When the year began, the Gonzaga names listed for early entries into the NBA Draft consisted of Killian Tillie and Rui Hachimura. Halfway through the season, Brandon Clarke has forced his way up multiple NBA Draft big boards by the virtue of his highlight style of play, blocking shots and dunking on fools as if it is going out of style.
All of this success might make Clarke the next Gonzaga big man to depart for the NBA early.
Clarke transferred to Gonzaga from San Jose State as someone who seemed to be a lunch pail sort of guy.
