Five mid-major NBA Draft prospects to monitor for 2021-22

What position would CJ Walker play in the NBA? I assume the 4. He's bouncy for sure, but really lean, and can't shoot from the outside. Kind of similar to VCU's Hason Ward or Dayton's Toumani Camara. A halfway decent jumper would give any of them serious looks in the 2nd Round, possibly even in the latter part of the first round.

Milwaukee's Patrick Baldwin is an obvious player to watch. He'll almost certainly be a lottery pick.

Size and athleticism may hurt Max Abmas (Oral Roberts) and Kenneth Lofton (La.Tech) draft stock, but they're both talented, and at least on the radar. Either one could sneak into the second round.

I feel like Fresno State's Orlando Robinson regressed a little bit last year, but still very talented. Has great size and is a decent shooter from the perimeter.

St.Joseph's Jordan Hall doesn't have eye-popping stats, but has the tools to be a solid player in the league. I expect a big jump from in his sophomore campaign.

I don't think Gonzaga, Houston, or Memphis should qualify as mid-majors. What about Wichita State or UCF? Tyson Etienne or Brandon Mahan are good enough to be drafted, I believe.
