Wow I was having a bad day yesterday. Correction noted.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Obviously there is no correlation beyond dna but you have to think the performance of Markus's brother in the NBA summer league may just boost the prospects of NBA GMs to give Markus a shot

They haven't figured out yet that Cole Anthony is on UNC!?!

His shooting ability boosts his prospects.

I mean sure the guy is elite at basketball, but that's surely not the only reason he'll get drafted.

Honestly, he's going to get drafted, and I wouldn't be surprised to see someone take a flier earlier than you'd think. He has an elite skill, and that's worth a chance that there's some untapped potential there once he's around NBA caliber players

I don't think there is - I think he'll be a niche player that carves out a nice career in that niche - but the talent pool is so shallow in the draft that teams will shoot their shot at the faintest hint of untapped upside

In the exact opposite camp. His shooting skill is not something that's unheard of in the NBA. He's undersized severely in the college game. When the shooting guards are all 6'6 its going to be very rough for him.

He gets drafted in the mid 50s or gets a summer invite.

IDK when he'll get drafted but what you said in spades.  Markus struggles against rangy, tall, quick defenders.  The NBA has too many to count.  Now he will get the benefit of being a guy any GM will know will happily fill his 11th-12th man role without so much as a peep and will work his tail off every day to contribute in any way the coach sees fit.

[We R Final Four]

Maybe, maybe not.
Any kid with MH's resume wants to play in the NBA and get paid. Does that mean he will gladly play the 12th man role of scout team, and taking charges, and diving for loose balls? Never complain about not playing? Maybe.
Maybe he would then prefer to play overseas to show off his talents.
But, let's not pretend he is some glue guy who will do anything and everything to satisfy an NBA coach.
I believe he will get a shot at the league.  I believe he will make a team roster and then kick around the league for a few years. Then, time to make a decision.
I am thankful to be able to watch his senior season.

Glue guy.... NBA. Same sentence?

There are like 12 people who play D in the NBA anymore.

MarKus can get open and get up a 3, he will be fine if he makes the league.

[Coleman]

Mid 2nd round.

[Coleman]

Random question, has a college POY ever gone undrafted?

You must not watch the NBA.

I agree that he might prefer to play in Europe.  I think you and I agree that his top end in the NBA is as a bench specialist.

Not a Naismith winner, and the broad majority have been first round picks. That said, both Frank Mason & Jalen Brunson were recent winners & went early in the second.

What does this mean...he will be FINE if he makes the league?

i think the "D" is tighter in college than the nba from the 3 pt line. 

[brewcity77]

I'm going to agree with wades and say you also must not watch the NBA.

[Uncle Rico]

Lol

[fjm]

I watch only the bucks. They play D. I guess.

The rest of the league. I'm unimpressed.
