2023 NBA 1st-round Mock Draft🏀 pic.twitter.com/A61b4Oskdu

I've seen Key projected anywhere from 9-14 in most mocks. Either way he has a real good chance to be our third top 10 draft pick in the last 3 years. Would be more than Kentucky's had in the last 6...

Interesting factoid on Yahoo sports yesterday regarding the #1 overall pick. Of the 38 picks since the lottery was introduced in 1985, only 4 won an NBA title with the team that drafted them. And of the 4, it was 2 sets of 2 #1 overall picks (Spurs with Robinson and Duncan, Cavs with LBJ and Kyrie).

Where's MM?

Cleveland won the championship with Lebron when he was acquired via free agency. So while technically he was drafted by Cleveland, it has a slightly different meaning than the other 3 on that list.

Looks like Keyonte is doing the work in the training room and gym. I expect him to be one of the top rookies in the league next year.

Scouts are drooling over him, but he was barely a factor for Baylor. He was good until about January and then a liability the rest of the year. It's hard for me to care about his career when he did very little for Baylor.

He was only Big12 Fr of the Year and our secord leading scorer behind Flagler (by only .3 PPG)

---

Keyonte had 20 at Kansas, had 23 at KSU (when Flagler went 1-13), went down with the injury against Texas, and did not look 100% when he came back pretty quickly from the ankle injury. He appears to be a scorer where everything comes from his quick first step, which he didn't seem to have in March.

That said, Freshman are going to look bad on more than one occasion in the Big 12. All of the 19 year olds at the top of the draft this year struggled down the stretch.

Freshmen sometimes look like Freshmen ... We had the 18-19 year old version, what do you think he looks like by age 22? Good, very good

Yea, he'll be good in a couple years. That doesn't help Baylor. I'm just not sure we should target more than 1 such player per class. Keyonte looked checked out during March Madness.

I think there are few enough of those types it will be a problem that takes care of itself.

Kentucky has also had 23 first rounders in the last decade to Baylor's 3

Keyonte's production dropped off when he was injured & got sick, at about the same time I believe. One cannot fault him for not being 100% under those circumstances. He is still human.

Yet they have the same number of national championships.

In total or just the last decade?

Needs to add another 2-3 feet on those floaters - they won't reach the rim in the NBA.

Well I guess lately in the last 5 years Baylor has had 4 players drafted and Kentucky has had 17 and 13 being first round. Since 2020 Baylor has had 4 and Kentucky has had 7
