I don't really care about any of the Thompson twins stats. That league was just too awful to really take anything from it. For me it's just watching how they move and imagining how that translates to the NBA.

There will be at least two players picked in the first round next year who played in OTE this past year

Some interesting tidbits from Bryan Kalbrosky’s latest mock draft from USA Today. All of the stats are via Stats Perform.

Whitmore scored 0.76 points per touch on drives which is as the best among players projected to go in the first.

Hendricks is one of 10 high-major freshman ever to record 35 dunks and 35 threes in their freshman season. Most recent freshman to do it was Mathurin. 7 out of the last 9 to do it went top-7.

Black shot 37.5% on uncontested 3’s and 47.1% on threes from NBA range.

Wallace shot 42.1% on threes from NBA range and 48.4% on corner threes.

Rafael Barlowe said several scouts and agents believe OKC is targeting Bilal at 12.

Michigan outscored opponents by 24.3 points per 100 possessions when Bufkin was on the court vs when he was not which was 4th best among players in high-major college basketball.

Marquette outscored opponents by 26.8 points per 100 possessions when OMP was on the court vs when he was not which ranked 2nd best among players in high-major college basketball.

Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo said Whitehead been unable to conduct workouts after his recent foot surgery and because of that he is widely perceived as a question mark before the draft.

Lively held opponents to 36.8% from the paint when guarded by him and opponents shot 29.8% from the paint when he was on the floor.

Rafael Barlowe said Keyonte arguably had the best pro-day out of everyone and is in tremendous shape.

L. Miller had the highest percentage of passes that lead to a hockey assist (4.3%) of all projected first round picks.

Sensabaugh made at least 50 shots at the rim, mid-range and from three. Of all freshman to ever do that he joins McCollum, Markkanen and Fultz as being the only 4 freshman to do that and shoot at least 40% from each zone.

Podz shot 43.8% from 3 and 69.9% of those were contested which is the highest amount out of any player in the draft.

Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo said some believe Klintman could have a promise in the 20’s. Michael Scotto said there is a belief circulating that the Indiana is high on Klintman.

Podz. Of course. But his 3pt shooting might be flukey because he “only” shot 77% FTs as a 19 year old.
 
Hendricks was the best player on a decent team and shot way better on the looks he got than Walker as the second or third option on a great team.
 
If we stay at 9, it seems like Wemby, Scoot, B Miller, Amen , Ausar, Cam, and Black will all be gone as well as one of Walker or Hendrix. That means we are basically choosing among the leftover of Walker/Hendrix plus Dick, Wallace, and Bufkin. I’d have Dick last among those players.

That’s what I’m starting to think as well. Walker might be the one who is available at 9.

This makes sense, but I don't think the Jazz are going to passively sit at #9 and see who falls. I think they'd move up to #6 with ORL to get either Whitmore or Walker, while ORL gets Hendricks at #9 and picks up another asset. ORL can then take Dick at #11.
