MU Mock Draft Prospects

[marqfan22]

Would crack up if Markus and Joey end up on the same NBA team even if it's just for a tiny stretch.

Joey isn't going to the NBA. He barely started and struggled for a one and done tourney team. Never mind making a NBA roster.

As much as I dislike him, a very tall player who can stretch the floor and handle the ball will make it. You're judging after his freshman year and jaded by him transferring. Id bet on him to at least get his look.

Remind me in three years how well this comment aged.

I think he is being sarcastic.

Markus measured 5'-9.5" without shoes at the draft combine.

Always found it amusing that they measure without shoes. Cause we all know players ball barefoot in the league.  But all considered, not a bad outcome. Means he's in that 5,10.5-5'11 range in shoes. He's short, we've always known that, but he's not Lilliputian

Why measure in shoes. They are all different.

People's height is their height without shoes. Well, technically if you ask someone their height it always seems to be their height without shoes, + a random 2 inches.

They measured him at 5'11" in shoes.

[Spotcheck Billy]

So MU doesn't fudge the heights, they always had Markus listed as 5'11".

[The Big East]

6 foot and 1/4 wingspan for Markus and trim at 170.8 pounds

Don't get me wrong, I love Markus, but what's the difference between him and Rowsey as far as making an NBA roster?
Both can shoot it and are roughly the same height. Limited defensively. OK ball handlers.

[MUDPT]

I realize LaMelo is 8 inches taller, but dude shot 25% from 3 in Australia, as an 18 year old.  Markus shot 55% in the Big East as a 17 year old. One is guaranteed top 10, probably top 5 and the other has a good shot of not being drafted.

Markus is slightly less of a revolving door on D whereas Rowsey being compared to a revolving door was probably disingenuous to revolving doors.

[Golden Avalanche]

Markus is slightly less of a revolving door on D whereas Rowsey being compared to a revolving door was probably disingenuous to revolving doors.

He's also the greatest scorer in Big East history. Did it at a high level for four seasons in various roles. Historically great numbers his final season.

All those things add up to a stew that makes him more appealing as a draft pick than Rowsey.

8 inches taller is your answer.

[wadesworld]

8 inches taller is your answer.

Better ball handler and court vision as well.

[tower912]

I was and am a huge fan of Markus.   An amazing scorer.   A wonderful representative of Marquette.   But when it comes to the league, I equate him with Gardner.   

[brewcity77]

8 inches taller is your answer.

Yup. If Markus was 6'6", he would've been a lottery pick. In the 2018 NBA Draft.

[The Sultan]

Yup. If Markus was 6'6", he would've been a lottery pick. In the 2018 NBA Draft.

After playing his freshman year at Duke.

[tower912]

Fact.

[brewcity77]

After playing his freshman year at Duke.

He wasn't draft eligible until after his sophomore year. But definitely more likely he'd have been far higher rated and recruited, yes.

[wadesworld]

We were 8 inches from avoiding cancer? Damn.

[Uncle Rico]
