2016 NBA Mock Draft: Marquette's Henry Ellenson rises into Top 10

It is fun in the sense when a team that lousy can get its act together and beat a final four team like they did this year with Syracuse. Kind of like the old New York Mets.

That's just a silly thing to write.

The old Mets of 1969 were fun.

The old Mets of 1962 were fun in a very different kind of way.

Bang! I nailed that analysis about a week ago in a Who Should Draft Henry thread when I said:

"As for Henry he'll need a place to develop. Toronto or Orlando wouldn't be bad landing spots for him where he wouldn't have to be a bruiser down low with Jonas Valančiūnas and Nikola Vučević patrolling the paint, respectively. HE needs to put muscle on his frame so he won't get pushed around in the league, don't get me wrong he had a phenomenal year at Marquette but there were times where he got pushed around by smaller guys and didn't hesitate to whine to the refs. All in all I hope he has a 13+ year NBA career but there most certainly will be a learning curve and I hope he lands in a place with people that can help him grow into a legit NBA player."

lol. Get its act together = beating a team that lost 14 games this year. In order to do so, St. John's had to 59% eFG thanks to 50% 3-point shooting (12 made!!) and the 14 loss team had to shoot only 39.5% eFG - their second worst of the year - thanks to 5/26 for 19.2% 3FG.

Syracuse was a +9 on turnovers, but it wasn't enough because of 3-point shooting. The equalizer of bball when it comes to bad teams vs. much better teams.

Like Herm Edwards says "that is why they play the games"
