NBA Draft season is fun for college basketball fans, particularly those with prospective draftees/recent collegiate departures. Auburn basketball fans are looking at their third season in a row with a Tiger selected in the first round of the draft.
2019 saw Chuma Okeke selected with the #16 pick by the Orlando Magic. 2020 saw Isaac Okoro selected with the #5 pick by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Where Sharife Cooper, Auburn basketball’s latest entry into the NBA realm, will land is anyone’s guess at this point. Some mocks have had him in the lottery, while others see him falling to the low 20’s late in the first round.
