On Monday, DraftExpress released a new list of their top 100 prospects for this year’s NBA Draft. There are three Arizona Wildcats, with Lauri Markkanen leading the way in the 9th spot. Behind him are Kobi Simmons (61st) and Allonzo Trier (83rd). These new rankings kind of reaffirm the group that most believe will be leaving Arizona early after this year, but of course, nothing’s ever set in stone until it happens. You can watch the video breakdown of Lauri’s strengths, along with all the other videos DraftExpress has of him

- Speaking of Trier, Sean Miller made this whole situation even weirder and murkier with a couple of different remarks about the Arizona guard

- There were many games played in McKale on Monday, and for Salpointe’s game, Arizona recruiting target Majok Deng wore UA socks

- Rawle Alkins was spending his MLK Day trying to get his driver’s license.
