Depends who you ask.  Most Scoopers would say they're clueless and Phoenix must be hoping to stock up on D League talent.

After years and years, MU finally gets a legit top-10 recruit. Many here have been taking shots at him all year...which has only escalated since he declared for the NBA.

Very odd.

Some have been taking shots at him, and that's pretty pathetic.

However, merely saying one thinks he's not a top-5 pick is not the same as "taking shots" at him.

I haven't opined on this one way or another, BTW. I really don't know where he'll go, and I'm rooting for him to go high. No. 4 would be really cool!

Also a fair point.

Also, pointing out flaws in his game isn't taking shots at him. He came in as a teenage kid with a lot of room to improve. He still is. Hoping to see the best out of him isn't taking a shot.

He's the best Marquette freshman I've seen in my life, but that doesn't mean he couldn't have been even more.

I think it is more likely he goes between 7 and 10 than as high as 4.  Either way, a great result for him.

I agree, I think around 7 is a good number.  But it's all about who's picking where and who's available ahead of him.

Easily the best in my lifetime. 

IMO, since our team was devoid of Senior leadership,   some held him to that standard instead of people enjoying how awesome he was as a frosh. 

Can you imagine what we would be saying about him if he instead played with a senior Novak, Travis or Hayward?

I interviewed Jonathon Givony today from Draft Express.  Will publish tonight or tomorrow on CS.

All about HE and where he thinks he will go, his future, etc.

I wasn't his freshman year, but DWade's first year sent tingles almost every game.

Agreed, hence why I differentiated by class.

A year off with I4 coaching him up was the difference, a''ina?

Why rising. He has been predicted to go #4 - #7 pretty much all year.

He was 8th in their last mock draft and I haven't seen him much above 7 in really any mocks out there.

Henry kept improving throughout the year.  Rose up to the competitions talent level.  Of course he had off games.  All in all, we were real fortunate to get to see him.  I hope his development continues to improve in the NBA like Wesley's, Jimmy's and Jae's.  Of course we all know D Wade is great.

Originally, I thought he wouldn't make it past Minnesota, but I've heard Thibs wasn't impressed with his easy rebounds

Yeah Thibs doesn't stand for easy rebounds. Needs 48 minutes of grinding.
