15 - Romeo Langford
21 - Bruno Fernando
24 - Carsen Edwards
31 - Reggie Roby
51 -Jordan Poole (very surprised...I don;t see the speed; athleticism or strength to make NBA)
54 - Ziggy Bradzekis
56 -Jordan Matthews

Some names not listed to be drafted: Lamar Stevens; Kalen Wesson (is he a senior and/or did he declare?); James Palmer; Ethan Happ; Jordan Murphy

My opinion - all stay in the the draft except Poole and Matthews.....my feeling is Poole and Matthews can upgrade draft position by staying in college 1 more year and not having to share the ball with Bradzekis.

Wesson will likely stay. He was only a sophomore, I could see him going after next season.

I don’t understand the appeal of Edwards as a pro at all. Seems very undersized and lacking PG skills. He won’t have the chance to be a volume scorer at the next level so not sure how he fits into a team.

He’s kind of a Corey Sanders who can shoot and has a left hand. If Sanders has those attributes, I think there would be place for him in the NBA.

I guess Stevens loves PSU enough to stay. How much can he expect to improve his draft status after the outstanding year he just had?

It's unreal how hard it is to get drafted. Stevens is quite a player. Powell can light it up but maybe he's a little undersized. Murphy was really good but I never thought he was an NBA guy; overseas for sure. I think Happ makes a roster as a free agent but then again, how can you suck so badly at the FT line as a big man who sticks in the NBA?

Happ's problem is not limited to FTs. He can't shoot from anywhere but within 3 ft. of the basket. There's not a lot of demand in the NBA these days for that skill set, especially given his size.

Just for the heck of it, I'll report here that Bruno Fernando is still attending his spring semester classes...

I hold the same thought. I think he will start passing once he knows he doesn't have to handle the bulk 50% of the offensive production of a team.

I would think Winston is maybe one of the few small guys who can play with anyone and he’ll be drafted. Maybe he goes in the second round but he’s a pro.

I think Winston can be a player like Fred VanVleet. Undersized heady PG that can run the offense off the bench, good role player.
