McDuffie doesn’t get selected in the 2019 NBA Draft
Wichita State’s Markis McDuffie did not hear his name called in the 60-pick NBA Draft on Thursday night.
After having a career year, averaging 18.2 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist per game, McDuffie was ranked as the 62nd best prospect according to CBS analyst Kyle Boone. However, McDuffie failed to make the Top-100 list made by Sports Illustrated Draft Analyst Jeremy Woo.
According to Woo, notable American Athletic Conference players ranked ahead of McDuffie include No. 74 Jarrey Foster, SMU, No. 81 Tacko Fall, UCF, and No. 94 Daquan Jeffries, Tulsa. Not a single player from the conference was selected in the draft.
