Why You Shouldn't Freak Out About NBA Draft Projections

At the end of the day, the NBA cares far more about whether you can play basketball than it does about when you were drafted.

Christian D'Andrea has been keeping us up to date about NBA Draft projections for Wade Baldwin IV and Damian Jones. Today's update from NBAdraft.net has Baldwin going 35th and Jones going 26th, for what it's worth.

Both former Commodores are projected to be late first-round or early second-round picks, depending on the source. If either of them is drafted in the second round, there will be the usual gnashing of teeth about how they made a bad decision by leaving early and should have returned to school, because reasons.
