Who is the little guy in the middle?
I was a big morez fan and really hated him leaving but never did I ever think he would be a top 10 pick in the draft.
I thought Yaxel would go before Morez
I expect him to be slotted there too considering AD doesn't play for Dallas anymore
Who was the highest Illini player ever drafted? Mike Price?
It wouldn't surprise me if the Mavs changed to drafting Morez at #9 after hiring May and getting his input.
LOL. Right dude with the Wizards.
Morez is a much better fit in Dallas than Mara. They already have Gafford and Lively.
Good for him.
Good for him.
crazy to think that at one point there’s even doubt about whether Moraz would stay in the draft

He’s really going to look like that now with Yaxel being drafted.Live look at Aday Mara:
What a monster draft draw for OKC.
Mara at 12 is crazy (if they select him).

Considering the reports that the Bucks said “KJ or no deal” for Giannis, I’m guessing the Bucks will give him every chance.
If Hartenstein doesn't stay at OKC, then Mara would be a great fit. Chet can have Mara take the 5 and guard Wemby. Lol.
There has been 6 Illini and former Illini that have been selected in the first round the last 3 years. Underwood and crew know how to recruit.

Who?
Milwaukee’s owner is a huge Tennessee booster.
Probably a 1% chance that they don’t select Ament here.

League really let them have Mara
Love the ABC crew belittling Cronin. Even though it's not possible to make him any littler....
