MU Mock Draft Prospects

[The Big East]

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.

b
I think Markus and Rowsey Are comparable offensively.

We have now seen evidence of Rowsey at the professional level. Was in Toronto summer league team coming out of college. Had a solid first year in Hungary ,which led to a G League spot with the Lakeland . Rowsey put up very big offensive numbers At high efficiency for Lakeland including a 43 point game . However , he saw limited time on the TBT team.  He is now a reserve on a team in the Top German League. It should be noted the Euro Leagues play on a smaller court and the league is physical and this does not play to Rowsey strengths. So , we have seen Rowsey get opportunities To play for payb,  but so far The lack of defense  has Limited his ability  to get a bona fide opportunity in the NBA.

I think Markus will get an opportunity In the NBA because he has worked very hard on his conditioning and defense . Not saying he has improved but that extra effort  may enough what to give some team the courage to sign him and take a flyer  . Most likely ,the second road or as free agent and see if he can stick around.

If it doesn't work out For Markus I think he will follow in the footsteps of Rowsey and play some G League and turn that into a European top level league contract.

Markus' defense wasn't terrible. Rowsey's was.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Markus was a much better defender than Rowdy. Much better than a lot of people gave him credit for.

Offensively, Markus was much more versatile than Rowdy was. He could score in a lot of different ways whereas Rowdy was mostly limited to his (unreal) three point shooting.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Markus will get drafted in the Arby's Round. Chicago Bulls

"Rowdy" (Roddy Piper?) also had The Thing.

Parrish has Marcus going to GSW, the after practice games of H O R S E would be a blast.

He's been gone so long, it's like we don't even know him.

44. Markus Howard

This is the highest Markus has been in the Mock Draft in a long time. this ranking is also after the NBA Combine so I guess the event was a positive for Markus.

Just watched some videos.    We will not see his like again.     I have changed my mind.    I think somebody picks him up.

I think you have nailed the precise reason some one will take a flyer on him. Shooters of his ability just don't come around that often. It is worth a second round pick to see if he can do it at the next level.

I would have loved to see him in the 3point shooting contest at the Final Four. Perfect score, maybe?

ESPN just ran a feature about sons of former NBA players in the draft, featuring (among others) Brendan Bailey.
I kind of forgot about him. Guessing we won't hear his name tonight.

Not a chance of that happening. I wish him well. Seems like a classy person just like all of Wojo's guys.

Still a real head scratcher of a move for BB.

I think he realized he's not going to gain much more value as a 23 year old junior for draft stock. Likely will earn money overseas somewhere.

Honest question I don't know the answer to - how common is it for first team All Americans go undrafted? What % are lottery picks, first rounders and second rounders?

I believe that the list of undrafted AAs is exactly one name.  Scottie Reynolds.  Don't know %s based on round.

Agree with those that think he's worth a late 2nd rounder, his shooting is too elite not to be given a chance.

Hope the Bucks take him at 45.
