How college teams will replace NBA draft lottery picks
BY CHRIS JOHNSON Posted: Mon Jun. 27, 2016

Marquette
Player drafted/class: Henry Ellenson/freshman
Pick/team: No. 18/Detroit Pistons

Accounting for the departure of a top-10 prospect is more difficult for a program that can't simply replace him with another one: Marquette doesn't have a five-star power forward to plug in for Ellenson. Yet while the Golden Eagles' incoming recruiting class doesn't compare favorably to Duke's or Kentucky's, they do have a decent amount of talent returning from a team that increased its win total by seven in coach Steve Wojciechowski's second season, and some more en route to Milwaukee via the recruiting trail and transfer market. Senior Luke Fischer and sophomore Matt Heldt are expected to anchor the frontcourt, and the Golden Eagles won't lack for perimeter firepower. Between four-star small forward Sam Hauser, four-star point guard Markus Howard, UNC-Asheville transfer Andrew Rowsey, USC graduate transfer Katin Reinhardt and multiple returnees, Marquette should be able to spread the floor well while Fischer bangs inside.

We did not lose a lottery pick.  Top 14 are lottery.

I know how much you hate clicking links, but if you had done so and then, ya know, read it, you would have seen this line: "Bonus: The first two college players taken outside of the lottery". This prefaced the take on Henry/MU and that of Wade Baldwin/Vandy.

My only criticism is that there's no news here whatsoever. The writer says nothing besides stating the obvious:

• Losing a top-10 prospect is hard, but
• We return virtually everyone else, and
• We have another highly regarded recruiting class

Conclusion: Marquette will be more perimeter focused

Real insight, there. Must have spent at least 5 minutes coming up with that thoughtful commentary.

Hey, for those who don't folow MU regularly that's all news.  Just as for most of us plans by most of the other 15 teams will be news.
