    If Emmanuel Mudiay does not return at all, how would you compare his draft process in the same reference to Kyrie Irving’s plagued season?

    The consensus is that he most definitely will not go #1 overall with Jahlil Okafor in play, but could we potentially see a significant decline in Mudiay’s range with D’Angelo Russell balling out of his mind?

     The mystery is half the allure. Kanter was hyped, went early without every playing a game for Kentucky, Exum went early without playing a meaningful game against similar level competition excluding maybe the Hoop Summit games. 

    I dont know if it will impact his draft status much ultimately. The order in which these guys are taken is going to hinge so largely on the draft order of teams. I anticipate his range being from 1-5. Maybe Russell sneaks in ahead of him, maybe not. 

    Mind you, if the draft combine has re-instated mandatory five on five… could really determine a lot. Again, that is if the combine itself is mandatory. In the past we have seen a number of players not participate in the drill section. A little competition never hurt nobody!

    For now I see Okafor as the clear #1, but after him it all depends on who a team likes. I can see Towns, Johnson, Russell and Mudiay going in the next four picks, for which the order will depend on which team picks where.
