Kansas basketball: Predicting NBA Draft landing spots for two Jayhawks
With the NBA Draft just a week away, we predicted the landing spots for former Kansas basketball stars Gradey Dick and Jalen Wilson.
Before Kevin McCullar withdrew his name from the NBA Draft, Kansas Jayhawks fans were expecting three KU players to hear their names called on draft night. However, only Gradey Dick and Jalen Wilson remain in the pool.
Dick, a one-and-done at Kansas, is a projected lottery pick due to his elite three-point shooting ability and 6-foot-8 frame. He fits the mold of a prototypical 3-and-D wing in today’s NBA and could be the ultimate role player on a contender if he continues to develop.
