Not exactly a “mock draft” but Vecenie today put Oso at No. 12 on his big board and Tyler at 26: https://theathletic.com/5107064/2023/12/06/nba-draft-2024-big-board-isiah-collier-reed-sheppard/?source=user_shared_article
RicoMany on here were shocked last year when every announcer mentioned the scouts at the game to see Omax. Oso, Kolek and Ben Gold get the most love from the announcers and analysts in regard to the big picture. I cannot remember the former UConn player that I heard interviewed last year about MU, and he said multiple times that Oso will play in the NBA for a decade+.
Never doubt a winner. Someone who has survived for as long as Jose has in high level D1 basketball programs is enormously successful. Someone who is 25 is in the prime of their life. Someone who has 6 years of basketball experience in power conferences knows how to play. Jose is a man with high basketball IQ. He also has managed to avoid getting a real job. Which not a lot of people on board can say. Please stand down Sultan.
New mock from The Athletic has TK going #29 to Denver and Oso at #34 to Portland.
Hope we get to see 3 more weeks from these guys. Hope everyone has been enjoying them the last few months.
The Bleacher Report mock also has Kam going in the second round.
No team with 3 NBA draft picks (probable) should miss the Final Four. And if Gold can improve his defense from his 2nd to his 4th year as much as Oso, it is probably 4 draft picks.Of course all they all need to be healthy.
I mean, Duke and Kentucky have that many draft picks every single year. And usually high firsts, not boarder line firsts and down the road maybe NBA players.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
So what happens if we play Colorado?
Oso and Tyler aren’t ready.
Colorado was a bubble team for a reason. Having a great team goes well beyond having a lottery pick.
5th in the nation in 3-point shooting.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Oso has some crazy passing ability for his size. If a shooting coach believes they can build him into a competent shooter they'll take a flyer on him in the second round imo. I don't see a situation where he's a first rounder given his height and what we've seen his skill set to be. Good college center but in the NBA he's a PF and that requires the ability to shoot the 3
