred him to Shannon. He’s going to be good, but not sure about his team.Lots of good picks lately.

I don’t think that will be enough to save Ewings job.He's a stud. No question. An easy #1 option for G'town.
Don't think Georgetown is a tournament team, but they should win quite a few more games than last season. Their point guard returns + a few other decent transfers - Jay Heath, Qudus Wahab, Akok Akok, and Primo Spears. Maybe between 12-17 wins.

Agree. A year or two ago I questioned how long Martin should get and people here thought I was crazy. Things just didn’t get better and they eventually made the move.And rightfully so. If JT3, who was moderately successful, couldn't keep his job, neither should Ewing. 1 tournament in 6 years just isn't good enough for a program of their stature.
I do wonder how ADs of bottom-feeders evaluate whether it's worth it to retain a coach. I mean, Chris Collins has had 5 consecutive years where he he hasn't won more than 15 games. He sure is milking that 2017 tournament win.
Frank Martin finally got canned after the 2017 Final Four run. Can SC really bring in someone better than Martin?
And gotta wonder how much of a leash Oregon State's Wayne Tinkle is getting from their magical 2021 Elite Eight run. They were bloody awful last year. 3 wins?! No worries, they only lost their two best players to to the portal - and the other three starters graduated. I'm sure they'll be able to muster at least 2 wins this season.
I thought about taking him. I figured he wouldn’t make it another round.Caleb Daniels/ Villanova
Not sure who is up next
